It was in 2017 when Tesla made a shock reveal at an event originally deemed for its semi-truck unveiling: the all-new 2020 Roadster. The crowd in attendance went wild and the internet quickly exploded. And then Tesla CEO Elon Musk revealed the Roadster's stunning specs: 0-60 mph in 1.9 seconds, 0-100 mph in 4.2 seconds, and a top speed in excess of 250 mph. Range? Try 621 miles on a single charge, a figure that's literally unheard of today.

But Musk has just reiterated that range during a recent Twitter exchange. Someone asked him whether the new Roadster will still achieve that specific range and Musk responded as follows: "Range will be above 1000km."
