Tesla Model 3 Roadster


What’s more interesting about the new compact luxury car from Tesla is that, the company’s co-founder and CEO, Elon Musk, who is on the verge of acquiring a similar status among tech fans as Steve Jobs, has said that the Model 3 will form the basis for the successor to the brand’s first car, the Roadster.

Musk has promised to bring the new Roadster (name not confirmed yet) in 2019 with a speed mode called "maximum plaid", a cheeky reference to Mel Brooks’ 1987 comedy Spaceballs.


If Tesla’s previous automotive endeavors are any indication and it doesn’t get sidetracked by the Model 3’s introduction, then we should see a prototype of the next Roadster within the next two years, but until then, the artist Theophilus Chin, has taken the new EV and with a little help from what we think is a Mercedes-Benz SLC/SLK hidden below, morphed it into a two-door sports car.
