虽然现在特斯拉正在忙于生产新一代Model 3，但下一代敞篷车更多细节最近逐渐浮出水面。这家位于加州的工厂正在开发新一代敞篷车，该车将在三年后发布。特斯拉负责北欧地区业务的经理Peter Bardenfleth-Hansen近日透露，新一代敞篷车“看上去有点不同，比现行版更快，也更大。”据报道，新车将与Model 3基于同一平台，但搭载了动力更强劲电动驱动系统，看起来更像是基于现行版的升级版本。不过，在新一代车型上市之前，特斯拉还将推出现行版的3.0升级版。不过，升级版不太可能提供包括新的空力套装，新的低抗滚车胎和LG提供的新电池组。最大的可能仅仅是为在特斯拉网站预订的消费者提供电池组。

 

Next-gen Tesla Roadster to be "faster and bigger"

Tesla Motors is currently pretty busy dealing with the unexpectedly high demand for the new Model 3, but first details regarding the second generation Roadster are starting to arrive.

 

It is believed the Californian company is already working on a successor for the sporty model that will likely be launched three years from now. Tesla is apparently doing good job keeping the development of the vehicle in secret, as we haven’t heard much about it so far.

 

But now, Tesla’s Nordic Countries Manager Peter Bardenfleth-Hansen revealed first details of the upcoming new Roadster. During a presentation at an electronics trade fair in Gothenburg, Sweden, he declared the open-top electric sports vehicle will "look a little different” and will be “a little faster and a little bigger.”

 

While this is pretty vague, reports say the new Roadster will be based on the same platform that underpins the Model 3, while a more powerful electric powertrain sounds like a reasonable upgrade over the current model.

 

But before launching the new Roadster, Tesla will have to provide the promised Roadster 3.0 update for the owners of the current model. The update was announced more than year ago, but it doesn’t look like anyone received the retrofit package that includes a new aero kit, new tires with lower rolling resistance, and a new battery pack with LG cells. So far, only the battery pack was made available for reservation on Tesla’s website.
