Tesla Masih Menerima Tempahan untuk Roadster Generasi Kedua Walaupun Pengeluaran Masih Tidak Pasti

Tesla terus menerima tempahan bagi Roadster generasi kedua yang telah lama dijanjikan, meskipun hampir lapan tahun telah berlalu sejak model itu diumumkan pada November 2017. Walaupun syarikat itu masih berdiam diri mengenai garis masa pengeluaran yang jelas, kenderaan ini masih disenaraikan di laman web rasmi Tesla, mengundang peminat untuk membuat deposit tanpa sebarang kepastian mengenai tarikh penghantaran.

Roadster pada asalnya diperkenalkan sebagai kenderaan elektrik (EV) berprestasi tinggi yang revolusioner, dengan Tesla pada mulanya menjadualkan pengeluarannya pada tahun 2020. Namun, jadual itu telah beberapa kali ditunda, dari 2021 ke 2022, kemudian ke 2023, dan kini ke 2024. Tahun lalu, Elon Musk mencadangkan bahawa model prototaip baharu mungkin akan diperkenalkan sebelum model pengeluaran utama menjelang 2025.

Spesifikasi dan Prestasi

Di sebalik ketidakpastian mengenai pelancarannya, Roadster kekal sebagai salah satu model Tesla yang paling bercita-cita tinggi. Syarikat itu masih mempromosikan sasaran prestasi yang diumumkan pada 2017, termasuk pecutan 0-100 km/j dalam 1.9 saat, suku batu dalam 8.8 saat, kelajuan maksimum melebihi 402 km/j, dan jarak pemanduan sehingga 997 km. Model ini juga dijangka menampilkan pacuan semua roda dan konfigurasi empat tempat duduk, menjadikannya unik berbanding kebanyakan kereta super lain.

Tesla Roadster: Eight Years of Delay and Still Taking RM221k for Reservations

Tesla continues to accept reservations for its long-promised second-generation Roadster, despite nearly eight years passing since its unveiling in November 2017. While the company has remained silent on a firm production timeline, the vehicle remains listed on Tesla’s website, inviting enthusiasts to place deposits without any clear indication of when—or if—their orders will be fulfilled.

The Roadster was initially introduced as a revolutionary high-performance EV, with Tesla projecting a production start in 2020. However, that timeline has been repeatedly pushed back, first to 2021, then to 2022, 2023, and now 2024. Last year, Elon Musk suggested a potential 2025 production date but reiterated that Tesla’s mainstream models would always take precedence in development.

Beyond its ever-shifting launch schedule, the Roadster has been at the centre of some of Tesla’s most ambitious claims. The company continues to promote performance targets announced in 2017, including a 0-100km/h acceleration time of 1.9 seconds, an 8.8-second quarter-mile, a top speed exceeding 402km/h, and a driving range of 997km. The Roadster is also expected to feature all-wheel drive and a four-seat configuration, setting it apart from many traditional supercars.

Pelabur Desak Elon Musk Meletakkan Jawatan Sebagai Ketua Eksekutif Tesla

Salah seorang pelabur terawal Tesla telah menggesa Elon Musk untuk melepaskan jawatan sebagai Ketua Eksekutif syarikat melainkan beliau menarik diri daripada peranan baharunya dalam kerajaan.

Ross Gerber, seorang pemegang saham utama Tesla, menyatakan kebimbangan mengenai penglibatan Musk yang semakin meningkat dalam politik, yang menurutnya telah menjadikan Musk terlalu “memecahbelahkan” serta kurang fokus terhadap operasi syarikat pembuat kenderaan elektrik itu. Beliau merujuk kepada pelantikan Musk sebagai ketua Jabatan Kecekapan Kerajaan (DOGE) dalam pentadbiran Trump, satu peranan yang telah mencetuskan bantahan awam berikutan cadangan pemotongan besar terhadap kakitangan kerajaan persekutuan.

Gerber menyatakan bahawa masa depan Tesla berada dalam keadaan tidak menentu di bawah kepimpinan Musk dan mendakwa perniagaan itu telah diabaikan terlalu lama. Beliau menegaskan bahawa Musk mesti kembali sepenuh masa menguruskan Tesla atau melantik Ketua Eksekutif baharu untuk menerajui syarikat tersebut.

Tesla Investor Calls for Elon Musk to Step Down Amid Leadership Crisis

One of Tesla’s earliest investors has urged Elon Musk to step down as the company’s chief executive unless he relinquishes his new government role.

Ross Gerber, a prominent Tesla shareholder, told Sky News Business Live that Musk’s growing involvement in politics had made him too “divisive” and distracted from the electric carmaker’s operations. He pointed to Musk’s recent appointment as head of the Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a role that has sparked public protests over planned deep cuts to federal government staff.

Gerber expressed concerns about Tesla’s future under Musk’s leadership, stating that the business had been neglected for too long. He argued that Musk must either return full-time to Tesla or find a new CEO to run the company. “I think Tesla needs a new CEO, and I decided today I was going to start saying it,” he said. “The business has been neglected for too long. There are too many important things Tesla is doing, so either Elon should come back to Tesla or he should focus on the government and find a suitable CEO.”

Tesla Removed from Vancouver Auto Show Over Safety Concerns

Tesla has been removed from this week’s Vancouver International Auto Show due to safety concerns, according to event organisers. The decision follows ongoing protests against the automaker and its CEO, Elon Musk.

Eric Nicholl, the executive director of the show, stated that the removal was necessary to ensure the safety of workers, attendees, and exhibitors. He explained that Tesla had been given multiple opportunities to withdraw voluntarily before organisers formally asked the company to step aside. The decision, he added, was made to allow visitors to focus on the event’s positive aspects without disruption.

The Vancouver International Auto Show, held at the Vancouver Convention Centre, is set to begin on Wednesday and will run through Sunday. It has established itself as Western Canada’s most well-attended consumer auto exhibition and one of North America’s premier automotive events. The 2024 edition saw record-breaking attendance, and organisers had promised an exhibition featuring the latest in environmentally focused electric vehicles, lifestyle displays, and commercial vendors.

Trump Kecam Keganasan Terhadap Tesla, Janji Tindakan Tegas

Presiden Amerika Syarikat, Donald Trump, mengecam keras insiden keganasan yang menyasarkan pengedar kenderaan Tesla, menyatakan bahawa tindakan tersebut akan diklasifikasikan sebagai keganasan domestik dan pelakunya akan menghadapi tindakan tegas. Dalam satu sidang media di Rumah Putih pada hari Selasa, Trump menegaskan sokongannya terhadap syarikat Tesla dan Ketua Pegawai Eksekutifnya, Elon Musk.

“Mereka merosakkan sebuah syarikat Amerika yang hebat,” ujar Trump merujuk kepada siri protes yang berlaku baru-baru ini. “Jika anda menyerang Tesla atau mana-mana syarikat lain, kami akan mengambil tindakan pantas dan anda akan menghadapi akibatnya.” Musk, yang hadir di sisi Trump dengan memakai topi besbol “Make America Great Again” berwarna hitam, turut menyatakan pendiriannya berhubung perkara itu.

Sidang media ini diadakan susulan peningkatan demonstrasi yang menentang Tesla dan Musk dalam beberapa minggu kebelakangan ini. Bantahan yang dikenali sebagai “Tesla Takedown” dianjurkan oleh kumpulan aktivis yang memprotes pemotongan tenaga kerja persekutuan dan pembatalan kontrak yang menyokong program kemanusiaan global. Musk, yang kini mengetuai Jabatan Kecekapan Kerajaan (DOGE) yang baharu dibentuk dalam pentadbiran Trump, menerima kritikan kerana dasar penjimatan kos yang dilaksanakan.

Trump Condemns Attacks on Tesla Dealerships, Pledges Severe Consequences for Perpetrators

U.S. President Donald Trump has condemned acts of violence against Tesla dealerships, declaring that such incidents will be treated as domestic terrorism and warning that offenders will face severe consequences. Speaking at the White House on Tuesday alongside Tesla CEO Elon Musk, Trump expressed his firm support for the automaker and its billionaire chief.

“They’re harming a great American company,” Trump said, addressing the recent wave of protests targeting Tesla locations. “Let me tell you, you do it to Tesla, and you do it to any company, we’re going to catch you, and … you’re going to go through hell.” Musk, donning a black “Make America Great Again” baseball cap, stood beside the president as a fleet of Tesla vehicles lined the driveway between the White House and the South Lawn.

The strong remarks follow a series of demonstrations against Musk and Tesla, which have intensified in recent weeks. Activists have staged protests labeled as “Tesla Takedown” to oppose Musk’s role in federal workforce reductions and the cancellation of contracts supporting humanitarian programs worldwide. Musk, now heading the Trump administration’s newly formed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has faced criticism for overseeing these cost-cutting measures.

White House spokesperson Harrison Fields described the recent attacks on Tesla as “ongoing and heinous acts of violence” perpetrated by “radical Leftist activists,” characterising them as “nothing short of domestic terror.”

Tesla Saman Pemilik Kereta Kerana Fitnah

Tesla semakin agresif dalam mengambil tindakan undang-undang terhadap pengkritik di China, termasuk pemilik kenderaan, penulis blog dan saluran media yang mempersoalkan keselamatan serta kualiti produk syarikat itu. Hampir kesemua tindakan undang-undang Tesla berakhir dengan kemenangan, hasil daripada sokongan kuat kerajaan serta persekitaran perundangan pro-perniagaan di China. Kejayaan ini memperlihatkan pengaruh syarikat asing yang semakin kukuh dalam sistem kehakiman negara itu, sekali gus menimbulkan cabaran besar bagi pengguna dan pengkritik dalam menuntut ketelusan serta akauntabiliti korporat.

Kes Zhang Yazhou: Pertempuran Menentang Tesla

Salah satu kes yang paling mendapat perhatian melibatkan Zhang Yazhou, seorang pemilik Tesla Model 3 yang menjadi pengkritik vokal syarikat tersebut. Pertikaian bermula pada Februari 2021 apabila bapanya mengalami kemalangan di wilayah Henan yang didakwa berpunca daripada kegagalan brek. Walaupun siasatan pihak berkuasa trafik menyimpulkan bahawa punca insiden adalah kesilapan pemandu dan memandu laju, Zhang tetap menegaskan bahawa sistem brek kenderaan itu bermasalah.

Keengganan Tesla untuk mendedahkan data penuh berkaitan kemalangan tersebut membangkitkan syak wasangka Zhang. Pada April 2021, dalam usaha mendapatkan perhatian awam, beliau mengadakan protes berprofil tinggi di Pameran Auto Shanghai dengan menaiki bumbung Model 3 miliknya, sambil memakai baju-T bertulis “Tesla Kegagalan Brek”. Aksi ini menarik perhatian media dan mencetuskan perdebatan mengenai kebolehpercayaan serta etika korporat Tesla.

Tesla Facing Legal Battles in China – Sues Car Owner For Defamation

Tesla has aggressively pursued legal action against critics in China, targeting car owners, bloggers, and media outlets that question the safety and quality of its vehicles. The company has won nearly all its lawsuits, benefiting from strong government backing and China’s pro-business legal environment. Tesla’s legal victories highlight the growing influence of foreign firms in China’s judicial system, where consumers and critics face significant challenges in holding corporations accountable.

Zhang Yazhou’s Case: A Battle Against Tesla

One of Tesla’s most widely publicised legal disputes in China involves Zhang Yazhou, a car owner who became a vocal critic of the company. The case dates back to February 2021, when Zhang’s father was driving their Tesla Model 3 in Henan province and allegedly experienced brake failure, leading to a crash. While local traffic police attributed the incident to speeding and driver error, Zhang insisted that the car’s brakes had malfunctioned. She demanded full access to the crash data, but Tesla refused to provide it in its entirety, further fueling her suspicions.

Zhang’s Protest & Tesla’s Response

In April 2021, frustrated by Tesla’s refusal to disclose complete data, Zhang staged a high-profile protest at the Shanghai Auto Show. She climbed onto the roof of a Tesla car, wearing a T-shirt that read “Tesla brake failure”, and shouted slogans, drawing widespread media attention. The protest went viral on Chinese social media, sparking heated debates about Tesla’s reliability and corporate ethics.
