Musk reposted some of his tweets from June 2018, when the new Roadster was first introduced, including a boast that “the new Tesla Roadster will exceed all gas sports cars in every way.”

The first vehicle Tesla made was a Roadster, first released in 2008. The company made about 2,500 of the $100,000 sports cars before introducing its first sedan, the Model S, in 2012. Tesla has since become the bestselling EV maker in the U.S. and the second largest globally.
