Tesla Roadster details revealed: plug-in wiper and skirts for driving upside down

Not a Tesla App has rounded up little-known details of the new Tesla Roadster: a plug-in windshield wiper, a charge port hidden behind the active wing, deployable skirts for downforce and a Thrust trim with cold-gas thrusters producing over 80 kN. Production is set to begin in 2028.

• The lineup has four trims: standard, Performance, Thrust and Rocket
• Thrust hits 60 mph in 0.81 seconds with over 80 kN of thrust
• Charging from 15% to 85% takes about 10 minutes on new Superchargers
• Skirts create a vacuum with about 2 Gs of downforce, enough to drive upside down
