Here's how Tesla's new Roadster is a completely different car from the 2017 version

• Tesla has unveiled the next-gen Roadster twice: in 2017 and again on Thursday.
• We list the differences between the two versions.
• Range: down. Price: unknown. Flying: way up!

Turns out, a lot can change in nine extra years of product development.

A lot of the nuts and bolts powering the Roadster changed — and so did the car’s metrics. So, we put together a chart comparing Tesla’s old Roadster promises with the new ones.
