Did this thing get a makeover?

This vehicle has been remodeled, as its previous model was outdated compared to newer vehicle models.
Remodeled on: February 6, 2021.

The Roadster is an electric hypercar in Jailbreak, released during the 2019 Winter Update.

Overview[]

The Roadster is a two-seater car located at the Badimo charging station near the Rising City Bank beside the river, spawning next to the Model 3. The vehicle costs Cash Icon600,000, placing it near the middle of the hypercar price range. The Roadster uses the electric motor noise when driving, which is a quiet, high-pitched whine, similar to the Model 3, Cybertruck, Volt, Icebreaker, and the Volt 4X4.

The Roadster gained an interior in the Dogs Update of February 2021. Its exterior model remained unchanged, while the interior was completely revamped.

Performance[]

The Roadster is well known for having extremely fast launch and acceleration. Its launch speed beats nearly every other vehicle in the game except for the Volt and Dune Buggy. The acceleration to top speed takes about 7-10 seconds, one of the shortest acceleration times for vehicles in the entire game.

The Roadster is one of the quickest cars in short to mid-range distances, due to its launch speed and acceleration, which puts it ahead of every hypercar, regardless of top speed. In addition, its brakes and handling are among the best, making the Roadster an incredible hypercar in many practical cases.

However, contrary to popular belief, the Roadster is the slowest hypercar in the game in terms of top speed and slower than some supercars, including the Stallion. It also has a poor reverse speed due to it being an electric vehicle, like the Model 3 and Cybertruck. Because of this, cheaper and faster cars become better options.

Overall, the Roadster is a decent vehicle to buy and is widely known as an excellent alternative to the Eclaire for inexperienced drivers due to its superb handling. The low ground clearance can prove to be irritating especially in chases. Even though higher suspension helps a little, it still catches even the slightest bumps.

The Roadster has a top speed of 216 MPH, which is slightly faster than NASCAR and Firetruck. It slightly beats the Volt by 1 MPH but gets beaten by the Shogun. Among the worst in the game, and the slowest of any supercar or hypercar. It only manages to beat the Model 3, Cybertruck, Mighty, and the Classic at 44 MPH.

At 78 MPH, it is the fourth fastest out of all vehicles in the game, making it useful for getaways and short-haul driving. It is slower than Aperture by 1 MPH, and slightly outpaces Power-1. It ties with Successor. Although its acceleration to top speed takes only 7-10 seconds, it loses to a few vehicles, such as the Dune Buggy, Volt, and the Jet Ski.

With a turning speed of 1.68 compared to the standard 1.4, handling is smooth regardless of speed. This makes it easy to perform sharp turns, making it one of the best-handling cars in the game. Ground clearance is the worst in the game, reducing off-road and highway capabilities. Higher suspensions can remediate to this problem, however.

Second best braking ability in the game, just behind ATV, coming to a full stop almost instantly. The few cars that can come close are the Megalodon, Mighty, and Airtail, each taking roughly half a second. It is tied with the ATV, Model 3, and the Cybertruck. Roadster has below average health of 75 HP. It's comparable to Proto-08 and Successor, but behind Beam Hybrid.

Trivia[]

  • This vehicle is based on the Tesla Roadster 2020.
    • In its real-life counterpart, the Roadster has 4 seats, but in the game, there are only 2 usable seats. This was probably done for balancing reasons.
    • The real-life Tesla Roadster is also a convertible, whereas the Jailbreak version is not.
      • On release, the Roadster's roof was non-collidable, implying that the Roadster could've had a convertible roof that can be toggled like the Jeep, Boxer and Longhorn. This was not the case, and the roof was made collidable in February 2020.
  • The body and window colours of the car are somewhat reflective. The only other vehicles with this trait are the Volt (body only), Volt 4X4 (body and wheels), the Ambulance (windows only), and the Cybertruck (windows only).
    • As of the update of Season 2: Out Of This World, the Roadster does not have reflective windows, as it uses glass because of its interior addition.
  • This was one of the most requested vehicles in the Jailbreak community, also being one of the oldest, with suggestions dating back to the early days of the game, in late 2017.
  • The real-life Roadster's price, when researched upon, costs $200,000, 1/3 of its in-game price. This was also most likely done for balancing reasons since the real Roadster claims to be able to rival speeds of the Bugatti Veyron and Chiron with a 1.9 second 0-60 mph time, and for Cash Icon200,000, it beats everything else in that price range.
  • When equipping gradient-colour textures (such as Scorch and Frost), the texture is reversed.

Miscellaneous trivia[]

  • The Roadster is the third electric vehicle to be added into Jailbreak after the Model 3 and Volt and before the Cybertruck, Volt 4X4, Icebreaker, Desert Crawler and Proto-08.
  • Even though it runs on electric motors, which are capable of rotating backward at the same speed as forwards, the Roadster has a bad reverse speed. This trait is shared with the Model 3 and Cybertruck.
  • The Roadster is one of seven vehicles that did not get a full model overhaul when it received an interior, the others being the Cybertruck, Camaro, Celestial, SWAT Van, Pickup, and the Helicopter.
  • When equipping a spoiler on the Roadster, the spoiler appears narrower than its regular width. This trait is shared with the JB8.
  • The Roadster is one of the three only land vehicles with a different steering wheel design. This feature is shared with the Cybertruck and the Volt 4X4.
  • The Roadster is one of three Tesla-brand vehicles in the game, with the others being the Model 3 and the Cybertruck.
  • Due to this being an electric vehicle, the Roadster along with the Model 3, Cybertruck, and the Volt have single-gear transmissions.
