"Although development of the Model S is our main focus, this shows that we still care a great deal about improving the Tesla Roadster," said Tesla CEO Elon Musk. "These improvements are a direct result of customer feedback and come only a year after release of Roadster 2.0, showing an exceptionally rapid pace of innovation. Where feasible, we will also offer existing customers the ability to purchase the upgrades now available in version 2.5."

The Roadster 2.5 will be unveiled at Tesla’s two newest stores: one’s in Copenhagen, and the other is in Newport Beach, California. The new car is currently available for order and will soon arrive in other Tesla stores worldwide, including its Canadian store in Toronto.
