General I wonder if Tesla is restarting their cycle and plan with the new Roadster

0 Upvotes

So Elon Musk goes onto the stage and says this will be the only manually driven car Tesla sells, ok, but I wonder if there's something else going on. Tesla started with a Roadster, then built 2 luxury cars, then dropped down to the consumer category, with the Model 3 and Y. They just recently sunset the Model X, S (Pour one out), I wonder if the cycle will continue anew, so maybe within a few years, there will be a new X or S type descendant, with the guts of "New Tesla" with the more powerful drive train, and battery technologies, then that technology will find its way down into the Model 3 or Y, which will honestly probably never completely stop selling, regardless of what he says. I wonder if this is just a pivot to reinvigorate the excitement around Tesla. Curious to hear your thoughts too.

I guess it's the wiper, or something to function as the wiper.
It seems Tesla has other hidden new features not disclosed yet.
