The Tesla Roadster 2022 will not go on sale until next year, but if you live near the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles, you can see the car for yourself

The car's prototype is on display as part of an ongoing pop-up exhibit, because it's only on display through June 2 This is, interestingly, the day before the Tesla Model S Plaid "delivery event"

The Tesla Roadster 2022 prototype will be joined by the original 2008 Tesla Roadster We will not be getting into the car or driving it, at least not outwardly

Of course, this is only a prototype, and things could change, as the Tesla Roadster 2022 is currently not due until sometime next year Furthermore, the car has already been postponed several times over the past few years, and there is no telling if it will happen again

However, it appears that Tesla is trying to make these delays worthwhile The Tesla Model S can apparently go from 0 to 60 mph in 199 seconds, has a top speed of 250 mph, and can travel up to 620 miles on a single charge This sounds crazy, but it is par for the course from a car with a built-in 200 kWh battery pack

The Roadster is also set to be a "true" sports car, not a sporty sedan like the Tesla Model S Plaid, and will come with a removable glass roof There may be room for four passengers inside, but the image suggests that it will be quite cramped

Prices also start at $200,000, with a $50,000 deposit required; the "Founders Edition," limited to 1,000 units, will cost $250,000, fully prepaid

This is a lot of money to drop on a car and out of reach for most people So a visit to the Petersen Museum over the next week and a half may be your best chance to see this car up close and personal

Tickets and information about the museum's COVID-19 guidelines are available on the Petersen Automotive Museum website
