Participants contrast the Tesla Roadster with the Mission S and discuss Porsche timing

Participants contrasted Tesla’s experimental approach to the Roadster with the Mission S’s more retro-oriented design. One called the Mission S a beautiful return to classic sports cars and praised its interior, while describing it as having almost no innovation. The car’s engine was not confirmed in the discussion: participants referred to a Flat-8 rumor, correcting an earlier suggestion of a V8.

One host hoped the Mission S would enter production by the end of the following year, with deliveries in 2028. That was a participant’s expectation, not a manufacturer-announced schedule. Another speaker said they had cancelled their Roadster order that morning; a different participant worried the Roadster could be delayed because of the project’s complexity.
