So far it’s still unclear about the timing when the next-gen Tesla Roadster will make it to mass production. Though, it is not an obstacle for the supercar to become the well-known pop-culture phemomenon. For instance, Roadster appeared at one of the latest ‘The Simpsons’ episode.
Probably such cameo is not the event worth talking about for some, though there is one huge thing about it. ‘The Simpsons’ is not just the animated comedy show about the American society, it also perfectly reflects the culture and the time when episodes are going on air. That it so important, that we can make some conclusions on customer behavior and perception of real things, reflections of which appear in the show. Simply put, Tesla Roadster is already becoming the automotive pop-culture symbol just as some Hummer, Harley-Davidson and others. Even though it still didn’t make it to production.
By the way, the exact episode suggest that Leonardo DiCaprio owns the two-color next-gen Tesla Roadster. By the way, who would be able to tell what it’s numberplate refers to?
Actually, this is not the first time Tesla vehicle appears in ‘The Simpsons’. In one previous episode they demonstrated the Autopilot - yet another pop-culture symbol of Tesla.
