“Tesla Roadster, with SpaceX option package, will do 0 to 60mph in 1.1 seconds. The release will be next year.”

The prediction that the Tesla Roadster with SpaceX option would be released in 2022 (next year from 2021) clearly failed, as it has not entered production as of May 2026. While the 0-60 mph claim is supported by specifications, the vehicle's non-release makes the prediction missed.
