"Speedforms are usually created in the design stage, to quickly test out proportions, aesthetics, and overall fluidity. They don't go through any meticulous engineering. Automotive Designers just make rough sketches and then convert them into 3D models to gauge what a car 'could' look like. They're made to a tiny scale, often the size of tabletop models barely a couple of inches wide. These Tesla models have the exact same proportion and level of detail."
"It starts with the 2008 Roadster (v1), going up to the S3XY models, and finally the Tesla Semi and the Cybertruck. The Model 3 speedform even has the gullwing style open doors for added detail. Notably, the Roadster V2 is still missing in action, even though it was announced nearly 8 years ago. Even though just recently announced, the Robotaxis haven't made it to the set yet,"
Tesla was founded in 2003 and acquired by Elon Musk in 2004, and the first Tesla car launched in 2008. Tesla released a limited-edition gold Speedform Set of seven miniaturized stylized models representing every car sold, priced at $250 with launch years etched on a baseplate. Speedforms are design-stage sculptures used to test proportions and aesthetics without meticulous engineering and are made at tiny tabletop scales. The set ranges from the 2008 Roadster (v1) through the S3XY models, the Tesla Semi, and the Cybertruck; the Model 3 speedform features gullwing-style open doors. The Roadster V2 and Robotaxis are not included because V2 remains unreleased and Robotaxis are still conceptual.
