Tesla indicates October unveiling for long-delayed Roadster
Tesla has indicated on X that it expects to unveil its second-generation Roadster on 1 October, nearly nine years after the electric sports car was first announced.
Tesla has indicated that it expects to unveil its second-generation Roadster on 1 October, signalling a potential milestone for one of the electric vehicle maker’s longest-delayed projects.
The company posted “Go for launch” on X alongside a graphic displaying “10.01”. TechCrunch reported that the post points to an unveiling on 1 October, although Tesla has not provided further event details in the supplied material.
Tesla first announced the sports car in November 2017. The project has since been postponed multiple times, and its production status remains unconfirmed.
The graphic also appeared to reference possible cold-gas thrusters associated with SpaceX, Elon Musk’s other company. Their inclusion and function have not been confirmed, and the supplied material does not establish that the vehicle will fly.
The Information has reported that the design announced in 2017 may have been abandoned in favour of a new, unrevealed version. That report has not been officially confirmed.
Musk has previously said production could begin 12 to 18 months after the vehicle’s unveiling, leaving the timing of any commercial launch uncertain.
