Tesla's chief executive, Elon Musk, announced on September 13 that the electric vehicle manufacturer will unveil its next-generation Roadster on October 1, marking a decade since the company first proposed a successor to its original sports car. The news was posted on Tesla's official X account, with Musk confirming "New Tesla Roadster Unveil 10.01" shortly after. The announcement comes after years of development delays and significant changes to the project's plans.
Initially scheduled for a 2020 launch, the Roadster's development has been repeatedly delayed, with the Information reporting in August that Tesla planned to unveil the redesigned vehicle as early as that month. The latest announcement suggests the event will feature a demonstration of a limited-edition version equipped with cold-gas thrusters, developed in partnership with SpaceX. The demonstration is anticipated to take place at SpaceX's test facility in McGregor, Texas.
The Roadster project has undergone considerable changes since its inception, evolving into an all-new carbon-fiber hypercar. Tesla has abandoned earlier plans that would have utilized components from the Model S Plaid. The company's shift towards autonomous driving, exemplified by the launch of the limited Cybercab rides in Austin, Texas, adds another dimension to Tesla's strategy of expanding beyond conventional electric vehicles.
