The Tesla Roadster’s October reveal looks like another piece of pantomime — it’s a shame the once ground-breaking company doesn’t focus on cars anymore
Tesla’s new Roadster could fly, but I’d rather it built a car people can actually buy.
The long-awaited Tesla Roadster, a vehicle with a history dating back nine years, is set to make its debut in October. Rumors have swirled about the potential use of gas thrusters to boost acceleration, and a recent teaser image from Tesla's official website has only fueled speculation. The image, believed to showcase a taillight, spoiler, and four thrusters, has led some outlets to suggest the car may use cold-gas thrusters developed by SpaceX for enhanced performance.
The unveiling is reportedly scheduled for October 1 in Waco, Texas, with invitations reportedly already being sent to key Tesla figures. Despite these tantalizing details, Tesla's track record for delivering tangible passenger vehicles has been spotty, with the Cybertruck being a commercial failure and the company currently offering just two models.
Fans may be left disappointed if the Roadster's reveal only serves to showcase a product that remains out of reach for the general public, rather than marking a return to Tesla's innovative roots.
