Sorry, Tesla fans. You'll have to wait a little longer to see the new Roadster.
Tesla wanted to rip the covers off its SpaceX-powered Roadster on Thursday. Expected heavy rain and thunderstorms got in the way.
Tesla postponed the re-reveal of its Roadster electric sports car due to severe weather conditions. The event, initially scheduled for Thursday, is now set for October 15. The Roadster has faced numerous delays since its first prototype was unveiled nine years ago. Tesla's focus on AI and autonomy has also contributed to the delays.
The automaker had previously announced that the Roadster would enter production in 2020, but it has been pushed back repeatedly. Musk has teased a potential collaboration with SpaceX to add rocket-like thrusters to the car.
