Tesla has delayed the scheduled reveal of its redesigned, second-generation Roadster from October 1 to October 15, citing a forecast of severe weather in Waco, Texas. The company stated on X that the outdoor-only event had to be rescheduled following close tracking with local meteorologists. The vehicle, first unveiled as a concept in 2017 alongside the Semi, was designed to be Tesla’s first ground-up supercar, featuring planned integration of SpaceX cold gas thrusters intended to enable flight.
Tesla initially collected $50,000 deposits for the Roadster, which carried an estimated base price of around $200,000, alongside $250,000 reservations for 1,000 Founders Series units. The project faced numerous previous delays, with CEO Elon Musk previously considering an April Fools’ Day launch in 2025 to maintain deniability for potential postponements. Following the upcoming October 15 reveal, Musk expects production to take a year or more.
