Tesla announced the upcoming debut of its second-generation Roadster, scheduled for October 1. The company shared the news on X with the message Go for launch, accompanied by a graphic that suggests the inclusion of cold gas thrusters developed by SpaceX.
The sports car was originally announced in November 2017 and has faced multiple production delays. Last year, the project became a topic of public discussion when OpenAI CEO Sam Altman expressed frustration over the long wait after placing a $50 000 reservation deposit.
Recent reports indicate that the original 2017 design has been abandoned in favor of a new model. Despite the upcoming reveal, Elon Musk noted that full-scale production of the vehicle is expected to begin only 12 to 18 months after the official presentation.
