Tesla will unveil its next-generation Roadster on October 1, nearly nine years after Elon Musk introduced the redesigned electric supercar. The company announced the date on X with the tagline "Go for launch" and an image marked "10.01." Musk has said the demonstration will feature real technology rather than a simulation and promised an experience that "blows people’s minds," while podcast host Jason Calacanis, who said he viewed the vehicle privately, called it jaw-dropping. Tesla has previously advertised a 0-to-60-mph time of 1.9 seconds, a top speed above 250 mph and a range of 620 miles. Musk has also hinted at SpaceX collaboration, including cold-gas thrusters, although the final implementation remains unclear. A Tesla active-aerodynamics patent granted last August describes fans and airflow channels that can alter downforce and potentially generate upward force, but it does not confirm hovering capabilities for the production car or October demonstration. Tesla has not provided a definitive production schedule, pricing details or customer delivery timeline. TSLA traded at $357.75 on Tuesday, down 0.34%, and is down about 20% year-to-date. Musk also discussed deep cooperation between Tesla and SpaceX without announcing a merger or other transaction.
