The next-generation Tesla Roadster will be revealed on October 1, the automaker said on Saturday. Tesla showcased the concept a decade ago and has since delayed its launch a number of times as it focused on AI, robotics, and autonomy which it believes is core to unlocking future growth. This is the first time we're seeing a concrete reveal timeline for the long awaited model.
The teaser reveals little about the Roadster, other than what appears to be its taillamps and four circular elements on top which could potentially be the SpaceX-developed cold gas thrusters that could make it fly. The Information reported last month that the Roadster's launch was imminent, and that the automaker was planning two versions: a limited edition "flying Roadster" and a road legal model.
