Elon Musk Teases Tesla Roadster Unveiling Once Again
A poster on X called the planned event "unforgettable" and Musk simply replied "Yes."
Elon Musk has once again teased a potential unveiling of the Tesla Roadster, sharing a video from his appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast where he discussed the long-awaited electric sports car.
What Happened
Musk shared a post on X featuring a clip from his Joe Rogan Experience appearance that included Roadster discussion. A user commented that the upcoming unveiling would be "unforgettable," and Musk replied simply: "Yes." Tesla's VP of Vehicle Engineering, Lars Moravy, said in July: "Roadster is definitely in development. We are gearing up for a super cool demo. It's going to be mind blowing." The vehicle remains in design development with previous unveiling targets including April before being pushed to August. Franz von Holzhausen told Jay Leno this week the event would be "very soon."
Why It Matters
The Roadster was first announced in 2017 and has seen multiple delays, frustrating eager fans and potential buyers. The electric sports car is expected to feature a SpaceX cold gas thruster package that Tesla has hinted could allow the vehicle to float or fly briefly. For those waiting to see the final production design and specifications, the continued teasing offers little concrete information beyond confirmation that work continues.
The Bottom Line
Musk confirmed he still plans an unveiling event described as "unforgettable," though no firm date has been set. Tesla's engineering team says development is ongoing with demos in progress, but fans have grown accustomed to delays and remain uncertain when—or if—the Roadster will enter production this year.
