Tesla's Second-Gen Roadster Finally Sets October Debut Date

Tesla has announced October 10 as the reveal date for its long‑delayed second‑gen Roadster, a high‑end electric hypercar teased to possibly include flying capabilities. The original 2017 reveal promised 0–60 mph in under 2 seconds, a top speed over 250 mph, and 600+ miles of range, with base pricing around $200,000 and $250,000 for Founders Edition. Some early preorders have already been canceled (including by Sam Altman and Marques Brownlee). While Tesla has a history of missed deadlines, a post on X and a countdown on Tesla’s site point to a forthcoming official unveiling, albeit with caveats about potential delays.
