Tesla Postpones Roadster Hover Demo to October 15 Due to Texas Storms

Tesla has officially rescheduled its long-delayed Roadster hover demonstration from October 1 to October 15, 2026, citing severe weather forecasts in central Texas. The event, which features a remote-controlled car hovering using SpaceX-developed cold gas thrusters, must be held outdoors, making thunderstorms and high winds a critical risk. This is the latest in a series of delays for the vehicle, which has not entered production since its 2017 unveiling. While the weather-related postponement is a practical necessity, it highlights the ongoing challenges Tesla faces in delivering a tangible product to reservation holders who have paid significant deposits.

Tesla Roadster reveal looms as EU FSD vote slips to December

Tesla is preparing to unveil its next-generation Roadster on October 1 in Waco, Texas, with reservations requiring a $50,000 deposit. Simultaneously, the European Union has delayed its vote on Tesla's Full Self-Driving (Supervised) to December, pushing back a potential bloc-wide approval by months. While the Roadster launch is expected to clarify pricing and specs, the FSD delay leaves the software available only in seven EU countries, with major markets like Germany and France still pending.

Tesla Reopens Roadster Reservations as October Reveal Looms

Tesla has reopened reservations for the next-gen Roadster ahead of its October 1 reveal in Waco, Texas, with a refundable $50,000 deposit ($5,000 due now and $45,000 within 10 days). The final price will be confirmed when configurators go live, as pricing is still an estimate after years of delays and changes from the original plans; the design has shifted to a sharper, Cyber-inspired look, and Musk has teased extreme performance amid ongoing production uncertainties.

Tesla Roadster 2.0 Promises Sub-1s Sprint and SpaceX Thrusters at Oct 1 Reveal

Tesla’s second-generation Roadster will be revealed October 1 in Texas with expectations of sub-2s 0–60 (base) and potentially sub-1s with an optional SpaceX thruster package, along with F1-inspired ground-effect aero, a new one-piece carbon-nylon seat, and steer-by-wire; production is planned at Gigafactory Texas, with estimated pricing around $200k for standard and $250k for Founder’s Series, and a live on-stage demo with audience verification rather than a pre-recorded video presentation.

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.

Tesla Sets October 1 Reveal for Next-Gen Roadster, Teasing a Flying Demo

Tesla has announced an October 1 reveal for its next-generation Roadster, the long-delayed follow-up that first appeared as a concept over a decade ago as the company pivots toward AI, robotics, and autonomy; early teasers suggest taillamps and four circular elements that could be SpaceX‑developed thrusters for a possible flying demo, with a street-legal version also planned and a remotely operated demo vehicle reportedly possible due to thruster noise, while prices are expected to run into hundreds of thousands of dollars as Tesla positions the car as a potential 'swan song' before widespread self-driving.

Tesla Weighs a Tri-Motor Model 3 Plaid, but Roadster Priority Keeps It Long-Term

Tesla Weighs a Tri-Motor Model 3 Plaid, but Roadster Priority Keeps It Long-Term

Tesla engineering chief Lars Moravy says a third, carbon-sleeved motor could theoretically be added to the Model 3 Plaid, but fitting three motors into the Model 3’s rear is a tight engineering challenge. The project is described as a “work for reward,” with current focus on the next-generation Roadster; if pursued, the tri-motor setup would likely come later, potentially trickling down to the fleet after Roadster production.

Lamborghini’s Fenomeno roadster roars into exclusivity with 1,080hp and a €5m price tag

Lamborghini unveils the Fenomeno roadster, a 1,080‑hp hybrid V12 open‑top limited to 15 units priced around €5 million (plus taxes); invitations are extended to loyal customers for delivery in the first half of 2028. Building on the Fenomeno coupé, it emphasizes a “feel like a pilot” ethos, with a carbon-tub architecture derived from the Revuelto and all‑new subframes. It’s pitched as a GT hypercar rather than a track car, aimed at collectors who typically drive very little (often under 300 miles a year).

Tesla's 2026 Wishlist: From Forever FSD to an Affordable Model 2 and Beyond

An opinion-piece wishlist for Tesla in 2026 envisions making Full Self-Driving a true software license owned by the user, unveiling a $25,000 Model 2 compact EV and a true 6/7-seat family SUV (CyberSUV), delivering the Roadster, offering HW3 retrofits and MCU4, adding a 360° parking view, expanding V2H/V2L across the lineup, native Starlink connectivity, a Tesla App Store, expanded Theater and Steam support, in-app energy arrival features, more customization options, adjustable speed control, and a Tesla-branded home heatpump—framed as aspirational ideas rather than confirmed plans.
