Tesla Teases October 1 Next-Gen Roadster Unveiling in Waco, Texas

Tesla has issued a teaser video and invitations ahead of its next-generation Roadster unveiling, scheduled for October 1 at 8:30 p.m. in Waco, Texas. The sports car was originally unveiled in November 2017 with initial 2020 delivery plans, but faced repeated delays. Ahead of the event, Tesla reopened customer reservations requiring a $50,000 upfront deposit, consisting of a $5,000 credit card payment and a $45,000 wire transfer. The vehicle is anticipated to feature SpaceX-developed cold-gas thrusters, sub-2-second 0-60 mph acceleration, and a top speed topping 250 mph.
