GoKawiilTesla postpones Roadster 2 reveal from October 1 to October 15 over weather
Tesla has rescheduled the unveiling of its second-generation Roadster from October 1 to October 15, citing forecasts of severe weather in Waco, Texas. The company said the event must be held outdoors, and cited close monitoring with local meteorologists in deciding to delay.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The outdoor requirement is likely tied to Tesla's reported work integrating SpaceX cold gas thrusters meant to give the Roadster flight-like capability, a feature that would need open-air demonstration space. This is only the latest in a long string of delays for a car first shown in 2017 and promised 'a few years away,' which may test the patience of customers who put down deposits as high as $250,000.
