GoKawiilTesla to unveil next-gen Roadster at SpaceX Texas site after years of delays
Tesla plans to reveal its next-generation Roadster on Thursday at a SpaceX test facility in McGregor, Texas, nearly ten years after it began collecting deposits for the car. The company recently reopened $50,000 reservations in the U.S., Canada and China, and executives are expected to share pricing, specifications and production targets at the event.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The Roadster has become a symbol of Musk's pattern of ambitious promises and repeated delays, having missed every delivery target since 2017, including one he floated for late 2025. While the car is unlikely to move Tesla's financial needle given its expected low production volume, the event could serve as a test of Musk's credibility with both investors and the fan base that has waited years for the vehicle.
- Tesla will livestream the next-gen Roadster reveal from a SpaceX site in McGregor, Texas.
- The car has missed every promised delivery date since deposits began in 2017.
- Despite hype around SpaceX-derived thruster technology, the Roadster is expected to have minimal financial impact on Tesla.
