Tesla Reschedules Roadster 2 Reveal Due to Severe Weather
Tesla has rescheduled the unveiling of its second-generation Roadster from October 1 to October 15 due to severe weather forecasts in Waco, Texas. The event must be held outdoors because it involves showcasing cold gas thrusters developed by SpaceX that may enable some form of flight for the vehicle. This is another delay in a long history of postponed dates for the project. The Roadster was first introduced as a concept at Tesla’s 2017 Semi launch, with promises of imminent production and deposits collected from customers. Despite Elon Musk's repeated commitments to deliver on this vision—most recently during his 2025 annual meeting—the timeline remains uncertain. Critics have grown increasingly skeptical due to the prolonged delays. Musk has previously joked about holding an April Fools’ Day event as a way of managing expectations, but even with high-profile promises and partnerships like SpaceX’s thruster tech, production is still expected to take over a year after its reveal.
