Tesla is finally poised to showcase the second generation of its high-performance electric Roadster, setting the debut date for October 1. The automaker teased the announcement on social media with a launch-themed graphic.
Originally unveiled back in 2017, the sports car’s development has faced numerous postponements and a complete redesign. Reports indicate the original prototype was scrapped in favor of a fresh concept that reportedly incorporates cold gas thruster technology from SpaceX.
Despite the imminent unveiling, actual manufacturing is still quite far off. Industry expectations suggest that volume production will not begin until roughly 12 to 18 months following the official presentation.
