Tesla's Roadster 2 Is Finally Getting Unveiled on 1 October, Nine Years Later

Tesla has confirmed it will unveil the second generation Roadster on 1 October 2026. If you are doing the maths, yes, that is nearly nine years since Elon Musk first announced the car at a semi truck event in November 2017. The original promise was a 2020 delivery date. Then 2021. Then it quietly disappeared from the conversation entirely for a few years. And now here we are.

Key Takeaways

  • Tesla will unveil the second-generation Roadster on 1 October 2026, nearly nine years after its 2017 announcement
  • Original specs promised zero to 60 mph in 1.9 seconds, over 250 mph top speed, and 620 miles of range
  • Base price was announced at 200,000 dollars with a Founders Series edition at 250,000 dollars
  • A SpaceX cold-air thruster package was promised as an option, one of the more unusual automotive proposals on record
