Tesla will unveil the second-generation Roadster on October 1, nearly seven years after the vehicle was first announced in November 2017.

The electric sports car has faced repeated delays since its original reveal. Tesla's Roadster was designed to showcase the company's performance capabilities, with promised specifications including a 0-60 mph time under three seconds and a top speed exceeding 250 mph. The second-generation Roadster will compete in the high-performance EV market alongside vehicles like the Lotus Evija and upcoming models from traditional automakers entering the electric sports car segment. Tesla has provided limited technical details about the production version. The company previously stated the Roadster would feature a tri-motor setup, a 200-kilowatt-hour battery pack, and removable glass roof panels. The October 1 event will mark the first official reveal of a production-ready design. Pricing and production timeline details are expected to be announced at the unveiling.
