Tesla officially confirmed the next-generation Roadster will debut on October 1, 2026. CEO Elon Musk confirmed the date via the company's social media channels. This announcement establishes a firm timeline for the electric sports car first revealed in 2017. The vehicle missed its original 2020 production target following multiple delays.
Tesla issued invitations for an event in Waco, Texas. The location sits near the SpaceX McGregor rocket testing site. Musk previously stated the Roadster would offer a SpaceX Package utilizing cold-gas thrusters.
The October 1 event represents a major milestone for the delayed vehicle. It coincides with a broader series of Tesla product announcements scheduled for September and October 2026.
