Tesla hinted at an Oct. 1 showcase for its second-generation Roadster, a specialty sports car Musk originally revealed in late 2017. The project has slipped past several hoped-for timelines, and Tesla's most recent earnings materials say the Roadster is still in "design development." In April, during Tesla's first quarter earnings call, Musk said of the Roadster, "I think it might be one of the most spectacular demos ever."
Tesla, headquartered in Austin, holds the crown as the world's highest‑valued carmaker. Right now it sells the Model 3 and Model Y, plus the Cybertruck and the Semi. The company is also producing a two‑seat vehicle called the Cybercab, which Musk views as pivotal to positioning Tesla at the forefront of autonomous driving.
The "Go for launch" language in Tesla's teaser nods directly to SpaceX rocket operations and adds fuel to ongoing chatter about a potential tie‑up between the two Musk-led companies. Tesla has long used splashy live events to build excitement among customers and investors, and Musk frequently cross-promotes SpaceX. Back in February 2018, his cherry red Tesla Roadster orbited through space as the payload on SpaceX's first Falcon Heavy flight.
