Tesla just teased the next-gen Roadster reveal today. Here's what you need to know.

Tesla posted "Go for launch" on its official account, confirming the next-gen Roadster will be unveiled on October 1. Sawyer Merritt and other Tesla-focused accounts amplified the announcement within minutes.

The teaser image shows four thruster plumes firing, and fans found a hidden message in the dark band of the graphic reading "Where we're going," a nod to the SpaceX thruster package long rumored for the car.

Tesla has taken $250,000 Founders Series deposits on the Roadster since 2017. Elon Musk said in November 2025 that production would start in 2027 or 2028, meaning the October 1 event is expected to be a reveal, not a launch of deliveries.

Key numbers:
- October 1: unveil date announced
- $250,000: Founders Series deposit held since 2017
- 2027-2028: Musk's stated production start
- 1.1 seconds: previously claimed 0-60 mph with optional rocket thruster
- 200 kWh: previously stated battery capacity

Tesla has not yet detailed final pricing, range, or production specs for the October 1 event.

Tesla har varslet at eventet utsettes til 15. oktober grunnet dårlig vær:

«Oppdatering om Roadster-arrangementet Vi har fulgt været nøye sammen med lokale meteorologer, men på grunn av de alvorlige værforholdene som er meldt, og fordi dette arrangementet kun kan gjennomføres utendørs, har vi tatt den vanskelige beslutningen om å utsette det. Ny dato er 15. oktober. Flere detaljer kommer senere.»
