Tesla's reveal of its second-generation Roadster is under way after a two-week weather delay. The event is taking place at SpaceX's rocket test facility in McGregor, Texas, where the company is set to detail what it has in store for the next chapter of its sports car.
The nameplate itself is not new. The original Tesla Roadster debuted 20 years ago, and Elon Musk announced that the company was building a second-generation version nine years ago. Since then, a "Starman" mannequin was launched into space aboard a Roadster 2.0 concept — a span that, as the source notes, has covered two U.S. presidential elections.
Ahead of the event, Musk promised that the audience would see "some crazy stuff," without specifying what would be shown. That leaves open the question the source raises: whether the unveiling is a prelude to another long stretch of unfulfilled promises or the moment a car finally appears. The company has not said what the event will include beyond that remark.
Tesla has referenced the Roadster 2.0 concept in its public messaging for years, yet the source notes that no production car has been shown. No specifications, pricing or production timeline for the vehicle have been disclosed in the material available so far. The event is being treated as a developing story, with updates expected through the evening as more details emerge from Texas.
