Tesla Hints at New Roadster Debut on October 1 With Launch-Style Teaser

Tesla has dropped a fresh hint that the next-generation Roadster will finally be shown on October 1, marking roughly nine years since the automaker first pulled the wraps off a concept version of the electric supercar.

The teaser arrived on Friday in the form of an image with the phrase “Go for launch” attached to it. In the visual, the hypercar is lit in a way that echoes a rocket sitting on a pad before liftoff, and the date “10.01” appears across the frame.

The message suggests Tesla is preparing a long-awaited follow-up to the original Roadster prototype, though the company has not shared additional specifics about the event or the vehicle itself.
