On October 15, 2026, Tesla unveiled its redesigned next-generation Roadster at SpaceX's testing facility in McGregor, Texas. The new model features rocket thrusters and can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in less than a second. During the demonstration, the two-seater vehicle drove upside down on a ramp using suction and then flipped mid-air before landing safely with its built-in thrusters. Although initially previewed nearly nine years ago, Tesla aims to start production by 2028. Despite its high cost of $200,000 per unit and reservations priced at $50,000, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has downplayed the car's financial impact on the company. However, analysts see it as a symbol showcasing Tesla’s advanced technology.
