The next-generation Tesla Roadster is projected to feature a zero-to-sixty acceleration time under two seconds, a top speed exceeding 250 miles per hour, and a 620-mile battery range. It may also include an optional performance package developed with SpaceX featuring cold-gas thrusters and an active rear wing system that adjusts dynamically.
Tesla postponed the redesigned Roadster reveal from October 1 to October 15 due to predicted severe weather in central Texas, as the high-stakes demonstration had to be held outdoors.
