Tesla has announced a further delay for the reveal of its redesigned second-generation Roadster. The event, originally planned for October 1 in Waco, Texas, has been pushed back to October 15.
The company attributed the postponement to a forecast of severe weather conditions. In a post on X, Tesla stated, “We’ve been tracking the weather closely with local meteorologists, but given the severe conditions predicted & because this event can only be held outdoors, we’ve made the difficult decision to reschedule.”
The outdoor nature of the event is reportedly linked to plans to demonstrate the Roadster flying, potentially using cold gas thrusters from SpaceX.
