Tesla has once again postponed the unveiling of its long-awaited second-generation Roadster. The event, originally scheduled for October 1 in Texas, has now been moved to October 15. The company cited forecast extreme weather conditions as the reason for the change.

Nearly nine years of waiting

The Roadster prototype was first shown to the public back in 2017 — nearly nine years ago. At the time, Tesla promised production would begin in 2020, but deadlines have shifted repeatedly since then, and the car still has not reached the market.

What comes next

With the new date set, interested buyers now have to wait only about two more weeks. Still, it remains unclear when the car will actually go into production and become available for purchase. The October 15 event is expected to bring more details about the vehicle's technical specifications and production plans.
