Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, has announced that the next-generation Tesla Roadster will be unveiled in April 2026, marking nearly a decade since the original prototype was shown. This announcement has been met with skepticism by reservation holders who put down significant deposits years ago. The shift from "demo" to "unveil" suggests a new design could push the car further out further. The announcement aligns with Musk's previous promise of a demo for the Roadster in April 2025. However, this announcement has lost all credibility as it is not production, but actual production. The company also has job listings for Roadster manufacturing engineers indicating early-stage work, not imminent production.
