In a post on X from the official Tesla account, the second-gen all-electric hypercar is expected to make its debut on October 10.<\/p>\n<p>Despite Tesla&#8217;s poor track record with previously-promised dates, it&#8217;s more likely this announcement will stick. In August,<em>\u00a0The Information<\/em> reported that Tesla would launch its Roadster soon, particularly with the ability to fly. We&#8217;re not sure how Tesla is going to deliver on this capability, but the company&#8217;s website features a countdown to the Roadster reveal, which is teased by an image of what could hint at cold-gas thrusters that are supposed to come with the SpaceX model that flies. While a flying car sounds nice, it could be about as impressive as the Cybertruck&#8217;s Wade Mode.<\/p>\n<p>Those waiting for the next Roadster model have been left in the dark since the prototype&#8217;s initial reveal in 2017. At the time, Tesla said its updated electric sports car would go from 0 to 60 mph in less than two seconds, come with a top speed exceeding 250 mph and offer more than 600 miles of range. Back then, the base model Roadster started at $200,000, while a Founder&#8217;s Edition variant went for $250,000. However, some of those who preordered the Roadster for $50,000 have already canceled their reservation, including OpenAI&#8217;s CEO Sam Altman and tech YouTuber, Marques Brownlee.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2256966\/teslas-second-gen-roadster-is-finally-getting-a-debut-nearly-a-decade-later\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><br \/>\n<center\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The reveal is scheduled for October 10, so long as it\u2019s not delayed again. &#13;&#13;&#13; &#13; Tesla It&#8217;s been delay after delay, but Tesla is&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":84728,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[2535,5389,3698,29974,21694,20354],"class_list":["post-84727","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tech-gadgets-reviews","tag-debut","tag-decade","tag-finally","tag-roadster","tag-secondgen","tag-teslas","wpcat-32-id"],"brizy_media":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84727","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=84727"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84727\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/84728"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=84727"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=84727"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=84727"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
