Tesla Roadster: Release date, price and everything you need to know about the delayed EV supercar Due out way back in 2020, the Tesla Roadster is now expected in 2026; here’s all we know so far.
A successor to Tesla’s first ever car, also called the Roadster and launched in 2008, company boss Elon Musk said the new Roadster would arrive in 2020.
But despite a few high-profile public outings for a Roadster prototype, and a stint in the world-famous Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles, Elon Musk said in the spring of 2020 that production would start in 12 to 18 months’ time.
It’s a question the automotive world has pondered for years now, but which we suspect comes up far more frequently in the homes of Tesla fans who stumped up a $50,000 deposit way back in 2017, yet are still waiting to receive their car.
The Tesla boss claimed engineering for the car would be completed in 2021, but by September that year he said production had been delayed again, this time until 2023.
