Tesla Roadster May Finally Be Revealed This Month With SpaceX Thrusters

Tesla’s next-generation Roadster, long rumored since its 2017 reveal, could finally be unveiled this month, according to a report cited by Reuters and based on The Information. The piece suggests the event may include a demonstration of a Roadster equipped with cold-gas thrusters developed in collaboration with SpaceX. The test is reportedly taking place at SpaceX’s facility in McGregor, Texas. Even if thrusters are shown, only a limited number of cars are expected to use that setup; the standard Roadster is still expected to rely on a conventional all-electric powertrain. The report also notes the broader context: open-top 2+2 EV sports cars are niche in the U.S., with few direct equivalents, and a potential Tesla-SpaceX merger could face geopolitical hurdles due to ties to China and SpaceX’s defense role.
