Elon Musk has once again promised a next-generation Tesla Roadster, six years after initially hyping it. He claims the new Roadster will have unprecedented design goals and performance, including reaching 60 miles per hour in less than a second. This comes amid competition from Chinese rival BYD, which has introduced a new electric supercar. However, skepticism remains about the potential impact of a refreshed Roadster on Tesla's business, with some experts questioning its relevance and suggesting that Musk's focus should be on more affordable EVs.

Elon Musk announced that the "radically" different Tesla Roadster will ship in 2025, with the production design complete and an unveiling planned for the end of 2024. The electric sports car, which will feature a "SpaceX option package" with small rocket thrusters, is a collaboration between Tesla and SpaceX. Originally announced in 2017, the Roadster has faced delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic and global supply chain issues. Musk expressed confidence in the Roadster, aiming for it to be a groundbreaking product demo with a target speed of 0-60 mph in under 1 second. This announcement comes amid reports of Apple scrapping its self-driving electric car project, and both Apple and Tesla experiencing stock market declines.
