Tesla picked back up work on the electric sports car this summer. It could look very different from the original concept.

Tesla is talking about finally bringing the next-generation Roadster to production in new job listing. However, you shouldn’t hold

If Tesla does reveal a "production" Roadster before the end of the year, I really wouldn't be surprised. Just don't expect actual production.

In February 2024, Musk posted to X that he aimed to ship the Roadster in 2025. One feature he teased was that the Roadster would be able to go from zero to 60mph in less than a second. He also stated that, "I think it has a shot at being the most mind-blowing product demo of all time."

It gets better; the OpenAI CEO may have prompted Elon Musk to make fresh promises about a new Roadster coming in 2025.

Tesla has not been shy about touting some impressive performance statistics for the new Roadster: zero to 60 mph in less than two seconds, a top speed of more than 250 mph, a range of 620 miles, and even a plan for rocket-style thrusters. When (or if) the Roadster makes it to production, will it achieve these lofty numbers?

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman publicly shared his frustration over a delayed Tesla Roadster refund. He detailed his 2018 reservation and a recent attempt to cancel it after a long wait. Tesla CEO Elon Musk responded,

Sam Altman doesn't want his Tesla Roadster anymore. Elon Musk should probably forget about the electric supercar too.
