Tesla Roadster reveal live: Updates from the launch of the next-gen sportscar
What happened
Tesla unveiled its next-generation Roadster at a SpaceX test site near Waco, Texas, showing the car driving up an inverted ramp and hovering before landing.
Elon Musk said Tesla will build the long-delayed vehicle in 2028, though he did not give a price.
Tesla offers three versions: the $50,000-deposit Performance, the $250,000-deposit Thrust, and the invite-only Rocket, according to Tesla’s website.
The Thrust version has rear cold-gas thrusters, while the Rocket has 10 thrusters around the car and seats one, Tesla said.
