Tesla has rescheduled its next-generation Roadster reveal by two weeks, moving the event from October 1 to October 15 due to severe weather in the forecast.
Tesla confirmed the change Monday in a post on X titled “Roadster event update.”
The event was originally set for October 1 in Waco, Texas, according to invitations sent to Roadster reservation holders. The event is reportedly being held at SpaceX’s test facility in McGregor, just outside Waco.
The delay does not come as a complete surprise. Tesla had already warned invitees in an email sent earlier on Sunday afternoon titled “Important: Roadster Event Weather” that conditions could force a change.
“Since this event features a unique experience that must be held outdoors, there is a possibility we may need to reschedule due to weather. We are continuing to monitor weather reports and will reach out with additional details as soon as possible.”
The email was shared on X by reservation holder Brooks Weisblat (@DragTimes).
Tesla has been building anticipation for the event in recent weeks. The company teased the next-generation Roadster with a “Go for launch” image before showing another glimpse of the car, featuring a full-width light bar, at the end of its Semi event last week.
