<p>Roadster unveiling: best posts on X, with links</p>
<p><b>New page</b></p><div>The '''[[Tesla Roadster (second generation)|Tesla Roadster]] unveiling''' on October 15, 2026, at SpaceX's test site in McGregor, Texas, lit up X. This page collects the best posts: Tesla's own announcements, what Elon Musk said, and how people reacted. Every line links to the original post. Figures are '''Tesla's claims''' from its posts, not independent tests. Dates are US Central time.<br />
<br />
== From Tesla ==<br />
* '''Event day.''' Tesla posted its livestream link hours before the show.<ref name="x-tesla-live">Tesla (@Tesla), [https://x.com/Tesla/status/2110788059008819215 "Roadster event livestream"], ''X'', October 15, 2026.</ref><br />
* '''Design.''' Tesla says its design language has evolved "from S3XY to Cybertruck, Cybercab & Optimus", and that the Roadster is inspired by the SR-71 and F-35 jets.<ref name="x-tesla-design">Tesla (@Tesla), [https://x.com/Tesla/status/2110903770838384773 "Our design language has evolved since the last reveal… Roadster is inspired by the SR-71 & F-35"], ''X'', October 15, 2026.</ref><br />
* '''A pilot's car.''' "Roadster is a true pilot's car: active aerodynamics, a multi-mode suction system & cold-gas thrusters", with concealed headlights, a full-length taillight and flush surfaces.<ref name="x-tesla-pilot">Tesla (@Tesla), [https://x.com/Tesla/status/2110907035571401174 "Roadster is a true pilot's car: active aerodynamics, a multi-mode suction system & cold-gas thrusters"], ''X'', October 15, 2026.</ref><br />
* '''Three versions.''' Performance (road ready, two seats, active aerodynamics and the suction system) and Thrust (race ready, two seats, the suction system plus rear-mounted cold-gas thrusters for 0–60 in under one second).<ref name="x-tesla-configs">Tesla (@Tesla), [https://x.com/Tesla/status/2110905588402295283 "Configurations – Performance: road ready, seats 2… – Thrust: race ready, seats 2"], ''X'', October 15, 2026.</ref><br />
* '''Thrusters from SpaceX.''' Tesla says SpaceX has used thrusters to position spacecraft for decades; making them work in a car "instead of a vacuum took all-new hardware & controls", and every usable space in the car holds carbon-fiber pressure tanks (COPVs) for compressed gas.<ref name="x-tesla-copv">Tesla (@Tesla), [https://x.com/Tesla/status/2110904290743402880 "SpaceX has used thrusters to position spacecraft for decades"], ''X'', October 15, 2026.</ref><br />
* '''More than tire grip.''' "Roadster's thruster system generates 4–5x the force the tires can… physics does the rest."<ref name="x-tesla-grip">Tesla (@Tesla), [https://x.com/Tesla/status/2110904620948267152 "Every car on the road today is limited by one thing: tire grip"], ''X'', October 15, 2026.</ref><br />
* '''Track Mode.''' The car transforms in Track Mode; Tesla calls it "the best passive downforce package of any road car (approaching F1 levels!)", with the wing moved by its Optimus robot actuators.<ref name="x-tesla-track">Tesla (@Tesla), [https://x.com/Tesla/status/2110905133785829671 "Roadster transforms in Track Mode"], ''X'', October 15, 2026.</ref><br />
* '''The jump.''' "Real life, baby", with video of the ramp stunt.<ref name="x-tesla-real">Tesla (@Tesla), [https://x.com/Tesla/status/2110913438293647789 "Real life, baby"], ''X'', October 15, 2026.</ref> Later: "Do a kickflip!"<ref name="x-tesla-kickflip">Tesla (@Tesla), [https://x.com/Tesla/status/2110926164306931860 "Do a kickflip!"], ''X'', October 15, 2026.</ref><br />
* '''0–60 mph in 0.81 seconds''', and 0.67 seconds with rollout subtracted, according to Tesla.<ref name="x-tesla-081">Tesla (@Tesla), [https://x.com/Tesla/status/2110963770763649487 "0-60 mph in 0.81 seconds"], ''X'', October 16, 2026.</ref><ref name="x-tesla-067">Tesla (@Tesla), [https://x.com/Tesla/status/2110964095696723984 "0.67 seconds (w/ rollout subtracted)"], ''X'', October 16, 2026.</ref><br />
