Welcome to Roadster Wiki, an independent guide to the new Tesla Roadster: the electric sports car Elon Musk says can fly.

Latest

On October 15, 2026, Tesla unveiled the new Roadster at SpaceX's rocket test site in McGregor, Texas, nearly nine years after the car was first shown. In the demonstration the car climbed an upside-down ramp, flipped through the air and hopped over a row of other Teslas using cold-gas thrusters. Tesla says production will start in 2028. Full story: News.
