Tesla Roadster Delayed Once Again: Is the Dream of the Electric Supercar Fading?

Tesla Roadster Delayed Once Again: Is the Dream of the Electric Supercar Fading?

In a disappointing but unsurprising turn of events, the long-anticipated Tesla Roadster has been delayed—yet again. Originally unveiled as a concept in 2017, Tesla CEO Elon Musk boldly claimed that the revolutionary electric supercar would hit the streets by 2020. However, fast-forward to October 2024, and the Roadster remains nowhere in sight, with no significant progress made toward delivering the electric juggernaut.

Musk recently confirmed this latest setback during a shareholder meeting, offering his “thanks” to the loyal deposit holders who have been waiting for years. But instead of bringing good news, Musk’s comments made it clear that the Roadster remains a distant goal for the company, despite initial claims of 2024 production.

“The Roadster is not just the icing on the cake, it’s the cherry on the icing on the cake,” said Musk, highlighting how Tesla has prioritized more impactful projects over its supercar. Musk further added, “We’d all love to work on the next-gen Tesla Roadster… but it has to come behind the things that have a more serious impact on the good of the world.”

Despite hints that production might kick off in 2025, Musk’s ambiguous statements have left fans and potential buyers in the dark, fueling speculation that this latest timeline could also fall apart.

The original Roadster concept promised over 1,000 horsepower with an insane 0-60 mph time of under two seconds, and rumors even suggest that a SpaceX package could reduce that time to under one second. However, without any solid confirmation or detailed updates, this remains pure speculation.

What will the final Tesla Roadster look like? Will it maintain the sleek design of the 2017 concept, or will it adopt Tesla’s futuristic “Cyber” aesthetic? We don’t know. While Musk teased that the final design will be revealed next year, Tesla fans have learned to take such promises with a grain of salt.

As Musk himself admitted, the Roadster, while exciting, has been relegated to the backburner in favor of Tesla’s broader mission. Whether that means Tesla fans will finally get their hands on the Roadster in 2025—or later—is anyone’s guess. For now, enthusiasts and deposit holders alike will have to keep waiting for the electric supercar that’s become more of a pipe dream than reality.
