Tesla revealed a new generation of the Roadster, including a SpaceX‑equipped Rocket variant that demonstrated short airborne maneuvers during the presentation.

Presentation details

During the presentation, Tesla unveiled three planned trims and emphasized the Rocket model, which uses SpaceX thrusters for limited lift.

Versions and capabilities

• Performance — a road‑legal trim focused on driving dynamics and acceleration for conventional use.
• Thrust — an enhanced powertrain configuration with aerodynamic upgrades intended for track and high‑performance driving.
• Rocket — a variant fitted with SpaceX booster modules, not currently intended for regular road operation, capable of brief flight maneuvers.

Tesla indicated production is planned to begin in 2028, and the company did not provide specific volumes or a detailed mass‑production timeline.
