Tesla's long-awaited next-generation Roadster is officially making headlines again following exciting comments from Chief Designer Franz von Holzhausen. Appearing on an episode of Jay Leno’s Garage, von Holzhausen confirmed that the highly anticipated electric hypercar is coming "very soon." The announcement reinvigorates excitement for what is considered the ultimate halo vehicle in Tesla's lineup.

When fully realized, the new Roadster promises to redefine automotive performance with jaw-dropping specifications. Tesla's target benchmarks for the vehicle include an astounding 0–60 mph acceleration time of 1.9 seconds, a top speed exceeding 250 mph, and an unmatched electric driving range of up to 620 miles. These capabilities aim to set a new global standard for what all-electric supercars can achieve, combining extreme track-level performance with long-distance usability.

A major highlight driving enthusiasm around the Roadster is its ambitious engineering integration, including an optional SpaceX-collaborative "cold gas thruster" package (internally referenced as A71). This groundbreaking collaboration between Tesla and SpaceX represents one of the most innovative concepts in automotive history, designed to boost acceleration, cornering, and overall dynamics far beyond conventional vehicle mechanics.
