Description
The all-new 2028 Tesla Roadster has finally been revealed — and it may be the most extreme vehicle Tesla has ever built.
In this film, we take a detailed look at Tesla’s revolutionary new electric supercar, including its SpaceX-developed cold-gas thrusters, suction fan system, active aerodynamics, 1 MW electric powertrain and the extraordinary flight demonstrations shown during the official reveal in Texas.
Tesla demonstrated 0–60 mph in just 0.81 seconds during the event. For the extreme Rocket configuration, the company is targeting an acceleration time of under 0.59 seconds and a top speed above 230 mph.
The new Roadster is expected to be offered in increasingly extreme Performance, Thrust and Rocket configurations. The Thrust version adds rear-mounted cold-gas thrusters, while the invitation-only Rocket configuration adds additional nozzles capable of producing vertical and rotational forces.
The car also uses a multi-mode suction system designed to generate extreme downforce even at very low speed. Combined with active aerodynamic surfaces, adaptive suspension and thruster technology, the Roadster pushes far beyond the limits of a conventional electric supercar.
Tesla describes the interior as a true “pilot’s car,” with a steer-by-wire yoke and extensive use of lightweight materials including carbon fiber, magnesium and titanium.
The design is inspired by aerospace engineering, including aircraft such as the SR-71 Blackbird and F-35, with concealed lighting, active body surfaces and gold-tinted glass inspired by a spacesuit visor.
Tesla has not yet announced the final purchase price.
Current U.S. reservations require a $50,000 commitment for the Performance version and $250,000 for the limited Thrust version. These figures are reservation deposits — not the final MSRP.
Tesla is targeting production of the new Roadster in 2028.
