Tesla Roadster wiki: October 2026 reveal

The October 2026 reveal changed both the Roadster’s design and the numbers attached to it. This reference separates the car shown on stage, the reported configuration targets and the older 2017 concept. Each entry adds an explanation or comparison specific to its subject; the specification page holds the central list of figures.

How to use the numbers

The specification page is the central register. Its tables distinguish a reported demonstration result, a manufacturer target and an unresolved production specification. A target range is not certified range; a deposit is not the vehicle price. Follow the source beside an entry before relying on it.

For the replay, launch-time calculations, road-use evidence or payment terms, use the reader guides. The source library records which material was retrieved directly and which article bodies had to be reviewed from saved captures.

Work through the engineering questions

Start with the suction-force budget if the 2g claim seems to imply a cornering result. It shows the difference between force from the fans and the load at the tires. For range, the battery-size example demonstrates why an unspecified consumption figure prevents a pack estimate. For shopping, the configuration use cases begin with the trip or activity you need the car to perform.
