Tesla's chief designer, Franz von Holzhausen, has confirmed that the company's long-awaited new Roadster will be unveiled before the end of 2025. The announcement provides the most concrete timeline in years for the high-performance electric sports car, which was first revealed in 2017. Elon Musk has previously stated the vehicle will push "the limits of physics" and could be the "most mind-blowing product demo of all time". This future product news comes as Tesla recently launched cheaper, standard-range versions of its Model Y and Model 3 vehicles. The move is seen as a strategic response to the expiration of the $7,500 federal EV tax credit in the U.S., aiming to broaden the accessibility of its lineup in a changing market. These developments occur just ahead of Tesla's Q3 2025 earnings report, scheduled for October 22, which investors are closely watching.
