On Monday, Elon Musk struck again by posting an enigmatic message that immediately sent the Tesla community into a frenzy.

Elon Musk dropped this little bomb on X, his beloved social network: “I just left the Tesla Design Studio. Most epic demo ever to be seen by the end of the year.” A brief statement, typical of Musk’s style, but it rekindles all speculation around a major event to come. A Tesla event without a doubt, as evidenced by the comment from the official page of the manufacturer!

For several years, Tesla has been rolling out futuristic projects, from Optimus, its humanoid robot, to its autonomous robotaxi, and including the Cybertruck and the Semi. But it is especially the next-generation Roadster, announced as early as 2017 and constantly delayed, that is back at the heart of the rumors. Long presented as the technological showcase of the brand, this radical electric coupe could finally reveal itself in its definitive version.

Roadster, robot, rocket, wet firecracker???

Musk himself reignited interest in this model in 2024, promising a vehicle with such extreme performance that it might “perhaps even no longer qualify as a car.” The Roadster 2.0 aims for 400 km/h, 0 to 100 km/h in less than 2 seconds, and a range of 1,000 km. The small problem is that these figures no longer impress as much today in light of the Lucid Air Sapphire, Rimac Nevera, or Xiaomi SU7 Ultra, all of which are faster than the current Model S Plaid.

So, it’s now or never for Tesla to regain the upper hand in spectacular innovation. And if Musk talks about a demo rather than just a reveal, some hope for a launch accompanied by a grand spectacle, or even an unprecedented technical feat.

At the time of writing this, over 35 million people have seen Elon Musk’s message, demonstrating the incredible influence he wields thanks to X. So, is this a real advancement or just a publicity stunt to boost Tesla’s stock price? The end of the year will tell us. But one thing is certain, Tesla is preparing a new feat true to its image.
