The Tesla Roadster is coming… April Fool’s!

Tesla’s Roadster is ten years of waiting, wild promises, and now a presentation date that is quite surprising.
The next-generation Tesla Roadster had everything to make history: an “epic and mind-blowing” electric supercar capable of performances worthy of a science fiction movie. Announced in 2017, it was supposed to arrive within a few months. Today, nearly ten years later, it is mostly famous… for its repeated delays and increasingly improbable announcements.
At the time, Elon Musk promised a car capable of going from 0 to 60 mph in 1 second. Quickly, ambition flirted with madness: integrated SpaceX thrusters to briefly fly, a “rocket pack” to boost acceleration, and supposedly unforgettable demonstrations. Every announced schedule was postponed, every performance promise crazier than the last.
The longest running joke in automotive history?
In 2025, the farce continues. Musk has just set the first public presentation for April 1, 2026. The coincidence of the date does not go unnoticed, and one can wonder if this announced April Fool’s is accidental, or if it is a wink to the fans’ patience. Production is now scheduled for 2027, ten years after the initial announcement. A decade of teasing and superlatives… for a car that remains ghostly.
In the meantime, the Roadster has become a character in its own right: it flies, it soars, it breaks the laws of physics… in Musk’s speeches. On the Joe Rogan Podcast, he even suggested the car could glide, as if the supercar had inherited a sci-fi jetpack. Each new statement reminds us that for Tesla, the Roadster is not just a vehicle: it’s a permanent April Fool’s joke.

After so many delays and extravagant promises, the initial enthusiasm has turned into awkward amusement. Even if Tesla eventually delivers this Roadster, it will remain primarily as a symbol of a communication strategy that confuses dream with reality. But let’s give the product a chance and see you on April 1, 2026, for a good laugh… or maybe not.
