Tesla Teases Something New
This year has already been yet another rollercoaster ride for Tesla, but some important steps have been made. The refreshed Model Y has arrived, as have the updated Model S and X, and robotaxis have begun operating in Austin. Now, company CEO Elon Musk has taken to his social media site, X, to announce that Tesla plans to show off something special by the end of the year. “Just left the Tesla design studio,” Musk wrote. “Most epic demo ever by end of year. Ever.” So what could he be talking about?
Could The Tesla Roadster Finally Arrive?

The fact that Musk teased this demonstration after visiting the Tesla design studio indicates that he saw something relating to a new product, not an update or refresh of an existing one. As noted above, every EV Tesla sells except the Cybertruck has already been updated, and we doubt the slow-selling pickup is going to be restyled anytime soon. Thus, speculation has run rife that Tesla is preparing the new Roadster. Musk has often made outlandish claims of what the Tesla Roadster will be capable of, and his proclamation that the “most epic demo ever” is coming would certainly be applicable if his earlier promises come to fruition. Let’s recap some of those claims, but bear in mind that Tesla doesn’t only make cars…
Musk’s Roadster Claims And Other Ambitions
Just left the @Tesla design studio.
Most epic demo ever by end of year.
Ever.

Elon Musk has previously claimed that the Roadster will feature “alien technology” by incorporating rocket thrusters using innovations from one of his other companies, SpaceX, which has also been claimed to be providing a “cold gas thruster system with ultra high-pressure air,” which is supposedly able to allow the Roadster to fly, or at least hover. Another wild claim once made was that 0-60 mph would be possible in under a second. All of these promises would certainly fit the bill of “epic” if they are realized.
But let’s temper our expectations for now; we don’t even know if Musk is talking about the Roadster – his posts could refer to the Optimus humanoid robot. Musk has long talked up the potential use cases of the robot, and with notable advancements in xAI’s Grok (alongside unforgettably offensive posts, it must be noted), Tesla’s CEO may be teasing that the pair will become practical assistants that interact with the physical world.
