Tesla is set to unveil the new-generation Roadster on Thursday in Texas, nearly ten years after pre-orders opened, while a prototype has been exhibited at the Petersen Automotive Museum and a retro-futuristic interface has been shown. The model is presented as a possible new technological benchmark for high-performance electric cars, but limits of nitrogen thrusters and repeated delays temper its practical appeal. In the United States, coverage focuses on the unveiling, the museum and a reservation refund dispute; in the Netherlands, an original Roadster is trading at a price higher than the new model's deposit. The French press also covers the story, without specific national detail in the provided sub-events.
