Tesla unveils the new Roadster and reignites debate over its positioning

On Thursday in Texas, Tesla presented the next-generation Roadster, nearly ten years after pre-orders opened, featuring a retro-futuristic interface and a demonstration using cold-gas thrusters. Production is announced for 2028, and while the model is presented as a potential new technological benchmark, its positioning remains divisive, with the use of thrusters potentially limited by long charging phases. Coverage is international (United States, China, Germany, Netherlands, France), but detailed facts focus mainly on the United States, where one customer stated they can no longer cancel their 2017 reservation. In the Netherlands, coverage highlights that an original Roadster trades at a price higher than the deposit for the new model, while in South Korea, the model is compared to the wave of high-performance vehicles embodied by Hyundai Magma.
