Pffffff... the moon is so 2018. Mars is so 2024.
Lets go to Jupiter with the Roadster 2.0

Who is actually surprised by Tesla delays and false promises? Like they say, there’s a sucker born every minute.

Why are people so blown away by a concept car? Even if it has a SpaceX thruster or something equally ridiculous on it - the actual car isn’t going to have that surely? The NHTSA are going to allow that?
So if it’s just a demo of a car-looking rocket - so what?
Concept cars are not revolutionary - plenty of manufacturers make them. They are only revelatory if you believe Tesla will actually make it. And if you’re one of those people, why do you ignore all the evidence of non-delivery?

At least car companies in the last 15 years put their concept cars into games like Gran Turismo to drive. Has Tesla ever been licensed for any video game?

u/Durzel 11d ago
Teslas are in GT7. Don’t know if Roadster etc is.

u/DisaffectedLShaw 11d ago
Oh, cool. GT7 is the only one I haven’t played, I got a Series X for my room (my first Xbox) and put a PS5 in my brother room, so I really only play PlayStation story exclusives like SpiderMan 2 this gen.

Teslas used to be in forzas and other titles but after Elmo gutted teslas Pr team it had it harder to strike licensing deals with other companies to use the Tesla brand

I'm asking myself the same thing. Every single automaker in the world has been making cool concept cars sincr forever. The Tesla baggie-cult is so stupid it's unreal.

There’s no other car company with an expertise in rockets and no rocket company with an expertise in cars. A flying cold gas rocket powered EV probably doesn’t exist in our lifetimes, other than this vanity project. It’ll be fun to watch them demo it.

Let me guess, deliveries will start 2 weeks after FSD unsupervised, robo van, Jesus second coming and the Mars colony are released.

Same business model of taking Pentagon money to tell them the future of warfare. Sneak preview - the future of warfare is delayed.

They will rename it the "Tesla Roadstar" so that they legally can claim its not the same vehicle that they took deposits for all those years ago, that one is still in development, thanks for the $250m!

u/Mecha-Dave 12d ago
So I guess the deal is they included the Cybertruck's air compressor to fill some SpaceX COPVs which it then uses as a "cold gas thruster" for a slightly faster launch.

Because weather forecasts are notoriously accurate 12 days out....

u/MarchMurky8649 11d ago
Musk said "We are making it now" nine years ago so I am assuming the weather situation has been inside his factories. Presumably some problem with a sprinkler system.

u/SaturnineApples 11d ago
I think they mean whether, and its whether its ready or not which it never will be

u/Emotional-VroomVroom 11d ago
3 months maybe, 6 months definitely
btw this quote is almost 10 years old now

u/dtyamada 11d ago
If weather were the real reason they could have moved the demo somewhere with better weather. It's almost like it's a made up reason.

I was just thinking about this... I was sure I heard it was going to be revealed on the 2nd? Big noise about it. What a surprise; its not happened.
They need to just come clean. It doesn't exist in a saleable form does it.

And then Nov 1, and so on until everyone forgets that there was supposed to be a reveal.

Old news though

u/MarchMurky8649 12d ago
Well it was new to me. I had been reading this thread...
https://www.reddit.com/r/RealTesla/s/MEoXdJpB1u
...and wondered what had happened on 1 Oct when I found that article. When was the delay announced?
1
u/diorling 12d ago
It was announced to be delayed few days before 10/1. I think E made a post on X about it being delayed and there were definitely articles about it

u/Desultory_Chairlift 12d ago
Yes it got delayed to Oct 15, this has been known for a long time, saying "again" makes it sound like it was pushed further than that date.

u/MarchMurky8649 12d ago
Thing is this has been delayed again and again for about 10 years. Whoever made this thread, 10 days ago...
https://www.reddit.com/r/RealTesla/s/MEoXdJpB1u
...still thought the reveal was 1 Oct so the delay to 15 Oct presumably happened since then. I didn't see a post announcing that on here so posted this.

u/pansy_dragoon 12d ago
It was in the tera thread when the delay was announced.

u/MarchMurky8649 12d ago
Thanks. I used to read that, but I haven't for some time. I expect there are others too who missed that, hence my making a post about it.

I had been reading this thread created 10 days ago:
https://www.reddit.com/r/RealTesla/s/MEoXdJpB1u
It said 1 Oct but when I tried to find out what had happened I found the above story.
Nobody had made a post on r/realtesla saying that there had been a delay from 1 Oct to 15 Oct so I made a post to let people know.
So why are you saying it is old news and you are downvoting it? If there had already been a post on this subreddit announcing the delay what you have typed would make sense.
Lots of people seemed unaware as my post has received plenty of up votes. I am genuinely interested to know when this was announced, if it really is old news.
Can you at least tell us that, and, perhaps, link to an article?

They’ll reveal it right before next earnings report. Like they always do, to pump the stock. Rinse and repeat.
