Tesla's New Roadster Night: The Full Lineup, From Model 3 to Semi

Thursday, October 15, 2026 · Technology · GSM News

McGREGOR, Texas — Tesla unveiled the new-generation Roadster on the evening of October 15 at SpaceX's McGregor test site near Waco. As GSM reported earlier, the demonstration car used a fan-based downforce system and cold-gas thrusters to drive up an inverted ramp, flip in mid-air and land, then lift off and hop over a Cybercab, a Cybertruck, a Tesla Semi, a Model Y and a Model 3. Tesla says all three versions offer 300 miles of range and a top speed above 230 mph; CEO Elon Musk said production will begin in 2028, and no price was announced that night. The video at the top of this page is Tesla's official event video, cued to the demonstration segment. Alongside the launch, the GSM editors round up Tesla's full current product lineup. Prices below are from Tesla's U.S. online configurator as of October 15, 2026, before taxes, delivery and options.
