    Imagine buying a car you cannot actually drive. That’s the unusual proposition behind Tesla’s Cybercab, a two-seat autonomous vehicle with neither a steering wheel nor pedals.

    After nine years of waiting, Tesla has unveiled its next-generation Tesla Roadster, and the reveal went far beyond a typical car launch.

    Tesla Lets You Drive Away Plugged In

    Tesla is giving some EV owners a rather extreme way out of a dangerous situation: drive away while still plugged into a Supercharger.

    9 Years Later, Roadster Returns

    The Tesla Roadster has spent almost nine years becoming one of the most delayed—and most talked-about—cars in modern automotive history. Tesla unveiled the second-generation concept in 2017 and originally planned to begin production in 2020. Now, in 2026, the company says October 1 will finally reveal what all those years of development have produc
