Tesla postpones new Roadster demo by two weeks due to weather
The automaker cited severe wind conditions and the outdoor-only nature of the event in rescheduling to October 15.
Tesla has postponed its new Roadster demonstration event by two weeks due to severe weather conditions. "We've been tracking the weather closely with local meteorologists, but given the severe conditions predicted & because this event can only be held outdoors, we've made the difficult decision to reschedule," Tesla said in a statement. The new date is October 15, with additional details to follow.
The decision reflects the constraints of showcasing the vehicle in an outdoor setting, where high winds posed a risk to the event's execution. Tesla did not specify the original event location or provide details about what the demonstration will entail.
