Tesla has announced a new major facelift of the Roadster, which is expected to be put into mass production in 2028.
The facelifted Roadster adopts the same angular new appearance as the Cybertruck, and introduces hidden LED headlights, horizontal LED taillights and a flat aerodynamic design, giving it a futuristic and technological visual effect. In addition, the rear of the car is equipped with an active spoiler that automatically rises when driving at high speeds, providing strong downforce to maintain vehicle stability. The interior of the car maintains Tesla's signature simple interior layout, with only a sports steering wheel and a large central touch screen. The two sides of the integrated sports seat are also covered in gray suede, allowing the driver to stay more firmly on the seat.

The most unique feature of the revamped Roadster is the introduction of cold gas thrusters derived from SpaceX rocket technology, which not only provides strong acceleration, but also supports upward and horizontal steering functions, thereby achieving levitating flight capabilities. The cold gas thrusters can be fully fine-tuned in a fraction of a second, helping the vehicle maintain stability while levitating.
The facelifted Roadster can achieve levitating flight capabilities through cold gas propellers around the body.
In addition, the facelifted Roadster is also equipped with a multi-mode fan and ground-mounted aerodynamic system, which can extract air from the bottom of the vehicle. The strong suction generated can even fix the entire vehicle upside down when the vehicle is stationary. The downforce of the active spoiler and rear wing can further maximize the vehicle's tracking and cornering speed, showing even better control skills.
According to the original manufacturer’s information, the facelifted Roadster can accelerate from 0 to 100 mph in 1 second.
