终于！希望如此吧？特斯拉宣布将于10月15日再次发布第二代Roadster车型。该活动原定于10月1日举行，但由于天气原因被推迟。新的活动时间定为美国中部时间（CST）晚上7:55，且仅限那些已预订门票的观众参加。特斯拉表示将会对活动进行现场直播。
Finally! Hopefully? Very likely? Tesla says it's set to re-unveil the second-generation Roadster on October 15. The event was originally scheduled for October 1, but the automaker postponed it due to inclement weather. The new event is scheduled for 7:55 p.m., Central Time, and is strictly limited to reservation holders who received direct tickets. Tesla says it will livestream the event.
这次Roadster的发布筹备工作已经持续了多年：首席执行官埃隆·马斯克早在2017年11月就首次公布了这款重新设计的车型。今年9月，特斯拉发布了一张这款高性能电动汽车的预告图，配文为“Go for launch”，图中显示一辆Roadster汽车被一束光线照亮，画面底部写着“10.01”。马斯克称这款车“堪称‘超越凡俗’的杰作”。
Roadster event streaming live this Thursday at 7:55pm CST Thursday's event has been years in the making. CEO Elon Musk first revealed the rebooted halo vehicle nearly nine years ago, in November 2017, making this its second unveiling. In September, Tesla shared a teaser of the high-powered EV, captioned "Go for launch," showing a Roadster in a shaft of light with "10.01" at the bottom. Musk added that the car is "out of this world."
这款车型将成为特斯拉产品线中的独特之作，但其价格也相当高昂：据官方介绍，它将是一款外观时尚的敞篷车，0到60英里/小时的加速时间为1.9秒，最高时速超过250英里/小时，续航里程可达620英里，并配备一块200千瓦时的电池组（其体积与GMC旗下的大型Hummer EV所使用的电池组相当）。虽然特斯拉正逐渐转向自动驾驶技术，但这些数据依然体现了传统意义上的驾驶性能指标。
Go for launch It'll be a unique offering in Tesla's lineup — with an eye-watering price tag. The automaker has promised a sleek convertible with a 0-to-60-mph time of 1.9 seconds, a top speed above 250 mph, up to 620 miles of range, and a 200-kilowatt-hour battery pack — roughly the same size as the battery in GMC's gargantuan Hummer EV. Those are all old-school, driver-oriented performance metrics from a company that is increasingly betting on an autonomous future.
此外，马斯克还暗示特斯拉可能与SpaceX合作，为Roadster配备冷气体推进系统（他称之为“类似火箭的技术”），这种系统可以让汽车短暂地升空。
Musk has also teased a SpaceX collaboration that could give the Roadster cold-gas thrusters — "rocket-y stuff," as he put it — that could briefly lift the car in the air.
网上关于这张预告图的具体内容有很多猜测：有人认为，如果将图片倒置，可能会看到汽车悬浮在空中的场景。难道特斯拉官网上的图片其实是倒置的？
Online, there's a ton of speculation about what Tesla's teaser image actually shows. A popular theory: the image, when flipped upside down, could be showing the car floating in the air. Any chance the image on the Tesla Roadster website is flipped and it should actually look like this? @tesla #roadster #teslaroadster In September, Tesla's post quickly got the meme treatment, with some joking about how long they've waited to see the high-priced car. Tesla began taking reservations in 2017, asking for a $50,000 deposit for the base car and $250,000 upfront for a Founders Series.
9月份特斯拉发布的这张预告图很快在网络上引发了大量讨论，许多人开玩笑说他们等了这么久才终于能看到这款高价车型……特斯拉于2017年开始接受预订，要求为基础版车型支付5万美元定金，为创始人系列预付25万美元。马斯克近年来多次承认等待时间过长，并在2024年10月的财报电话会议上感谢了车辆“长期忍受等待”的定金持有人。
Musk has acknowledged the long wait in recent years, thanking the vehicle's "long-suffering" deposit holders on an October 2024 earnings call.
一些知名早期预订者已从Roadster的排队名单中删除或更改了他们的预订。OpenAI首席执行官萨姆·奥尔特曼公开取消了他的预订，而YouTuber马尔克斯·布朗利（通常被称为MKBHD）则取消了他两个预订中的一个。布朗利在Roadster预告片发布后的9月写道：“嗯嗯嗯。”
Some big-name early reservation holders have removed or altered their booking from the Roadster's queue. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman openly canceled his reservation, while YouTuber Marques Brownlee, commonly known as MKBHD, canceled one of his two reservations. "Well well well," Brownlee wrote in September after the Roadster teaser.
