Tesla presented its next‑generation Roadster at a SpaceX test bed in McGregor, Texas, where the car launched off a ramp, executed a mid‑air flip, and reached 60 mph in under a second. Elon Musk described the vehicle as a ‘pilot‑focused’ machine, highlighting its cold‑gas thrusters and multi‑mode suction system.---
---The spectacle sent Tesla's shares up 4% to $375 in pre‑market trade, while SpaceX shares rose 1%.---
---Analysts had mixed expectations for the quarter, projecting revenue growth of 12‑15% versus the 6‑8% rise seen in Q3, but the company has not released guidance on the Roadster's commercial launch.---
---Tesla will report Q4 results on October 25, and investors will be watching for any updates on the Roadster's pricing, production timeline, and its potential impact on the luxury sports‑car segment.
