In the world of electric supercars, the news of the revival of the Tesla Roadster feels like a breath of fresh air. With promises of breathtaking performance and hopes of reuniting with enthusiasts, the California manufacturer seems finally poised to launch its iconic model. But beware, this is not just a simple update; it’s a true renaissance!
The Return of the Legend
For this “Arlésienne” of the electric car, the countdown is finally coming to an end (maybe). According to leaks reported by foreign press and on social media, Tesla has filed two patent applications for the new Roadster. For the record, this is the “remake” of the supercar that launched Elon Musk and his associates into the automotive world. Produced in about 2,450 units between 2008 and 2012, it was reintroduced in version 2.0 in 2017, with the promise of commercialization in 2019.
Unfortunately, due to internal difficulties, the pandemic, and changing priorities, the car slipped to the bottom of the list. The last official update dates back to the third quarter 2025 earnings call, when CEO Elon Musk announced a second presentation on April 1 of this year.

A Lettering and Three Lines
An official logo has now resurfaced, presented by Tesla to the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). The image shows the word ROADSTER in a stylized typography, accompanied below by three elegant lines evoking the silhouette of a sports car. A design that could make any automotive designer envious!
So, are we there? Possibly, but nothing is certain. As specialists remind us, this type of filing often falls under a preventive approach, allowing companies to take the lead to prevent others from using similar names or symbols. A precaution that shows even automotive giants must protect their identity.
April Fools?
It’s also important to keep in mind that the Texas manufacturer has not commented on these rumors and, above all, that Elon Musk rarely meets announced deadlines. The date chosen for the (re)presentation is, however, highly symbolic. Like a wink to the public, this April first could be a date for an April Fool’s joke, or a true revelation. Indeed, Musk has always had a knack for mixing mystery and reality.
“The April Fool’s leaves some room for maneuver. I could say I was joking,” he stated before shareholders. A delightful mix of humor and uncertainty that perfectly fits the character’s image.
While waiting for more details, the community of enthusiasts wonders if this new Roadster will be able to compete with other supercars on the market. Will it live up to expectations after so many years of waiting? The promises of extraordinary performance and impressive range seem to be on the table, but only a real presentation will clarify things.
In summary, whether to admire its futuristic design or to test its performance on the track, the new Tesla Roadster promises to be a model to watch closely.
