00:00It's Benzinga bringing Wall Street to Main Street!
00:02Tesla unveiled a redesigned Roadster, developed with SpaceX on Thursday, and said production
00:07would begin in 2028, more than a decade after its initial reveal, according to Reuters.
00:12The electric sports car demonstrated rocket-style thrusters by driving upside down, turning
00:17in mid-air, and jumping over vehicles.
00:19Tesla said the Roadster can accelerate from zero to 60 mph in less than one second, reach
00:24speeds exceeding 230 mph and travel more than 300 miles on a single charge.
00:30Reservation deposits range from $50,000 to $250,000, depending on the version.
00:36The unveiling comes as Tesla shifts its focus toward autonomous driving and robotics.
00:40Gene Munster of Deepwater Asset Management said the Roadster showcased Tesla's engineering
00:44capabilities but offered little commercial value beyond embarrassing traditional automakers.
00:49Tesla shares rose 5% in pre-market trading Friday ahead of its October 21st earnings report.
