- Tesla warned guests invited to its October 1 Roadster event that the long-delayed demo could get pushed back again, citing weather as the potential cause.
- Tesla told invitees via email that the event "must be held outdoors" and may need to be rescheduled.
- The Roadster demonstration was already described as long-delayed before this latest potential weather postponement.
- The forecast for central Texas on Thursday — the location of the planned outdoor event — is reportedly unfavorable.
Why it matters: The source confirms the Roadster demo was already 'long-delayed' before weather entered the picture, meaning any rescheduling adds to an existing backlog of slipped timelines for the vehicle. Tesla's reliance on an outdoor venue makes the event unusually exposed to a variable the company can't control, raising the practical cost of further postponement.
