The September 22, 2020 deck shows a 46 by 80 millimeter cell, 5x energy, 6x power, and a 16 percent range figure on that slide. It also prints 100 GWh in 2022 and 3 TWh by 2030. Later updates name 4680 production, a Cybertruck prototype, and a 40 GWh Texas capacity row.

The Q4 2018 update says construction started in January 2019. Reuters dates the groundbreaking ceremony to January 7, 2019. The January 3, 2020 release says just under 1,000 customer-salable cars and a run rate above 3,000 a week. Xinhua's January 7, 2020 story says 15 employee cars on December 30 and 10 cars to the public that day.

The November 11, 2022 post invites other companies to use the connector and calls it the North American Charging System. Ford's May 25, 2023 release and GM's June 8, 2023 release say North American Charging Standard. SAE's own press page did not return article text.

Tesla bought SolarCity for 0.110 of a Tesla share per SolarCity share. The deal closed November 21, 2016. On June 6, 2023, the Delaware Supreme Court affirmed a finding of entire fairness. It did not decide that Mr. Musk was a controlling stockholder.

Tesla's updates print energy-storage deployments in gigawatt-hours. The same updates print factory rows for California, Shanghai, and Texas. Shanghai's February 11, 2025 start of production is a government announcement, not the quarterly total.

Gov. Ron DeSantis quote-posted on October 16, 2026, that Florida would make the Roadster legal. The FAA told POLITICO the vehicle is not an aircraft. No Florida bill or rule adopting the pledge was found.

The 2017 website prices were $150,000 and $180,000, with production targeted for 2019. Ars Technica dates the first PepsiCo delivery to December 1, 2022. The Q2 2026 update says Commissioning, and its outlook sentence does not say volume.

CNBC's account of the 2019 unveil is $39,900, $49,900, and $69,900. The November 30, 2023 order page was a different sheet. Tesla's Part 573 filings count potentially involved trucks. They are not a delivery total.

Chancellor McCormick rescinded the 2018 Tesla CEO award on January 30, 2024. Stockholders voted again on June 13, 2024. She denied ratification on December 2, 2024 and set a $345 million fee. On December 19, 2025, the Delaware Supreme Court reversed the rescission, reinstated the plan, and awarded one dollar.

On October 17 and 18, 2026, Yann LeCun called the Roadster's compressed-air thrusters a short, impractical burn. Mr. Musk answered with a Monty Python line. LeCun's seconds, specific impulse, and 700 bar are his figures.

On Oct. 15, 2026, Tesla demonstrated a SpaceX-assisted Roadster that drove upside down, flipped, and landed on thrusters. Production, speed, range, and price are not confirmed at the same grade.

Mr. Musk said Roadster production starts in 2028. The deposit record conflicts with itself — $5,000 plus $45,000 on Tesla's reservation page as fetched October 18, $50,000 and $250,000 in Reuters and most outlets — and the reservation agreement reportedly does not guarantee delivery at all.

Lars Moravy called the Roadster's thruster gas 'air' on Tesla's livestream. The pre-event engineer interviews — Moravy to Hagerty among them — say nitrogen, chosen because spacecraft use it. The record contains both, and this page does not settle it.

On October 15, 2026 — the day of Tesla's Roadster demo — Alef released footage of its Model A lifting off vertically, transitioning to forward flight, and gliding over a parked Roadster, a Cybertruck, and a Lexus RX. Alef calls the Roadster 'the second flying car in history.' The flight is on the record; the ranking is a claim, and it is graded here, not repeated.

NHTSA's audit of how Tesla self-certified a car with no steering wheel, pedals, or mirrors is open, with Tesla's sworn answers due October 30. And the Austin fleet is three different sizes depending on who counts: 300-plus, 319 to 349, or far fewer — printed side by side here, never merged.

Tesla's definitive proxy, filed October 19, 2026, sets the annual meeting for December 3 at 3:00 PM CT at Gigafactory Texas, record date October 13. The ballot has three items: re-electing Musk, Denholm and Straubel; an advisory say-on-pay; and ratifying PwC. The same filing prints $158.36 billion as the accounting value of Musk's 2025 award — while Tesla has reported his realized 2025 pay as $0, with none of 12 tranches earned.

Yann LeCun derived about five seconds of Roadster thrust from first principles on October 17, 2026. Tesla's engineering chief told Top Gear one fill is about five to six seconds. The argument is over what five seconds means, not over the arithmetic.

In the same week of October 2026, Forbes put Elon Musk's net worth at $923.7 billion, Bloomberg's tracker printed between $971 billion and $1.04 trillion, and the 311 Institute said $843.0 billion. The spread is wider than most billionaires' entire fortunes — and about $100 billion of it is a single bookkeeping decision about 286.4 million restricted Tesla shares.

Tesla's official Roadster livestream replay carries chapter marks: Ramp Demo 6:03, Kickflip 10:56, 0-60 Demo 15:58. The 0.81-second figure is a number on Tesla's own screen at the event, not an independently timed run.

The Roadster's underbody fans — up to 2 g of suction, a live gauge showing about 4,700 kg of downforce upside down — descend from the Chaparral 2J of 1970 and the Brabham BT46B of 1978, both fan cars, both banned.

On October 20, 2026, Elon Musk confirmed on SpaceX's Q3 call that Tesla and SpaceX have each formed a special committee of independent directors to explore a merger — and said he thinks it is a good idea. SpaceX's October 22 filing says no determination has been made and that any combination still needs approval from the committee, the board, and Musk himself as controlling shareholder. Reuters reports insiders say the public endorsement rattled the process.

On October 20, 2026, an X post showed a Tesla Roadster flying off a city rooftop. Lead Stories fact-checked it and the Hive detector rated it 100 percent likely AI-generated. The real demo was October 15; the first convincing fake arrived October 20.

The 2026 Roadster's thruster system as its own engineers describe it: cold gas in carbon-overwrapped tanks rated to 10,000 psi, a cockpit screen that read 5,500 psi, and roughly five seconds of boost per fill — with refills measured in hours.

Musk's own bar for a Tesla–SpaceX merger is a majority of all outstanding Tesla shares — not of votes cast — so every uncast ballot counts against. Analysts are pricing the deal anyway: Dan Ives puts approval at roughly $550 a share, Gene Munster gives 95% odds within two years, and the modeled exchange ratios cluster around 0.6–0.7. No ratio has been negotiated, and the companies have published none of the three numbers.

Tesla's 2026 Roadster comes in three claimed trims: Performance with fans only, Thrust with 4 thrusters and a 200-liter tank, and Rocket with 10 thrusters, 600 liters, one seat — and, in Tesla's own words, not approved for public road use.
