Tesla's reveal of its second-generation Roadster is underway, after a two-week weather delay pushed the event back. The unveiling is taking place at SpaceX's rocket test facility in McGregor, Texas, where Tesla is showing what it has in store for the next iteration of its sports car.

The original Tesla Roadster debuted about 20 years ago, and Elon Musk announced that Tesla was building a second-generation Roadster nine years ago. That concept, the Roadster 2.0, was the car used to launch the "Starman" mannequin into space; two U.S. presidential elections have taken place since then.

Ahead of the event, Musk promised that those watching would see "some crazy stuff." Tesla has not yet disclosed final specifications, pricing or a production timeline for the vehicle, and it is not clear how close the revealed car is to a deliverable product.

It remains to be seen whether the evening will mark the debut of a car that actually reaches customers or becomes another chapter in a long-running wait. Coverage is being updated live as details emerge from the event, with further information expected as the presentation continues.
