Tech Bytes Highlights Tesla Roadster Claim and 2028 Production Target

Duluth Superior, MN, October 16, 2026 —

A Tech Bytes segment in Duluth-Superior highlighted Tesla’s new Roadster, with Elon Musk demonstrating the vehicle and claiming it can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in one second.

The reported acceleration relies on compressed-air technology, according to Musk’s claim as described in the segment summary. The summary does not include independent test results or further technical details about the system, so the one-second figure is presented as a claim rather than a verified performance result.

Production is slated to begin in 2028. The summary also says three versions will be available, with reservations starting at $50,000. It does not specify the names or features of the versions, whether the reservation amount varies by version, or other terms associated with placing a reservation.

No additional details were provided about the vehicle’s specifications, production location, or delivery schedule. The segment summary also does not say whether the production target or reservation information was accompanied by further statements from Tesla. The information available therefore centers on Musk’s acceleration claim, the use of compressed-air technology, the planned 2028 production start and the stated reservation threshold.

The description does not provide a date for the Tech Bytes segment. It likewise does not include further information about the demonstration beyond Musk’s role and the performance claim.
