83 Comments Elon Musk is teasing Tesla doing “the most epic demo ever”, but we heard him claim that before and nothing came of it. On X last night, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said that he was shown something at the Tesla Design Studio and that the company will hold the ” most epic demo ever by the end of the year”: Just left the Tesla Design Studio. Most epic demo ever by the end of the year. Ever. I used to get excited about Musk making statements like that, but I was burned one too many times. In 2016, Musk said this: Advertisement - scroll for more content Our goal is, and I feel pretty good about this goal, that we’ll be able to do a demonstration drive of full autonomy all the way from LA to New York … by the end of next year. The end of 2017 came and went without this demonstration and now in 2025, Tesla can’t do it either. However, since Musk referenced being at Tesla’s Design Studio, where it mostly works on car designs and advanced features, people are speculating that it’s something else. A possibility is the next-gen Tesla Roadster, as Musk has made similar comments about it in the past, but they were again about demonstrations that never happened. Shortly after the unveiling of the next-gen Roadster in 2017, Musk talked about adding cold air thruster to the supercar to allow it to have unprecedented racing performance and even possibly hover over the ground.
