Tesla's surprise Roadster video hints the 2017 design is gone

Key Points:

• Tesla teased a redesigned Roadster at its Semi event, revealing a new front light bar design aligning with other Tesla models, and hinted at an upcoming event in Waco, Texas, where pricing, specifications, and production targets will be announced with production expected no earlier than 2027.
• Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) Supervised system faces delays in EU-wide approval, with the next vote postponed until December; currently, seven EU countries have individually approved FSD, covering about 12% of the EU population, while major markets like Germany and France remain undecided.
• SpaceX completed a wet dress rehearsal for Starship Flight 14, targeting an orbital mission with a launch window on September 28; this mission will attempt orbital insertion, deploy 26 Starlink V3 satellites, and test heat shield tiles, marking a significant step beyond previous suborbital flights.
• Google plans to test its AI chips in orbit for the first time via the Project Suncatcher satellite on SpaceX’s Transporter-18 mission, aiming to evaluate large-scale AI computing in space; this follows growing collaboration between Google and SpaceX, which includes Google's stake in SpaceX and shared interest in orbital data centers.
