Tesla’s upcoming Roadster is set to mark a shift in the company’s lineup, becoming its sole manually driven vehicle as the automaker increasingly focuses on autonomous robotaxis and artificial intelligence-driven technology. The move reflects Tesla’s broader strategy to integrate its electric vehicles with advanced robotics and self-driving systems. With the Roadster serving as the last model requiring human control, the company appears to be accelerating its vision of a future dominated by autonomous mobility. Industry observers will be watching to see how this transition impacts Tesla’s product strategy and consumer appeal.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk said the new Roadster would become the EV maker's only manually driven vehicle as it pivots to robotaxis and robots.
