Elon’s Next Roadster: The Last Car You’ll Ever Drive Before Your Tesla Becomes Your Chauffeur

Elon Musk just dropped the most Elon sentence of 2026 about the next-gen Roadster:

“It’s the best of the last human-driven cars.”

Translation: “Buckle up, humans — this is your final boss-level joyride before the steering wheel becomes a decorative accessory and your car starts calling you ‘passenger #1’.”

He’s basically saying:

• This Roadster = last chance to pretend you’re still in control
• After this? Full autonomy, robotaxis, no more pretending you’re good at merging
• Also… SpaceX tech. So expect rocket-style add-ons, probably thrusters for “emergency lane changes” and a button that says “Ludicrous+ → Actually Ludicrous”

Imagine the launch event: Elon: “This is the last car you’ll ever need to steer.” Crowd: nervous laughter Elon: “Unless you buy two. One for nostalgia, one for when you want to feel something again.”

Meanwhile the current Roadster owners: “Bro I bought mine for the thrusters promise in 2017… still waiting… Now they’re just making the NEXT one the real one. Classic.”

So here we are: The Tesla Roadster 2.0 isn’t just a car. It’s a $250,000+ midlife crisis wrapped in carbon fiber, SpaceX dreams, and a eulogy for manual driving.
