Tesla’s long-delayed Roadster is back in the spotlight after a dramatic demonstration featuring SpaceX-developed thrusters and airborne maneuvers at a test facility in Texas. Elon Musk says production will begin in 2028, but the project arrives after nearly a decade of delays and includes performance claims that have yet to be independently verified. With Tesla under pressure to restore excitement around its brand, is the Roadster a realistic future product or an engineering showcase? We ask car market analyst Karl Brauer.

US President Donald Trump has blocked several new sanctions against Russia even as a law targeting Moscow came into effect, raising questions over Washington’s strategy toward the Kremlin. In an executive order, Trump said withholding some sanctions was in the United States’ “national interest”, invoking his presidential authority to restrict their implementation. The move followed his signing of the sanctions legislation in September and came amid controversy over a proposed Russian diesel deal intended to help lower US energy prices ahead of the midterm elections. The plan triggered bipartisan criticism, with lawmakers questioning whether Trump’s approach could weaken pressure on Russian President Vladimir Putin. The Graham law authorises tariffs of up to 100% on countries buying Russian oil and gas, including major importers such as China and India.
