HAWTHORNE, CALIF.—At tonight’s Tesla Semi event we got a lot more than a vague truck design. After a short presentation of the Semi’s intended specs, one of the trucks backed onto the stage and a new red Roadster rolled out.

“The foundation of the whole company was the Roadster,” Musk told the crowd of employees. “People kept asking ‘When are you gonna make a new roadster?'”

“We are making it now” he told the crowd.
