Resolves YES if, on October 1, 2026 Tesla officially states that the new Roadster can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in less than 1 second.
A statement during Tesla's presentation or on its official website or social media counts. Tweets from Tesla's official X account also count. Elon Musk's statements during the official Tesla presentation, as well as tweets from his official X account, also count.
An announced specification is sufficient; an actual demonstration or independent verification is not required. Optional packages, including thrusters, count.
Exactly 1.0 seconds does not count. Neither does a statement merely expressing a goal or ambition to achieve this performance.
Resolves NO if no qualifying announcement occurs on that date, including if the event is postponed or cancelled.
Clarifications
The intent of this market is whether Tesla officially announces a 0-60 mph time strictly below 1.0 second. Any special conditions or modifications count, including a specially prepared road surface, optional equipment, thrusters, rollout subtraction, or any other performance-enhancing setup. An official statement that the car can achieve this time is sufficient for YES; an actual demonstration is not required.
While the time zone of Tesla's headquarters would be a natural choice for October 1, 2026, this market allows any time zone on Earth. A qualifying announcement counts if it is October 1, 2026 anywhere on Earth at the time of the announcement. This gives Tesla a slightly wider window.
This market will resolve YES shortly after the conditions are met.
If no qualifying announcement occurs, this market will resolve NO on October 2, 2026
