Tesla's reveal of the second-generation Roadster is under way, held at SpaceX's rocket test facility in McGregor, Texas, after a two-week delay caused by weather.

The event centers on the follow-up to Tesla's original sports car, which made its debut 20 years ago. Elon Musk announced that the company was building a second-generation Roadster nine years ago. Since then, the Roadster 2.0 concept has been tied to other milestones, including the launch of a "Starman" mannequin into space.

Musk has said the evening will feature "some crazy stuff," though Tesla has not detailed what the new Roadster will offer beyond what has previously been shown.

Tonight's presentation is being watched as the point at which the second-generation car may finally be shown, following a long gap between the original announcement and a public unveiling.

The story is still developing, and further details from the event are expected to emerge as the presentation continues.
