Elon Musk's Tesla Reignites Roadster Hype With New Trademark Filings - Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA)

Tesla submitted trademark applications for two new Roadster logos to protect branding ahead of its April 1 demo, with logos not yet used on vehicles, experts say.

  • On Feb 3, Tesla Inc. filed two trademark applications with the United States Patent and Trademark Office for a stylized Roadster wordmark and a triangle design.
  • Tesla is only a few months from its planned April 1, 2026 demo, while trademark attorney Josh Gerben noted early filings lock nationwide priority, despite mid-to-late 2027 production forecasts.
  • Both filings state the triangle design of three flowing, curved lines forms a vehicle silhouette while the ROADSTER wordmark uses a futuristic, all-caps style, and both are intent-to-use filings.
  • TSLA slid 2.17% to $397.21 at Thursday's close and fell to $388.90 in after-hours trading; a Tesla spokesperson did not respond, and observers caution filings are not proof of imminent launch.
  • The Roadster has a long history of delays since its 2017 unveiling, with production repeatedly pushed across 2020–2025 and beyond, while Elon Musk has hyped flying and hovering features and said safety is not the main goal.
