“Requested what I think is an important design change to the front, and extra time allows us to show off a few other things,” Musk said on his X social media platform in a reply to a user post discussing the event.
Shares of Tesla were up nearly 5% in afternoon trading.
Bloomberg News reported last week that the event, originally set to be held on Aug. 8, had been delayed to October.
Musk had announced the August unveiling day after Reuters reported on April 5 that Tesla had canceled its long-promised inexpensive car and would continue developing self-driving robotaxis on the same small-vehicle platform.
