Tesla Unveils Next-Generation Roadster Featuring SpaceX Thrusters and Flight Demo
Tesla unveiled its next-generation Roadster at a SpaceX facility in Texas, showcasing a prototype equipped with SpaceX-developed cold-gas thrusters that enable brief airborne maneuvers, including driving upside down, flipping mid-air, and jumping over vehicles. The electric sports car promises exceptional performance, with acceleration from 0 to 60 mph in under one second and a top speed exceeding 230 mph. Tesla plans to begin production in 2028, offering three variants—Performance, Thrust, and Rocket—with the latter featuring full flight capabilities. While the demonstration highlights innovative technology, questions remain about regulatory approval and practical use.
