Elon Musk Unveils Flying Tesla Roadster in Collaboration with SpaceX

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has unveiled the long-awaited next-generation Tesla Roadster in a dramatic demonstration that looked straight out of a sci-fi movie.

During the event in Texas, the electric sports car drove up a curved ramp, moved upside down, launched into the air, flipped mid-air and landed safely using built-in thrusters. The car later demonstrated another stunt by jumping over multiple vehicles.

Developed in collaboration with SpaceX engineers, the Roadster features a suction system and rocket-inspired thrusters designed to perform these extraordinary manoeuvres.

Tesla claims the car can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in less than one second, reach speeds above 230 mph and offer a driving range of over 300 miles on a single charge.

After years of delays, Tesla now expects production to begin in 2028. However, the real-world practicality and road legality of its flying capabilities remain uncertain.

Key Highlights:

  • Collaboration: Tesla and SpaceX
  • Acceleration: 0–60 mph in under one second, according to Tesla
  • Top Speed: Over 230 mph
  • Expected Production: 2028
