Tesla says its newly unveiled Roadster 2 vehicle ‘can fly’
Tesla just unveiled its latest vehicle, the Roadster 2, which it says will be available with performance options that will allow it to 'fly.'
Tesla has unveiled its newest vehicle, the Roadster 2, which the company claims can perform "flying" feats such as jumping over obstacles, driving vertically, and even upside down off a ramp. The Roadster 2 is the latest sports car from Tesla, developed in collaboration with SpaceX CEO Elon Musk's rocket company. It comes with performance options, including a "Rocket" package that utilizes built-in fans and thrusters to defy gravity for a brief period.
However, these capabilities are not intended for legal use on public roads. The Roadster 2 is set to start production in 2028, with reservations now available online for CA$7,000 plus additional costs for each package. The company has not disclosed the estimated sale price, though it previously quoted US$200,000. The Roadster 2 is Tesla's new halo car, designed to showcase the company's engineering and technology.
