A Flying Rocket Tesla: Why Elon Musk's Latest Announcement is a Genius Marketing Stunt
The new car can already be reserved for $250,000 and is set to go into production in 2028. But its owners will still get stuck in traffic jams in the future.
Elon Musk has unveiled a new Tesla car that can fly short distances, performing aerial stunts such as jumping over parked cars and doing a sideways roll in mid-air. The car, which has no wings but uses small jet engines to blast compressed air onto the ground, is expected to go into production in 2028 and can be reserved for $250,000.
However, Tesla's website notes that flying the car on public roads is not permitted and it may not be available for purchase in all markets. The car's technology was developed in collaboration with Musk's space company SpaceX.
