The Tesla Flying Roadster
This new car is quite the impressive feat of engineering, he actually did it. Watch the first video below to see the Unveil video, it's only 16 minutes but well worth the watch.
Tesla Unveils 'Flying' Roadster with SpaceX Thrusters
Explained by the man who engineered it
"You’ve probably seen by now, that the new Tesla Roadster can fly. And flip. And drive upside down. But how does it do all that? Henry Catchpole met up with Lars Moravy, VP for Vehicle Engineering at Tesla, to talk through all the details of the long awaited new car and see how Optimus and SpaceX helped."
Clips are all over today, what an awesome announcement. This is interesting!!

They are not available for most, the down payment for the cheap one that doesn't fly is $50,000 and the super version that doesn't fly either is $250,000 down payment. The version that can jump, flip and drive upsidedown is invite-only. But this is so cool!
Do I want one! Heck yeah!
This is spectacularly awesome, even just to exist. This is the prototype for the kind of car you want to take the Moon or Mars. Being able to thrust in low gravity to get around is imperative. No moon-buggy, imagine rocketing across the surface of Mars in this!
The Mars edition will probably need some creative flight solutions, as there are no roads, but it's something to stir our imaginations and help us to dream of a better future.
Very inspiring. Elon did it again! 🥳😵💫
That down payment alone is enough to keep me grounded. Rockeing across Mars in one sounds wild though, especially since you would definitely need those thrusters without any roads.
