Tesla took almost nine years to show it, and it was worth the wait.
On October 15, 2026, at a SpaceX test site near Waco, Texas, Elon Musk presented the new Roadster. Using a combination of high-powered fans and thrusters developed with SpaceX, the car drove up an inverted ramp, spun around in midair, and landed gently on the pavement. According to TechCrunch, it also used its thrusters to jump over a Cybertruck, a Tesla Semi, a Model Y, and a Model 3.
Musk presented it as a “flying” car, but there’s a catch: what we saw was a brief maneuver, not sustained flight like that of an airplane. Tesla promised this new generation in 2017, with deliveries by 2020. Now it says production will begin in 2028, and reservations start at 50.000 dollars. Revolution or pure spectacle?V
