Tesla’s new Roadster did a midair flip over five Teslas.
Tesla unveiled the new Roadster on the evening of October 15 at SpaceX’s McGregor test site in Texas. Driving itself, the car jumped over a Model 3, Model Y, Cybertruck, Cybercab and Semi and did a full rotation in midair, powered by SpaceX cold-gas thrusters.
Tesla says the top Rocket version has 10 thrusters and will be sold by invitation only. Musk says production starts in 2028, and no price has been announced.
