““It can basically fly like a rocket,” Musk said at the presentation.”
“15), Tesla showed off an early version of its Roadster 2, the long-awaited second generation of the automaker’s 2011 sports car.”
“Access to the flying car, meanwhile, will solely be invite only.”
“It’s also, unsurprisingly, the only version of the Roadster 2 you can’t reserve.”
“Search “Elon Musk” now and you’re more likely to get a whole bunch of stuff about a “flying car” than anything tied to Alex Gibney’s damning new four-hour documentary, Musk , which hit theaters last week.”
“The thrusters again helped the car descend and drive away.”

“Tesla has a history of fudging demonstrations, whether it was allegedly remote-controlling its supposedly autonomous Optimus robots in 2024, or exaggerating the abilities of Tesla’s self-driving technology in a 2016 video.”
“Another stunt showed the thrusters (supplied by Musk’s rocket company, SpaceX) lifting the car from a normal driving position and flinging it over a bunch of lined up automobiles.”
“Per Car and Driver , Musk boasted that the Roadster 2 would be able to go from zero to 60 miles-per-hour in less than a second; reach top speeds of over 230 mph (but with a goal of cracking half the speed of sound at 383 mph); and was built with a fan system underneath the car that can allegedly help suction it to the ground at low speeds for better traction.”
