Tesla just made a Roadster that sticks to the ceiling, fires rocket thrusters, and flies. Full event, every demo, dead air cut 🚀
• Live at SpaceX McGregor: fan suction strong enough to hold it upside down, plus SpaceX-derived cold-gas thrusters (Tesla says 4–5x tire force)
• 0–60: Tesla lists <1.6s (Performance), <0.9s (Thrust), <0.59s (Rocket). On stage, a live run clocked 0.81s
• Tesla lists 300+ mi range and 230+ mph top speed (Rocket). Elon wants to "crack halfway to the speed of sound"
• Two carbon-overwrap air tanks, ~600 L and ~250 kg of air, 10 nozzles, and it refills itself. No special propellant
• Rocket version "can fly" (invite only, per Tesla). Elon: the last manually driven car Tesla will make
• Production in 2028 was mentioned on stage (unconfirmed). Tesla hasn't announced price or delivery dates
