Tesla Roadster, Elon Musk's flying car between technology and promise PHOTO and VIDEO

The second generation of the Tesla Roadster, initially announced in 2017 with a promised release by 2020, has faced multiple delays and is now expected to launch no earlier than 2028. During a demonstration at SpaceX’s testing facility in Texas, the vehicle showcased advanced capabilities such as lifting off the ground, performing aerial maneuvers, and landing on its wheels using a system of cold-gas microthrusters developed in collaboration with SpaceX. The car was shown accelerating from 0 to 96 km/h in just 0.81 seconds, though these claims remain unverified. While Tesla has provided some performance metrics, including a claimed range exceeding 480 kilometers and a top speed surpassing 370 km/h, critical details like battery capacity, number of electric motors, and weight have not been disclosed. The production timeline and final pricing remain unclear, raising questions about whether the demonstrated technology will translate into a commercially viable product.
