A Tesla Flying Car? I Don’t Know, Man

Tesla demonstrated a next-generation Roadster capable of flying, flipping, and driving upside down using built-in SpaceX cold-gas thrusters. During a 2026 unveiling at a Texas facility, the vehicle flew over parked cars and landed safely after turning in midair. The car reportedly reaches 60 MPH in under a second. While some observers describe it as a flying car, others remain skeptical of the claims. Production is targeted for 2028, though Tesla has not guaranteed delivery dates.
