Tesla Roadster: A Car That Can Fly, Thanks to SpaceX Thrusters
Tesla's Roadster page reveals a three-tier lineup: a base model, a Thrust trim with cold-gas thrusters for sub-1-second 0-60 mph, and a Rocket trim that can fly. The car features a multi-mode suction system that holds it upside down, active aero, and a steer-by-wire yoke. The Rocket trim is invite-only and not street legal.
Our multi-mode fan and ground sealing system acts as a downforce generator, pulling air out from beneath the vehicle. This provides enough suction to hold the vehicle upside down, even when stationary.
