Flying Cars? Elon Musk's Tesla demonstrated the redesigned Roadster at SpaceX’s testing facility in McGregor, Texas, showcasing technology developed with SpaceX that allows the electric sports car to perform short aerial maneuvers using high-pressure thrusters. During the demonstration, the Roadster launched up an inverted ramp, traveled upside down and returned to the pavement. Tesla also demonstrated the vehicle lifting itself through the air over a lineup of Tesla vehicles, including the Cybertruck, Semi, Cybercab, Model Y and Model 3. The technology isn’t intended to turn the Roadster into an airplane capable of sustained flight. Instead, the system allows the car to briefly leave the ground and perform extreme maneuvers using SpaceX-inspired propulsion technology.
