☝️ Tesla can fly—I’ve already thought of countless applications! The new Roadster will enter mass production in 2028, equipped with SpaceX cold-gas thrusters that can briefly lift the vehicle off the ground. I’ve already envisioned multiple use cases: 1️⃣ Thruster-assisted acceleration/braking: Braking distance no longer limited by tire friction. 2️⃣ Super cornering: Upward thrust presses the car onto the road, doubling grip—no need for massive rear wings to generate downforce. 3️⃣ Sidestep maneuver: When sensors detect an unavoidable collision, a single lateral thruster burst shifts the car half a parking space—or hops over low obstacles. 4️⃣ Off-road recovery: Briefly hover to escape sand or mud, and leap across gaps of one or two meters. 5️⃣ Military mobility: Clear barriers during pursuit, or make short jumps through urban alleyways. It’s already amazing on Earth—but I feel this car wasn’t designed just for driving on Earth 🤔 In low-gravity, airless environments, wheeled vehicles with cold-gas thrusters become the most practical solution for obstacle navigation. The Roadster seems more like a terrestrial technology demonstrator. As a Tesla owner: Now I get why the interior was left as a bare shell—it’s so the thrusters don’t burn out the cabin 😆 @elonmusk
