Tesla unveiled the new Roadster, an electric sports car promising 0-100 km/h in under one second and flight capabilities using SpaceX-developed thrusters, with production slated for 2028. The prototype features ten compressed air outlets enabling jumps and hovering, plus a suction system to improve stability at high speeds. Three configurations exist: Performance, limited Thrust, and invitation-only Rocket with one seat. Tesla hasn't released full specs or final pricing. The original Roadster launched in 2008, and the new project was announced in 2017 at $200,000, with deliveries repeatedly delayed from 2020.
