Tesla Roadster unveiled in Waco with rocket thrusters, but flying over traffic remains unavailable

Elon Musk unveiled his new Tesla Roadster in Waco, Texas, featuring a cold-gas thruster system that allows the car to jump and perform aerial stunts, though it cannot yet fly over traffic. The vehicle demonstrated its capabilities by climbing a curved ramp, flipping mid-air, and leaping over five cars while maintaining its standard shape without deploying wings or rotors. The "Rocket" variant, which enables flight, is only available by invitation. Flying remains unauthorized for public roads and may not be available in all regions, meaning traffic jams cannot be bypassed yet. Musk expressed optimism about combining expertise from the world's best car and rocket manufacturers.
