Ukrainians mock Musk's flying Tesla with memes about Bohdan minibuses and drones

obozrevatel.com (Ukrainian) —

Elon Musk's Tesla unveiled the second-generation Roadster, a vehicle equipped with SpaceX rocket thrusters capable of brief flight maneuvers, after nearly a decade of development. The presentation took place at a test site in McGregor, Texas. The two-seater can accelerate from zero to 60 mph in under one second and will be offered in three versions: Performance, Thrust, and Rocket. While fans expressed admiration online, CNBC reports the Roadster is unlikely to have a significant financial impact on the company. Ukrainian social media users responded with humor, joking about how the vehicle would fare amid wartime realities like shelling and traffic jams. They also quipped about "Bohdan" minibuses benefiting from SpaceX engines and compared the car's capabilities to Ukrainian drones.
