Tesla Roadster briefly flies, drives upside down, hits 60 mph in under a second

Tesla demonstrated its next-generation Roadster today in Waco, Texas, showing the car briefly flying, driving upside down, and hitting 60 mph in under a second, according to The Verge. The display advances Elon Musk’s long-teased vision of a flying-capable EV and raises immediate questions about safety, regulation, and practicality. If independently verified and productized, the feats would mark a step change in performance expectations for high-end electric supercars.

Tesla did not disclose pricing, availability, a production timeline, or final specifications during the event, The Verge reports. The Verge also notes the Roadster was first unveiled in 2017 and has faced repeated delays, heightening scrutiny of any new promises from Tesla. Watch for official specs, regulatory guidance, and a delivery roadmap from Tesla in the coming days. [Developing. This article will be updated.]
