On October 15, 2026, at a @SpaceX rocket test site in McGregor, Texas, @Tesla's next-generation Roadster drove up a curved wall until it hung upside down, let go, flipped over in midair and hovered on jets of air for a few seconds before landing. Later that night, it flew over a whole row of parked cars. Tesla first unveiled this car on November 16, 2017. That night @elonmusk promised zero to sixty in 1.9 seconds, a top speed over 250 mph, 620 miles of range and four seats, and said he expected it to be available in 2020. Tesla's website listed a $200,000 base price and a $50,000 reservation. The dates kept sliding. In January 2021 he hoped to start production in 2022. That September he said it should ship in 2023, assuming 2022 wasn't "mega drama." In May 2023 he said production would hopefully start in 2024, adding that it was not a commitment. In February 2024 he said he hoped to start deliveries in 2025. In November 2025 the unveiling was set for April 1, 2026, with production 12 to 18 months later. At the October 15 unveiling, he said production would start in 2028. Archived copies of Tesla's U.S. page kept showing 1.9 seconds and 620 miles from 2017 through March 2025. How it sticks to the wall: fans under the car pull the air out from underneath, so the atmosphere presses the car down. Tesla says the suction reaches up to 2 g's. An engineer on stage said tires alone usually handle about 1.26 times the car's weight sideways, and with the fans cornering can go above two. On those two numbers alone, the same corner could be taken roughly a quarter faster. Unlike a wing, a fan works at zero speed. How it flies: two carbon-fiber-wrapped tanks hold about 550 pounds of compressed air, feeding ten nozzles. The cold-gas thrusters burn nothing, and Tesla says the car can refill its own tanks. Three versions. Performance, road-ready, two seats, zero to sixty in under 1.6 seconds. Thrust, track version with rear thrusters, under 0.9 seconds. Rocket, one seat, thrusters all around, under 0.59 seconds, invite-only. Tesla's site notes the Rocket is not approved for public road use. Checked against the 2017 list: quicker, but under one second needs thrusters. Range now listed as more than 300 miles. Top speed over 230 mph, listed for the Rocket only. Two seats, or one. No price announced. Production in 2028 instead of deliveries in 2020. The base reservation is still $50,000: $5,000 up front and $45,000 within ten days. Reuters and TechCrunch reported that the Thrust reservation is $250,000.
