Elon Musk said on Twitter on Friday that the upcoming Tesla Roadster would be able to fly, albeit in a much shorter time. His tweet only confirms what Tesla has been hinting at for major years - flying cars will likely become a reality very soon. In 2019, he shared a GIF of a levitating car and said, "The new Roadster will actually do something similar."
This was followed by a tweet in which Mr. Musk explained that Tesla would use SpaceX technology and add new thrusters to the Roadster, giving it the ability to fly.
This time, Mr. Musk responded to a video of the raging Red Roadster prototype and wrote: "It will indeed be able to fly very briefly."
Musk said that ironically, he "always used to laugh at flying cars" and was now making himself.
In a separate tweet, Elon Musk unequivocally confirmed that the top acceleration of the upcoming Roadster's rocket thruster option would be 0-60mph (or 96.5 km / h) in 1.1 seconds.
When a Twitter user asked him, is it true that the new roadster would be able to do this?
At 1.1 seconds, running at 0-60 mph, Elon Musk responded that it was right for the SpaceX rocket thruster option package.
Tesla and the CEO of SpaceX tweeted, "Yes, with the SpaceX rocket thruster option package. It will be safe, but very intense." "Probably not wise for people with a medical condition - similar to a hardcore roller coaster," he said
According to Electrack, a prototype of the next generation Tesla Roadster is currently on display at the Peterson Automotive Museum in Los Angeles. Originally unveiled in 2017, it is expected to enter the market in 2022.
