From Roadster in a rocket To rocket in a Roadster

Do a kickflip!

Real life, baby

Roadster is a true pilot's car: active aerodynamics, a multi-mode suction system & cold-gas thrusters Exterior – Concealed headlights, full-length taillight & flush-mounted surfaces for a minimalist, highly technical form – Super light wheels w/ thin spokes that reinforce structural strength when earthbound – Ano White paint brings an aerospace-derived finish w/ UV & cryogenic protection, electrostatic dissipation & corrosion resistance – Gold Glazed tinted glass mimicking the copper coating of spacesuit visors, w/ subtle titanium accents

Interior – Ultrawhite interior w/ gray microsuede detailing & seat bolsters for added grip – Manual controls & a fixed seat position reduce overall vehicle mass – Lightweight, high-strength materials throughout, including magnesium, titanium & carbon fiber help reduce it further This allows Roadster to respond to driver inputs almost instantly

Beyond the limits of physics – Multi-mode fan & ground sealing system pulls air from beneath the vehicle, generating enough suction to hold it upside down while stationary – Powered fans & active wings maximize traction and cornering speeds in all conditions, achieving massive downforce at zero speed – Advanced cold-gas thrusters w/ all-electric actuators make micro adjustments within a fraction of a second to stabilize the vehicle in flight

Roadster The last best driver's car

Configurations – Performance: road ready, seats 2 Active aerodynamics & multi-mode suction system for next-level performance on & off the track – Thrust: race ready, seats 2 Multi-mode suction system paired w/ rear-mounted cold-gas thrusters that enable 0–60 in <1 second – Rocket: air ready, seats 1 Multi-mode suction system plus perimeter-mounted cold-gas thrusters supporting forward & upward acceleration plus lateral rotational movement. So...yes, it can fly Range >300 miles Top speed up to >230mph (Rocket) 0-60 Performance (<1.6) Thrust (<0.9) Rocket (<0.59) Reserve now –

Roadster transforms in Track Mode These aero features aren't just for looks: they provide the best passive downforce package of any road car (approaching F1 levels!) with wing actuation driven by the @Tesla_Optimus actuator system

SpaceX has used thrusters to position spacecraft for decades. Making them work in a vehicle instead of a vacuum took all-new hardware & controls. Every usable void in the car is packed with Carbon Fiber Overwrapped Pressure Vessels (COPVs) More compressed gas on board = more flight time

Every car on the road today is limited by one thing: tire grip Roadster's thruster system generates 4–5x the force the tires can. More force on the same mass means significantly better acceleration – physics does the rest

Our design language has evolved since the last reveal: from S3XY to Cybertruck, Cybercab &amp; Optimus Roadster is inspired by the SR-71 &amp; F-35

Roadster and a rocket have shared a ride before

In 2008, Roadster had one job: prove that an electric car could be fast, sexy &amp; worth wanting Today, Roadster presents a new moment in history – the best of the last human-driven cars

Roadster

RT @elonmusk: New Roadster is beyond movies, beyond imagination, beyond human, yet still made by humans on Earth

RT @aelluswamy: Yeah, it's a peek into the future of how robots are going to seamlessly integrate into everyday life.

The Tesla Model 3 with FSD is mind-blowing. Jessica and I drove to the gym without touching the controls once. It backed out of our driveway, drove there, and backed into a parking space. It's amazing that you can buy so much future for $40k.
