Orders open for SpaceX-powered Tesla Roadster that can fly or suck itself to the ground
Published Updated
In a spectacular reveal event last night, Elon Musk revealed the long-awaited Tesla Roadster and, as he promised, it uses SpaceX technology in the form of cold-air thrusters to allow it perform, frankly, ridiculous manoeuvres, including actual flight. It can also suck itself to the ground for stability and cornering speeds, while hitting 100km/h from rest in about one second. Apparently it goes into production in 2028. "Actually," said Musk at the unveiling. You can go on the Tesla Ireland website now and place a reservation deposit for one of three different versions.
