Tesla's Next-Gen Roadster Debuts with Vertical Climbs and Sub-Second Acceleration
Tesla unveiled its next-generation Roadster at a Waco, Texas event, demonstrating its ability to drive upside down, fly using SpaceX-derived cold-gas thrusters, and accelerate to 60 mph in 0.81 seconds. The vehicle, which has been in development for nearly a decade, features three configurations ranging from performance to rocket-powered variants, with reservations requiring deposits up to $250,000. Production is targeted for 2028, though no specific pricing or release dates were confirmed during the stunt-focused reveal.
