Tesla Roadster Rocket Is the Cool 'Flying' Car You Can't Have

Tesla demonstrated a new Roadster on October 15 that used cold-gas thrusters developed with SpaceX to flip in midair and land on its wheels, achieving 0-60 mph in under a second. Reservations are $50,000 for the Performance model and $250,000 for the Thrust model, with the single-seat Rocket invite-only; production begins in 2028. Tesla's website states the flying version is not approved for public road use, and no FAA or road-safety approval has been reported.
