Tesla Roadster Flying Demo: Mass Production Not Expected Until 2028
On October 15, Tesla showcased the second-generation Roadster in Texas, using cold-gas propulsion derived from SpaceX and a chassis suction system to complete short airborne hops, mid-air steering, and driving upside down. The vehicle is equipped with roughly a 600-liter pressure vessel, 10 nozzles, up to about 2g of suction downforce, and a range target of about 480 km. Mass production is expected by 2028; analysts expect annual sales of about 2,000 units, and the demonstrated technology is still some distance from everyday mass production.
