Here’s Exactly How Tesla Made Its New 230-Mph Car ‘Fly’

Tesla demonstrated its Roadster 2 prototype performing stunts at a SpaceX facility in Texas, including driving upside down on a ramp and landing with help from thrusters. The display showcased unusual engineering ideas, though the car remains a prototype and the article describes Tesla’s claims rather than independently verified performance.

Tesla says the two-seat, rear-wheel-drive car has two motors producing more than 1,341 horsepower and a weight below 1,700 kilograms. Four 20-kilowatt fans and retractable skirts create suction to increase grip, while a pressurised nitrogen system supplies cold-gas thrusters. Tesla claims a range above 300 miles and charging from 15 to 80 per cent in 10 minutes.
