This time, he&#8217;s saying the Roadster will be able to fly. Yes, you read that right \u2013 fly. But should we believe him?<\/p>\n<p>The second-generation Tesla Roadster has been a topic of conversation since it was first teased back in 2014. It wasn&#8217;t until 2017 that we saw a prototype, with promises of production starting in 2020. However, year after year, the Roadster&#8217;s release has been delayed, turning it into something of a running joke among car enthusiasts. Musk has continued to promise that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.emanualonline.com\/blog\/tag\/roadster\/\">Roadster<\/a> will hit the market, with the latest prediction being 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, Musk hinted an updated version of the Roadster, involving SpaceX, would be revealed. This created a buzz, with many speculating about the potential for the car to have some form of aerial capability. Musk even suggested the new Roadster could include a &#8216;SpaceX package&#8217; with cold air thrusters, which could theoretically allow the car to &#8220;fly&#8221; short distances or hover.<\/p>\n<p>In a recent post on X, Musk stated simply, &#8220;The new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.emanualonline.com\/cars\/tesla.htm\">Tesla<\/a> Roadster can fly.&#8221; However, he didn&#8217;t provide any further details about how high, how long, or even when the car will be available. This isn&#8217;t the first time Musk has made such a claim, but given the history of delays and the ambitious nature of his statements, it&#8217;s hard to take it at face value.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet tw-align-center\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">The new Tesla Roadster can fly<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Elon Musk (@elonmusk) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/elonmusk\/status\/1801980372823187707?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 15, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The idea of a flying car is certainly intriguing, but it&#8217;s important to note that this isn&#8217;t the first time Musk has made grand promises about Tesla&#8217;s vehicles that have yet to materialize. For example, he previously claimed that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.emanualonline.com\/blog\/tag\/cybertruck\/\">Cybertruck<\/a> could serve as a boat to traverse short distances of water, a feature that has not yet been demonstrated.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the skepticism, there&#8217;s no denying the Roadster&#8217;s specs are impressive, though. Musk has said it will be the quickest car in the world, capable of accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in under a second. This incredible acceleration, however, might be the least interesting feature if the Roadster can indeed hover or fly.<\/p>\n<p>Musk has also mentioned that the new Roadster will include advanced technology, such as steer-by-wire and possibly a modified steering yoke, similar to what is found in the Cybertruck. These features, combined with the potential aerial capabilities, could make the Roadster a truly groundbreaking vehicle \u2013 if it ever reaches production.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-70125 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.emanualonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/tesla-roadster-1.jpg\" alt=\"Tesla Roadster\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.emanualonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/tesla-roadster-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.emanualonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/tesla-roadster-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.emanualonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/tesla-roadster-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.emanualonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/tesla-roadster-1-768x432.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1200px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1200\/675;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The ongoing delays and Musk&#8217;s track record of overpromising and underdelivering have led to a fair amount of skepticism. Many are taking a &#8220;wait and see&#8221; approach, unsure if the flying Roadster will ever become a reality. Meanwhile, those who placed early reservations for the Roadster are still waiting, some having shelled out significant deposits years ago.<\/p>\n<p>As exciting as the idea of a flying car is, it&#8217;s clear that Tesla still has a lot to prove. The Roadster could indeed revolutionize the automotive industry, but until we see it in action, it&#8217;s hard to say whether Musk&#8217;s latest claims will come true. For now, we&#8217;ll just have to wait and see if the Roadster will soar into the future or remain grounded in reality.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/electrek.co\/2024\/06\/15\/elon-musk-tesla-always-coming-next-year-roadster-can-fly\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Source<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Off a cliff, maybe?
