Like Elon Musk or hate him, his companies are doing some incredible things.

The linked video below is the introduction of the new Tesla Roadster. Given all the things they will tell you and SHOW you about the car, notice what they don’t tell you… They do not say is is an EV. We all assume that because it is a Tesla but the presenters see no need to actually tell you (unless, of course, I missed it!), I don’t know if we NEED this… but some buyers will WANT this!

That’s amazing. It’ll never be register from road driving as currently configured. If those thrusters always produce fog they will obscure the vision of following drivers. If they disable the thrusters for normal driving it could be registered. Still, using the thrusters and the proximity system would be a fun way to park. Oh, and it’s not a roadster, it’s a coupe. (Picky, picky).

Finally, a car that will fly over the Snake River. Evel Knievel will be smiling on that day.

Agree, but they called the original a roadster and it wasn’t either. At least they are consistent!
