Tesla Shows Roadster 2 Jumping and Flipping Using Suction and Rocket Thrusters
At a SpaceX facility in McGregor, Texas, Tesla staged a driverless demonstration of its long-delayed Roadster 2, launching the car into a jump, flip and landing cushioned by onboard thrusters. Vehicle engineering chief Lars Moravy told Hagerty the car uses rear-wheel drive, two motors producing over a megawatt of power and 1,400 Nm of torque, more than Tesla's three-motor Plaid models.
