GoKawiilTesla unveils Roadster variant with thrusters and claimed sub-0.6s 0-60 time
Tesla showed off a next-generation Roadster lineup, including a single-seat 'Rocket' configuration fitted with perimeter thrusters that Tesla says allow it to lift off the ground and maneuver in the air. At a demonstration near Waco, Texas, the car climbed a ramp, flipped upside down, launched off and hovered over a lineup of other Tesla vehicles. Elon Musk called it a Tesla-SpaceX collaboration, while Tesla has said the Rocket is not approved for public road use and will be offered by invitation only.
