Tesla shows Roadster prototype using SpaceX thrusters and suction for stunts

Tesla unveiled an updated, production-intent second-generation Roadster at a Texas event, demonstrating it driving up a ramp and holding vertically on a wall via underbody suction fans, then flipping upside down and performing a barrel roll using SpaceX-derived cold gas thrusters. Engineering VP Lars Moravy said the suction system can generate up to 2Gs, and the car also hopped over a row of parked Tesla vehicles during the demo.
