Tesla unveils Roadster prototype that jumps using SpaceX-style thrusters, targets 2028 launch
Tesla showed off a new Roadster prototype at a SpaceX test site in McGregor, Texas, demonstrating compressed-air thrusters that let the car leap off the ground. Elon Musk's company says the vehicle is slated for release in 2028, continuing a pattern of repeatedly pushed-back launch dates for the car first teased in 2017.
