Tesla's next-generation Roadster is a high-performance electric sports car equipped with SpaceX-derived cold-gas thrusters, powered fans, and active aerodynamics that generate massive downforce even at zero speed. The vehicle demonstrated 0-60 mph in 0.81 seconds, kickflips, jumps, and short aerial maneuvers during its unveiling. Future versions are planned to perform autonomous stunts and fly over landmarks.
Tesla’s Roadster is an electric sports car presented on Tesla’s product page in Performance, Thrust, and Rocket configurations. Tesla describes active aerodynamics and a multi-mode suction system intended to generate downforce. The page also describes cold-gas thrusters for the Rocket configuration and says that configuration is not approved for public-road use. Tesla’s site presents the car as available by reservation and describes the Thrust and Rocket configurations as optional upgrades or limited offerings.
