A recent post on X (formerly Twitter) by Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk says that the Tesla Roadster will have flying capability.
If this claim is true, then the Roadster is bound to have a remarkable trajectory. Elon Musk did not share any further details to support his claim but this has caught the attention of industry watchers.
It has to be stated that Elon Musk has a notorious record of making claims that later turned out to be inaccurate. It is however likely that the upcoming Tesla Roadmaster will be very fast. Musk has previously claimed that the Roadmaster will be able to fly.
It has been an unending wait for the release of the Tesla Roadster after it was first unveiled. The car was announced seven years ago during Tesla’s Semi and Roadster event. The Roadster is the brand’s top vehicle which has been on the yet-to-be-released list since 2020. It was meant to be the successor to the 2008 Roadster which was based on the Elise platform. The Roadster signposted Tesla’s entry into the electric vehicle market.
The Roadster was originally specified as having an acceleration capability of going from 0 to 62mph (100km/h) in 1.9 seconds. This acceleration was impressive at the time but currently, this is not the case. There are several Tesla and Lucid vehicles with a better speed performance than 0-62mph in under 2 seconds. Additionally, supercars in the same category as the Roadster can achieve such performance in 1.7 seconds.
In 2021, Elon Musk claimed that the Tesla Roadster could achieve 0-62mph in 1.1 seconds. It will be aided by a SpaceX option package that will include up to 10 small rocket thrusters arranged around the car. The feature was announced in 2018 and it was the first time that Musk claimed the Roadster was able to fly.
If things go as planned, the Roadster is expected to be released this year and will enter production in 2025. The initial starting price of the Roadster was $200,000 but its current price has not been provided by Tesla.
