Is Tesla’s Flying Car Safe? Musk Says It’s “Not Necessarily a Safety-Optimized Car

Elon Musk showed off a flying Tesla Roadster at SpaceX’s McGregor test site in Texas on Thursday. “Turns out the future does have flying cars,” the Tesla CEO posted on X afterward. Yet the flight system comes only with the invite-only Rocket version. Even the non-flying Thrust model requires $250,000 upfront before Tesla names a price. What Can the Flying Tesla Roadster Actually Do? During Tesla’s livestream , a fan suction system held the car upside down. Thrusters borrowed from SpaceX then flipped it through the air before it landed. Two tanks hold about 250 kilograms of air for 10 nozzles, Tesla’s team said. Musk added that the car refills those tanks itself, so it needs no special propellant. Moreover, Musk said the car can exceed 230 mph.
