Defying Gravity and Soaring Up... "Tesla Has Gone Mad," the World is in Shock

Five vehicles are lined up, and another car flies past them.

This scene, straight out of a science fiction movie, is a demonstration of Tesla's new flying sports car, the Roadster, which Tesla has been teasing since last year.

On the 15th local time, Tesla unveiled the two-seater Roadster equipped with cold gas thrusters at SpaceX's test facility in McGregor, Texas.

Ahead of the demonstration, Musk joked, "Success is not guaranteed, but fun is 100% guaranteed," but the demonstration was executed flawlessly without a single mistake or failure.

In another demonstration, the Roadster navigated a circular track soaring into the sky, similar to a roller coaster, showcasing a scene where the vehicle used thrusters to stably land on the ground while completely upside down.

Musk explained, "Because it has a high-suction system capable of hanging the car upside down in the air, it can corner while clinging strongly to the ground as if defying the laws of physics," adding, "Tesla and SpaceX engineers worked closely together to create something you've never seen in any movie, something better than a James Bond car."

Musk further stated, "In the long run, this car will be the only manually driven vehicle that Tesla makes," and added, "Mass production will begin in 2028."

Netizens who encountered the video responded with comments such as, "I can't believe what I just saw," and "To think this isn't AI, Musk is a genius."
