🛸 Flying first class

October 17, 2026

Some people want heated seats. Some want a car that can backflip.

Tesla showed off its new Roadster, nine years after its first tease. The two-seater uses 10 high-pressure air jets to launch itself over parked cars and land on command. It even clung upside down to a ramp using suction like a vehicular Spider-Man, then blasted from 0 to 60 mph in under a second. 

Production in 2028. Reservations start at $50,000, or $250,000 for the thruster-equipped version. That’s just the deposit. An invite-only Rocket version promises full flight. The actual price for all versions is still up in the air.

Watch it go here. Where do I sign the very irresponsible waiting list? It so reminds me of playing Hot Wheels with my son.
