Tesla's 'flying car' Roadster stuns in demo: How high can it fly & what will it cost?

Tesla's long-delayed next-generation Roadster has taken centre stage after a demonstration featuring mid-air manoeuvres, rocket-style thrusters and a landing on its wheels, raising questions about whether flying cars could become a reality. Unveiled by Elon Musk's electric vehicle company at an event in Texas on October 15, the redesigned sports car was developed in collaboration with SpaceX, Musk's rocket company. Tesla says production is expected to begin in 2028, nearly a decade after the vehicle was first revealed.The demonstration showed the two-seater Roadster driving upside down along a ramp with the help of a suction system before lifting off, rotating in mid-air and landing. It also performed a manoeuvre in which it jumped over other Tesla vehicles.
