Tesla unveiled its next-generation Roadster at the Space X test site in McGregor, Texas, performing dramatic stunts including driving upside-down on a ramp using a suction system and jumping off with attitude-control thrusters. The vehicle uses cold-gas thrusters borrowed from Space X technology, enabling micro adjustments within a fraction of a second. Production is planned for 2028.
Reservations require $5,000 upfront, with $45,000 due within 10 days for the base model. The Thrust package, including the suction system and acceleration thrusters, costs an additional $245,000 within 10 days of reservation. The full "Rocket" version with complete flight system is invite-only.
