Tesla ‘flying’ Roadster demo could come this month, with no one inside
Electrek • 8/14/2026
Summary
Tesla is planning to demonstrate its new Roadster as early as this month, featuring a stunt where the car lifts off the ground. The car will be operated remotely with no one inside, and spectators will be kept several hundred yards back due to the loud noise from the SpaceX-developed cold gas thrusters, which could damage their eardrums.
