The Tesla Supercar That Could Fly (Sort Of)
The Tesla Supercar That Could Fly (Sort Of)
Elon Musk once joked his Roadster would “fly short distances” with SpaceX thrusters. Now, patents suggest he wasn’t kidding. A hybrid supercar with cold-gas jets could lift off for seconds—think James Bond, but electric. It’s bonkers, even for Musk.
Engineers say it’s less about flight and more about cornering at impossible speeds, using bursts to defy physics. Still, Musk’s teased a demo where it “hovers” over a track. Safety regulators are sweating, but Tesla’s already filed for exemptions.
X is wild with reactions: “A flying car? Musk’s lost it!” vs. “He’s a genius!” Whether it soars or crashes, this supercar proves Musk’s imagination has no ceiling.
