Torque News's video: Elon Musk Wants The New Tesla Roadster To Hover and Fly

Elon Musk gave a glimpse of the Tesla Roadster's future saying he wants the new Tesla Roadster to be able to hover. This means flying Tesla Roadster. Well, without hurting its drivers, passengers and other cars nearby. Elon Musk said he wanted the next Roadster to be able to hover "like, a meter" off the ground. He is thinking of a spectacular feature for the new Tesla Roadster. The roadster should actually hover, or float on the air, about a meter off the ground! That's what Musk said on the podcast with Joe Rogan, which can be accessed via Spotify. Musk absolutely wants the car to float if desired. His team just needs to figure out how to do this without harming people. He is currently playing with the idea of ​​limiting the flight altitude to a maximum of around 1.80 meters so that a possible crash does not lead to serious injuries. In such a fall, according to Musk, the shock absorbers would be thrown out of the sails, but nobody would be killed. And Musk wouldn't be Musk if he didn't have a little joke as a reference: The hovering should work without the Tesla Roadster injuring people. In other words: the technology should really be safe for traffic. Musk had commented on the technical implementation on Twitter some time ago. According to this, the nozzles should expel highly compressed air and allow the roadster to float in the air. On January 28, replying to a tweet, Musk gave another update about the timeline of the new Roadster. He wrote, "Finishing engineering this year, production starts next year. Aiming to have release candidate design drivable late summer. Tri-motor drive system & advanced battery work were important precursors." This means the new Tesla Roadster is postponed again and will not begin until 2022. This is Armen Hareyan from Torque News.
