Elon Musk retweeted FutureJurvetson's firsthand account of the new Tesla Roadster demo: thrusters plus tire-grip suction deliver a 0-60 mph time of just 0.8 seconds, top speed reaches Mach 0.5, and the car literally flies — photos show it mid-air off a giant curved ramp. Described as "beyond insane, beyond plaid."
