The full Tesla Roadster unveiling breakdown: developed with SpaceX, the car uses a fan suction system (up to 2G downforce) and rocket thrusters, and performed a standing mid-air somersault on stage. It hit 0-60mph in 0.81 seconds in a live demo, with the production version promised to be even quicker, a top speed target above 380mph, and delivery planned for 2028. Details include a variable-pitch rear wing and rechargeable ultra-high-pressure air tanks.
