Flying Roadster

An incredible demonstration of the new Tesla Roadster’s experimental rocket-assisted technology. This electric sports car used high-pressure gas thrusters to launch itself into the air, rotate sideways in a skateboard-style kickflip, clear a row of five Tesla vehicles, and land back on its wheels.

The demonstration offers a fascinating glimpse of how future vehicles might use advanced propulsion and computer-controlled stability systems to perform maneuvers that conventional automobiles cannot, even if such capabilities remain impractical for everyday transportation.
