Tesla is taking $250,000 deposits for a Roadster with SpaceX thrusters. The FAA says it isn’t an aircraft

Tesla’s long-awaited Roadster drove upside down along a curved ramp, launched into the air, rolled 180 degrees using bursts of compressed air and landed on its wheels during a livestreamed demonstration Thursday at SpaceX’s rocket test facility in McGregor, Texas, near Waco. Moments later, it used its thrusters to leap over a lineup of Tesla vehicles , including a Cybertruck and a Tesla Semi. “Turns out the future does have flying cars,” CEO Elon Musk wrote on X afterward. When Tesla first unveiled its second-generation Roadster in November 2017 , flying wasn’t part of the pitch.
