Tesla's new Roadster can briefly fly using jet thrusters — is it a genuine breakthrough or just a stunt?
Elon Musk unveiled a next-generation Tesla Roadster at a SpaceX facility in Texas on Thursday, using air-jet thrusters to briefly lift the car off the ground during a livestreamed event.
Mostly a stunt, and a pretty good one. It's certainly generating hype for the launch. It'll never be street legal, but it was fun to watch. For all the criticism Musk gets, I do like that he shakes things up.
