Elon Musk's Tesla Roadster

... yeah, some influencers, like racing, like top racers or whatever have them or something.

Um, then Rocket.

Seats only one, adds thrusters around the perimeter of the car for upward and rotational movement, 0 to 60 in under .59 seconds.

That's a really interesting way to phrase that.

Another demo showing the car kickflipping over five other vehicles and promising 0 to 60 in under one second.

Elon Musk acknowledging the new Tesla Roadster is not ready to hit the road just yet.

Success is not guaranteed.

Musk said production will begin in 2028.

I think physically it's certainly possible.

I think that this vehicle is probably not for a mass market.

Ben Riviere is an aerospace engineer and says the Roadster's moves come with some serious limitations.

You're not going to fly around New York with this kind of vehicle, basically.

But as we were growing up, DC, he was famous for what? The flying car.

The flying cars, and I have to bring that up because I could not believe what I saw on Friday- [laughs] ... with Elon Musk- Yeah ... and his Roadster 2 vehicle.

Uh-huh.

It flies.

Okay.

But- Yeah ...

if you're, if you are a little excited- Uh-huh ... you can plunk down $5,000 right now and get your reservation for a Roadster 2 flying car.

All right.

Yeah, I needed my flying car to fly over it.

[laughs] That's flying Roadster.

So I go, "Well, I'm gonna at least go to TJ Silly because it's got me going over to Tyson's."

[laughs]

But first, let's start with the trivia question for the week.

So speaking of Tesla, when was the Tesla Roadster that was announced in twenty seventeen originally supposed to start production? So when was the Tesla Roadster that was announced in twenty seventeen originally supposed to start production? And that is your trivia question for the week.

Now, a little bit of a hint on that one, uh, in case you've been living under a rock, production for it has still not yet started.

So, um, if that's any bit of a hint for you.

I think it happened last night as of the day I'm recording this.

So Elon pulled off one heck of a stunt this week.

So Tesla announced the Roadster again and had a live demo with it.

Now this one, this demo was significantly more interesting than their demo that they had in 2017 when they originally announced the, the launch of the second generation Roadster.

This is the script, this is the code that's being just written out and, uh, spoken about in real time, like during a quick recording of a podcast to try to bring it full circle.

And it also is just kind of corresponds to and aligns with the essence of the unveiling of the flying car, which corresponds to the Roadster, which corresponds to the Roadster, which has to do with, uh, Elon Musk and Tesla, and it's actually a flying car.

And in essence, it also is crazy, crazy fast, but the mechanics and dynamics also have so much suction underneath it that it can fly, uh, and just sit upside down because the gravity underneath it makes it so it can actually sit upside down.

The car can sit upside down, parked upside down because it has a suction cup underneath it, which is wild and dynamic and crazy.

No, it's not.

It actually went down after the Roadster came out.

Really? Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Well, talk about why coming up next.

[laughs] Aaron has not seen the newly released videos of the, the Tulsa, uh, uh, Tesla, I'm sorry, Tesla, uh, Roadster.

I, I have not because I love Elon Musk.

Mm-hmm.

The James Show Podcast

Did you see the Tesla demonstration on a new prototype for a Roadster that happened yesterday? There was a track that looked like your Hot Wheels track when you were growing up, and it made a C.

[child screaming] What the heck? So it made a C, and this car drove up until it was vertical, or it was perpendicular with the ground.

It, it wa- to, to the back of the C, and it wasn't sliding down.
