00:00Elon Musk just did something that sounds like pure science fiction.
00:03In Texas, Tesla unveiled a car that can actually fly.
00:08And once you see it, you will never look at a roadster the same way again.
00:12Picture this.
00:13A sleek silver sports car rolls onto a desert runway.
00:17The crowd thinks it is just another reveal.
00:20Then, with a deep hiss of cold gas thrusters, the car lifts off the ground and hovers in
00:25mid-air.
00:26This is the new Tesla Roadster, and Musk says it is the fastest car ever built.
00:31So how does a car fly?
00:33The Roadster uses a set of SpaceX-inspired cold gas thrusters, the same technology used to
00:38steer spacecraft in orbit.
00:40Compressed gas fires from nozzles hidden around the body, lifting the front end, boosting acceleration,
00:45and even letting the car rotate in the air.
00:48This is not magic.
00:50It is rocket science, borrowed from the company that lands boosters on drone ships.
00:55Then came the stunts.
00:57The Roadster drove upside down along a curved ramp, defying gravity.
01:01It launched off a jump and flipped a full kickflip in mid-air, landing perfectly on its wheels.
01:06It even soared over an entire row of parked Tesla vehicles.
01:10Every move looked like a scene from a video game, except it happened in real life.
01:14Now, the numbers.
01:17Musk claims 0-60 mph in under 1 second.
01:21Under 1 second, quicker than a Formula 1 car.
01:25Top speed is over 250 mph.
01:28And with the optional thruster package, the car can supposedly hover above the road, dodge
01:33potholes, and even fly short distances.
01:36But here is the catch.
01:38You cannot buy one yet.
01:40Musk says production will not begin until 2028, and even then, the price is eye-watering.
01:46Reservations require a deposit of $50,000, and the limited rocket edition costs a quarter
01:51of a million dollars.
01:53Only a handful will ever be made.
01:55The reaction was instant.
01:58Within hours, clips of the flying roadster flooded social media, racking up millions of
02:02views.
02:03Supporters called it the future of transportation, while skeptics called it the most expensive
02:08publicity stunt ever filmed.
02:10So is this real, or just another Elon Musk promise?
02:14Critics point out that Tesla has missed deadlines before.
02:17The Cybertruck arrived late, the semi is still delayed, and full self-driving has been
02:22one year away for a decade.
02:24Some experts say the thrusters are mostly a stunt, designed to grab headlines rather than
02:28change how we drive.
02:30But supporters see something much bigger.
02:33Every part of this demonstration, the inverted driving, the mid-air flip, the jump, borrows
02:37technology from SpaceX.
02:39Musk is not just selling a car.
02:42He is merging his two companies into one vision of the future, where the road and the sky become
02:47the same place.
02:48Either way, one thing is certain.
02:51Whether it flies in 2028 or never leaves the runway, this reveal has already done its job.
02:56It got the entire world talking about a car that almost nobody will ever touch.
03:01So here is my question for you.
03:04Would you actually trust a car with SpaceX thrusters, or does it sound like a disaster waiting to
03:08happen?
