On the 15th of this month (local time), after a staggering nine-year delay, Tesla finally pulled back the curtain on its second-generation Roadster sports car. The most striking feature of this vehicle? Its seemingly gravity-defying ability to 'fly'. During the demonstration, the Roadster defied expectations by climbing upside down along a circular track, reaching an astonishing height of approximately 21 meters. It then detached from the track and began a free fall. But that's when the magic happened: the cold gas thrusters, strategically placed on the vehicle's body, sprang into action. They decelerated the car using jet propulsion, ultimately ensuring a smooth and controlled landing.
