On October 19, the flight demonstration of Tesla’s latest sports car, the Roadster, captured widespread attention. The Wall Street Journal published an article noting that Musk’s new vision for the Roadster is not primarily centered on its cold gas rocket thrusters but rather on responding to competitive pressure from Chinese automakers. While the sports car features a sleek and futuristic design, its mass production is not set to begin until 2028, and it remains uncertain whether its flying capabilities will be approved for road use under current regulations. The market, therefore, is more focused on Tesla’s core business growth and profitability than on a single headline-grabbing product.
