Tesla
- Tesla’s next-generation Roadster was announced in 2017 and has faced multiple delays.
- Elon Musk recently said in March, Musk said Tesla is collaborating with SpaceX to produce the Roadster. He also said the vehicle would include “rocket technology” and didn’t rule out its ability to “fly” short distances, although he didn’t answer questions on whether it would include the feature directly.
“The only way to do something that’s cooler than the Cybertruck is to combine SpaceX and Tesla technology to create something that’s not even really a car,” Musk said in the interview.
Musk has made bold statements before about what upcoming vehicles will be capable of — not all of which have panned out. He once said the Cybertruck would be able to float and operate as a boat for short periods of time. It launched with the ability to wade through water up to 30 inches.
On the Wednesday earnings call, Musk said the Roadster is “really going to be something spectacular.”
He said his “good friend” Peter Thiel had lamented a lack of flying cars.
“Well, we’ll see,” Musk said. “More to come.”
