Tesla unveils the Roadster 2, a sports car it says can fly
At an event on Thursday at a SpaceX site in Texas, the car jumped into the air and spun mid-flight. Tesla says it uses cold-gas thrusters and a suction system, with technology borrowed from SpaceX.
The flying version of the Roadster can be driven on public roads.

False.
Tesla's website says the top "Rocket" package is not approved for public road use. It is offered by invitation only.
And us?
Performance
$7,000 + $63,000
Thrust
$7,000 + $343,000
Canadians can already reserve the car: a $7,000 deposit, then $63,000 within 10 days for the base package, or $343,000 for the Thrust package.
What's next
Production is to start in 2028, and the final price has not been disclosed. The first prototype was shown in 2017, when Tesla said deliveries would begin in 2020.
