Elon Musk Is Building Flying Cars. And Here's The Irony Of It

The top acceleration of the upcoming Roadster's rocket thruster option will be 0-60mph (or 96.5km/hr) in 1.1 seconds, Elon Musk confirmed

Elon Musk took to Twitter on Friday to say that the upcoming Tesla Roadster will be able to fly, albeit very briefly. His tweet only confirms what the Tesla chief has been hinting at for years - the possibility of flying cars becoming a reality very soon. In 2019, he had shared a GIF of a levitating car and said, "The new Roadster will actually do something like this." It was followed by a tweet where Mr Musk explained that Tesla would use SpaceX technology and add new thrusters to the Roadster, giving it the ability to fly.  This will actually be able to fly very briefly. I always laughed at flying cars & now making one. Fate ???? irony haha. Yes, with the SpaceX rocket thruster option package. It will be safe, but very intense. Probably not wise for those with a medical condition – same as a hardcore roller coaster. This time, Mr Musk responded to a video of the fiery red Roadster prototype and wrote: "This will actually be able to fly very briefly." The irony of it, Mr Musk added, is that he "always laughed at flying cars" and was now making one himself.
