TESLA $TSLA JUST UNVEILED ITS SECOND-GEN ROADSTER WITH A FULLY NEW DESIGN
At the event in McGregor, Texas, the car drove upside down on a massive ramp using suction fans, then flipped off it and did a mid-air barrel roll to land right-side up.
Musk, right before the demo:
"By the way, success is not guaranteed. It'll probably work."
It worked. The car then hopped over a lineup of Teslas with another barrel roll.
His take: "So it can basically fly like a rocket."
The specs, per Tesla:
0-60 mph measured as low as 0.81 seconds, top speed over 230 mph.
