ELON MUSK WANTS THE TESLA $TSLA ROADSTER TO JUMP THE SNAKE RIVER CANYON
The same jump Evel Knievel tried in 1974
During the Roadster demo at SpaceX's test site in McGregor, Texas, they floated one more idea for the car. Musk said they'd need a running start.
The Roadster can already go over 230 mph, and he thinks they can get it much faster. To clear the canyon, he says it will need to crack half the speed of sound, which is roughly 380 mph.
"Where we're going, you don't need tires."
He called it the best flying car and the last best driver's car. When he was asked when customers get one, he said production starts in 2028. "For real."
