Tesla unveils flying roadster in viral stunt debut

Tesla unveiled its new roadster on Thursday evening in a viral debut event that saw the vehicle perform a series of stunts to showcase its ability to effectively fly.

The roadster features thrusters that allow the vehicle to go airborne or stabilize from a fall. The event saw the vehicle perform stunts such as the classic kickflip over other vehicles.

In another clip, the vehicle showcased a suction feature that allowed it to effectively remain upside down.

"Turns out the future does have flying cars," Tesla founder Elon Musk said on social media, quipping about the common trope of fictional portrayals of future technological developments.
