Fri, 16 Oct 2026 Watch: Did Tesla really just unveil a flying car?

Tesla CEO Elon Musk showcased the vehicle at a facility owned by his SpaceX company, which helped develop the model.
The car can drive up a steep ramp, spin in the air using its thrusters, and land using air jets. However, experts point out several reasons why a flying car like this is unlikely to be seen on roads anytime soon. These include regulatory hurdles, safety concerns, and technical challenges. Musk demonstrated the car's capabilities by showing it hovering and turning in mid-air before landing safely. He said an audience was needed to prove that the car is not controlled by artificial intelligence. The new Roadster features electric motors and advanced computer systems, making it a highly sophisticated vehicle. The unveiling has sparked debate about the feasibility of flying cars becoming a reality. While some see it as a revolutionary concept, others are skeptical due to the numerous challenges involved in developing such technology.
