Elon Musk Reveals Plan To Launch "Unforgettable" Flying Car Before Year-End

Elon Musk aims to demonstrate a Tesla Roadster prototype with advanced 'crazy technology' that may include flying capabilities, promising an unforgettable demo by year-end.

  • Elon Musk told Joe Rogan `We're getting close to demonstrating the prototype` and said the demo will be `unforgettable`, `Hopefully before the end of the year`.
  • Since the 2017 unveiling, the second-generation Tesla Roadster targeted 2020 production but faced repeated delays, with Musk setting a new shipping aim for 2025 amid battery development hires.
  • Technical details include a Tesla patent filing on active aerodynamic fans that could reverse airflow to hover, and Musk likened the prototype's extreme tech to exceeding James Bond cars.
  • Next week, on November 6, shareholders vote on a Tesla board pay package worth up to $1 trillion amid OpenAI CEO Sam Altman's refund dispute over a $50,000 Roadster deposit.
  • Regulatory and logistical limits mean many VTOL projects act like aircraft rather than road cars, and U.S. aircraft rules, air traffic coordination, plus Joby Aviation complicate mass deployment.
