January 1, Elon Musk Unveils Flying Tesla Roadster — But Don’t Expect to See One Soon

Wyatt’s Take

• Tesla just showed off a Roadster that can actually lift off the ground using cold gas thrusters.
• The problem is the same one working Americans face with every new tech promise — it’s years away and priced far beyond reach.
• Detroit and Middle America still make cars you can buy today without waiting for Hollywood-style stunts.

Tesla’s new Roadster is getting attention because it can lift itself off the ground and spin in the air using cold gas thrusters built into the car.

Company officials say the car will not reach regular buyers until 2028 at the earliest.

The latest version is being shown off as a high-performance electric sports car that can do more than just drive fast.

The thrusters give the vehicle the ability to jump and rotate, but those features are still in the demonstration stage.

Production timelines for the car have already slipped several times since the project was first announced.

Even when the Roadster does reach the market, the starting price is expected to be well over $200,000.

That puts the vehicle out of reach for most working families who need reliable transportation now, not in four years.

Wyatt Matters

Real American families need dependable cars they can afford today, not flashy prototypes that may never hit the road. Hard-working folks in the heartland still count on Detroit-built trucks and practical vehicles that show up on time and at a price that makes sense.
