Musk: A new generation of flying Roadster sports car will be launched in 2020

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has made many surprising statements about the new generation of the Roadster sports car. Now, Musk has even claimed that the sports car will be able to fly in the air. When the new generation of the Roadster sports car was first announced, Musk revealed a series of impressive specifications, including acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just 1.9 seconds and a range of 620 miles (998 km). Musk has repeatedly stated that these specifications are just "basic specifications" and that other versions will have even more "crazy" specifications.

Musk later said Tesla would offer a "SpaceX package" that included cold air thrusters. Musk said these thrusters, which are equivalent to small rocket engines, would "dramatically improve the car's performance in terms of acceleration, top speed, braking and cornering," but he also said it "might even make a Tesla fly."

Now, responding to a GIF on Twitter of a flying car flying through the air, Musk said the "new Roadster will have similar capabilities."

Initially, people thought Musk's talk of launching a "SpaceX package" for the Roadster was just a joke, but it turns out he really wants Tesla to launch such a product.

Although it sounds like a joke, Musk has announced some crazy products on Twitter that turned out to be real, and he rarely jokes about the features of Tesla vehicles.

Musk confirmed in a tweet that it was no joke.

Tesla plans to launch a new generation of flying Roadster sports car on the market in 2020, making it the fastest and fastest commercially available car on the market, and a pure electric car.

The new generation Roadster sports car has started pre-sale, with a base model priced at $200,000 with a deposit of $50,000 and a Founders series priced at $250,000.
