If the hovering doesn’t work out, the Roadster could still have rear thrusters that would make it “move like a bat out of hell” on the road, Musk said. He claimed Tesla will offer a “SpaceX option package,” apparently named for Musk’s rocket company, that will equip the car with a highly pressurized fuel vessel and “a bunch of thrusters.” The Roadster would be able to move through the air while floating above the ground if Musk’s hovering experiments are successful, he said. Tesla has been working on an updated version of the Roadster, which they hope to start shipping in 2022. The Silicon Valley company expects to finish engineering the model this year and hopes to start shipping it in 2022, according to Musk. Tesla has been working on an updated version of the Roadster - the company’s first mass-market electric car - for several years. “If you plummet, you blow out the suspension but you’re not gonna die.” “I thought like maybe we could make it hover but, like, not too high, so like maybe it can hover like a meter above the ground or something like that,” he added. “I’m trying to figure out how to make this thing hover without, you know, killing people,” Musk said on an episode of Joe Rogan’s podcast released Thursday. The billionaire electric-car tycoon said he’s working on tricking out the forthcoming Tesla Roadster with rocket technology so it can hover above the ground. ‘Verified’ Twitter chaos: Stephen King, William Shatner keep blue checks as Pope, Kim Kardashian lose theirsĤ9ers player rips ‘little b-h’ Elon Musk after losing checkmark on TwitterĮlon Musk wants Tesla’s new sports car to make 007 proud.
