Elon Musk claims that Tesla’s always ‘coming next year’ Roadster can fly

Elon Musk is once again making headlines, claiming that Tesla's next-generation Roadster will be able to fly.

This bold statement has sparked curiosity and skepticism alike.

The prototype for the next-gen Tesla Roadster was first unveiled in 2017,

with production initially slated for 2020.

However, delays have pushed its release year after year,

turning it into a running joke.

Earlier this year, Musk revived hope by announcing an updated version of the Roadster,

acknowledging that the design is now seven years old.

He promised that the vehicle would finally come to market in 2025.

Musk's latest claim is that the new Tesla Roadster can fly.

This isn't entirely new; he had previously mentioned a 'SpaceX package' featuring cold air thrusters.

These thrusters could theoretically make the vehicle jump or hover for short distances.

Public reaction has been mixed.

One commenter noted, "Delays were understandable when Tesla was a struggling startup. Now that it's a global behemoth, there's no reason to delay development."

Will the Roadster finally take off, literally and figuratively?

Only time will tell if Musk's ambitious claims will become reality.
