The Tesla Roadster 2 Is Here—and It Flies

This story is from the archive. It was covered between 16 October 2026 and 16 October 2026, and nothing below has been updated since. See what is happening now.

The automaker unveiled its next luxury sports car at an event in Texas. It has thrusters on it that can send it airborne.

What the coverage shows

All five outlets focus on Tesla’s long-delayed Roadster reveal and its SpaceX connection, with each noting some form of flight or airborne capability. TechCrunch is the most vivid on the demo, saying the car used thrusters to leap over several Tesla models, while Wired and CNN emphasize the vehicle flying or “hopping” in Texas. Bloomberg and CNBC foreground the merger angle and the delay, and only CNN mentions Tesla’s stated 2028 production timing in its extract.
