Relive Tesla's ridiculous(ly fun) Roadster stunt show

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.

Tesla's Roadster event was pretty exciting, to say the least.

What the coverage shows

All of the outlets focus on Tesla’s Roadster reveal and its claimed flying capability, usually at the Texas SpaceX site and with some mention of SpaceX technology or thrusters. TechCrunch, ABC News, The Guardian US, Bloomberg, and The Verge give the stunt detail most prominently, while CNN and BBC add more caution or framing around the claim. CNBC is the only outlet here that foregrounds the car’s long-delayed history and merger speculation rather than the flight demo itself.
