Florida governer assures Tesla’s flying Roadster will be ‘legal,’ while Elon Musk says ‘safety is not the main goal’

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has weighed in on Tesla’s bizarre new Roadster, which Elon Musk says will feature flying capabilities. While questions remain about whether the vehicle can legally take to public roads, DeSantis has suggested Florida could be a place where owners can put its unusual features to use, as per BroBible.

According to TechCrunch, Tesla unveiled the new Roadster during a presentation near Waco, Texas, showing off a version equipped with thrusters beneath the car. The demonstration highlighted its purported ability to lift off the ground. “This will be the actual car that’s on the roads,” Musk said. “It literally is just going to puff itself up, and, uh, and be able to do these maneuvers whenever you’d like.”
