Tesla rolled out the next-generation Roadster already hanging upside down. A fan system under the car pinned it to an inverted ramp with a suction rig, then released it to flip through the air and land on its own compressed-gas thrusters.
The demonstration happened Wednesday night at a SpaceX test site near Waco, Texas, after a canceled October 1 attempt and nearly a decade of delays. It revived reservations, with deposits structured in stages and a stated 2028 production target.
