A new version of Tesla's Roadster electric sports car, equipped with thrusters which apparently allow it to hover and turn in mid-air, has been unveiled in Texas.

What happened

The outlets' own sentences, most widely reported first. Hover one for who reported it.

The Roadster can accelerate from 0kmh to 96.5kmh in less than one second and can hit a top speed of over 370kmh, Musk said at a SpaceX test site in McGregor, Texas.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has downplayed the importance of the Roadster to the company’s finances, saying in 2023 that it’s a “small potato situation” that wouldn’t “move the needle in a major way financially.”
