After nearly a decade of development, Tesla showed off the Roadster this week in a stunt-heavy show that made a strong case for starting an IRL Rocket League. Originally promised as the flying car of the future, the electric supercar did just that in controlled conditions, as Tesla showed off the Roadster’s ability to defy gravity and pull off some impressive stunts.
One of the Roadster’s incredible feats is its ability to drive up a ramp and cling upside down to the surface. Using its thrusters and a SpaceX fan-based suction system to stay upside down, the Roadster’s cold-gas thrusters helped bring it back down to Earth after that demonstration.
