A car driving upside down, leaving its ramp and righting itself: Tesla unveiled a spectacular new version of its Roadster on October 15th in Texas. Cold gas propulsion, underbody suction, and active aerodynamics are just some of the technologies behind these images. It remains to be seen what will actually be possible.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It looked like a scene from Batman or Iron Man: a car climbing vertically, its wheels pointing skyward, then launching itself into the air before landing back on its wheels. On October 15th in Texas, Elon Musk gave the unveiling of his new Roadster the feel of a blockbuster.<\/p>\n

At SpaceX's McGregor test site in Texas, Tesla demonstrated a prototype climbing a curved structure, driving upside down, then using its thrusters to rotate and right itself. The automaker also claimed a 0-60 mph (approximately 97 km\/h) acceleration time of 0.8 seconds during the presentation. These figures represent the demonstration organized by Tesla, not the results of an independent test presented here. Source: Car and Driver<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The sequence is impressive. To understand its significance, however, three things must be distinguished: holding onto an inverted surface, propelling oneself into the air, and presenting a usable automobile to a customer. These three challenges require neither the same technologies nor the same proof.<\/p>\n\n\n
