October 19, 2026 ~ Jamie Butters joins Kevin to discuss what Tesla’s Flying Roadster could mean for the global auto industry.
AUSTIN, Texas ~ The future looked a little closer this week as Tesla unveiled a new version of its long-awaited Tesla Roadster, with CEO Elon Musk demonstrating technology that briefly lifted the vehicle off the ground during a presentation in Texas. While the company’s claims have generated excitement among technology and automotive enthusiasts, the vehicle remains years away from possible production.
For many consumers, the reveal offered a glimpse of what transportation could look like in the future rather than something arriving in driveways anytime soon. Tesla says production is targeted for 2028, although questions remain about safety, regulations and whether the vehicle’s flight capabilities will ultimately reach the consumer market.
