A video of the event<\/a> shows the Roadster, which he said was controlled remotely \u201cto make sure we don\u2019t kill anyone\u201d, driving up a curved ramp using suction to grip upside down, before using thrusters to flip, fly and land<\/a>.<\/p>\n Later in the demonstration the Roadster is seen using the jets to leap over a line of Tesla\u2019s existing models<\/a> and then accelerate to 60mph in record time.<\/p>\n \u201cTurns out the future does have flying cars,\u201d Musk said in a post on his social media site, X, accompanying a video from the event.<\/p>\n Speaking at the event on Thursday, Musk said: \u201cFlying cars are real. It\u2019s got altitude controls, thrusters and main thrusters in the rear. So it can basically fly like a rocket, it can do rolls, crazy gymnastics.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m not sure it\u2019s necessarily legal in all jurisdictions,\u201d Musk said, adding that the prototype was \u201cnot necessarily a safety optimised car but it takes the fun meter to 11\u201d.<\/p>\n In 2014 Musk expressed his scepticism about a future with flying vehicles<\/a>.<\/p>\n However, three years later he announced the development of the Roadster 2, which will go into production in 2028 and priced in excess of $200,000, (\u00a3150,000), to create an electric sports car \u201cto give a hardcore smackdown to gasoline cars\u201d.<\/p>\n
