Elon Musk confirms that the Tesla Roadster will be able to perform incredible stunts autonomously, simply by asking it to.
Tesla is also planning to build an insane looping track at its Texas HQ, even crazier than Hot Wheels, where owners can put their Roadsters to the test.
@Scobleizer True.
You will be able to ask the Roadster to perform any of the tricks shown autonomously, as it will be sentient.
Also, we will have a wild looping track (crazier even than Hot Wheels) at our Texas HQ where you can test out your Roadster.

Back in 2018, Elon Musk said the new Tesla Roadster was getting a SpaceX option package with ~10 rocket thrusters
He even said:
“Maybe they will even allow a Tesla to fly…”
At the time, it sounded completely insane
8 years later, Tesla actually built it and demonstrated the Roadster flying through the air
2018: Crazy idea
2026: Real engineering marvel
Elon, thank you for inspiring millions of people around the world to dream bigger and believe that the impossible is possible.
I’ve watched you do what people said couldn’t be done, time and time again. And somehow, after everything you’ve done, it still blows my mind that people continue to bet against you.
Watching the Tesla Roadster unveil in person reminded me why I believed in you and your companies in the first place.
You’re the GOAT.
Optimus was so smart it knew I needed THREE sets of earplugs to prepare for the new Tesla Roadster’s rocket thrusters and insanely loud suction system.
I do wonder if Tesla will figure out a way to make the thrusters and suction system quieter over time, bc that thing is super LOUD.
Imagine me casually going 0–60 in my Roadster or flying upside down through my neighborhood for whatever reason… I’d probably wake up the entire neighborhood.
Tesla is building cars that look like they came straight from the future
Just imagine what the next 10 years will look like…..the future we used to dream about in science fiction is actually becoming reality
When @Starlink helped rescuers find four miners trapped for three freezing nights in the Andes.
Four men were rescued in Catamarca, Argentina, roughly 4,500 metres above sea level. Heavy snow had almost buried their vehicle.
Local mining union leader Gustavo Molina credited Starlink communications with helping locate them. He said finding the workers without that connection would have been almost impossible in the near-zero visibility.
Firefighters also described using Starlink to guide their vehicles through the snowstorm during the rescue operation.
All four survived and were taken to hospital with hypothermia. They were reported stable afterward.
Starlink helped provide a vital connection when lives were at risk.
This life-saving technology should be available in every part of the world.
