Tesla's second-gen Roadster set for October 10 debut with 'flying car' hints

Tesla has announced that its second-generation Roadster will finally debut on October 10, nearly a decade after its initial prototype reveal. The electric hypercar is expected to feature advanced capabilities, including a potential "flying car" mode with cold-gas thrusters, a feature hinted at by the company's website. The Roadster was initially promised with impressive performance metrics like a sub-two-second 0-60 mph time and over 600 miles of range, with early reservation holders including notable figures like Sam Altman and Marques Brownlee.
