The short version

What happened

Tesla demonstrated its next-generation Roadster at an event in Waco, Texas, according to The Verge. The car drove upside down, briefly flew, and accelerated to 60 mph in under a second. BBC News reports that the event was held at a SpaceX facility.

Why it might matter

The demo is a company showing, not a shipping product. Buyers and regulators will need delivery dates and performance data before the claims can be tested.

What we don’t know yet

The source does not give a price, delivery date, or independent test results. The Verge says the car will likely come with some caveats.
