Where people stand
A sample of the public voices behind the data.
@MarioNawfalTurns out the future really does have flying cars. The new Tesla Roadster just proved it.
Driving upside down, flipping in mid-air and jumping over other Teslas. All thanks to some seriousl
@MyLordBebo🇺🇸🇪🇺 The new Tesla roadster has thrusters for fun.
Elon: “It brings the fun to 11 out of 10”
How quickly will the EU ban this car … 2 seconds? 🤣🤣😭😭 https://t.co/iobWcidugT
@MotherJonesIn true Musk fashion, the flying Tesla Roadster may just be a giant publicity stunt—like the time in 2016 he claimed he would send humans to Mars by 2024. https://t.co/xi7qKiWMDe
@TeslaconomicsSometimes you have to build cool things without obsessing over how much $ money they’ll make.
The original Roadster was about survival… Tesla had to prove electric cars could be fast and se
@splinter_newsElon Musk unveiled a gargantuanly stupid flying Tesla Roadster, which you will quite obviously never get to actually pilot. Story: https://t.co/yyu9Dy0X6f #ElonMusk #Tesla #flyingcars #Roads

@thedygestTesla unveiled a Roadster that “flies” using SpaceX thrusters it drove upside down on a ramp and hopped over a line of parked Teslas.
“Flying car” is generous. It hovers and jumps. Also it

@1kunalbahlWhat did I just see?!? 🤯🤯🤯
Absolutely unreal. The new roadster from Tesla - it flies!
Yes, I agree, now it makes sense to merge Tesla and SpaceX 😅
@elonmusk 👌🏼👌🏼
@XFreezeTonight Tesla just raised the bar to a level no car has touched. The new Roadster: 0-60 mph in 0.81 seconds
It works by SpaceX cold-gas thrusters in the rear. Then it flipped, landed, and d
@SPCX100TTesla Roadster 2 just did something no production car has done before.
On October 15 at SpaceX’s McGregor rocket test site, the new Roadster drove straight up a vertical wall, hung upside d
@RL9631Flying cars are REAL.
Massive respect ✌️to @elonmusk for the relentless vision that keeps turning sci-fi into reality, and to the entire Tesla + SpaceX engineering teams for their insane ded
@MariosKaratzias💥WILD.
The rocket 🚀 car is a fact ! The future is here !
Rocket science of SpaceX and top engineering by Tesla combined created an amazing car
Just watched the Tesla Roadster event highl
@LiamEvergreenTesla just demoed the new Roadster with thrusters that let it do short hops and flips.
It’s a real demonstration, not AI.
Production is targeted for 2028, but this is not a practical flying 
@realMAG1775Tesla Roadster just flew. Midair flips. SpaceX thrusters. Wall Street calls it an “engineering flex.” Production 2028. Nine years of delays and the regime still mocks American builders while
@hackernoonTesla’s upside-down Roadster is a striking statement of ambition. Here is what I want next: useful flying vehicles, credible range, and proven safety.
