Tesla’s new Roadster lifts off the ground, but it’s still far from roads

Tesla has shown a new demonstration of the Roadster, the electric sports car announced years ago and still without a firm launch date. The prototype was presented with the promise of technology capable of lifting the car off the ground.

For readers, however, this remains mostly a headline-grabbing show: the model keeps making news, but it is not expected to reach production anytime soon. After repeated delays, the Roadster remains one of Tesla’s most anticipated and most controversial projects.
