What makes this moment even more remarkable is the history behind it. Musk first unveiled the second-generation Roadster back in 2017. After nearly nine years of anticipation, delays, and ambitious promises, the project has reached a spectacular new milestone.
But there’s an important distinction: briefly lifting a car into the air is not the same as creating a practical flying car. The Roadster is not yet approved for everyday airborne travel, and production is currently targeted for 2028.
