Elon Musk turned a few heads on Twitter yesterday, January 9 when he claimed that an upcoming Tesla car might have the ability to fly. Now it appears he’s going to add thrusters to a new version of the Tesla Roadster car, claiming it will give it the ability to fly. “The new Roadster will actually do something like this,” Musk said in response to a tweet showing a picture of the flying DeLorean from Back to the Future. Will use SpaceX cold gas thruster system with ultra high pressure air in a composite over-wrapped pressure vessel in place of the 2 rear seats.”This isn’t the first time Musk has alluded to a flying Tesla. Hovercraft overcome this problem by having a rubber cushion around their base, which contains the air pressure.
