On August 14, Tesla Motors rose 3.15% in regular trading, trading at $350.735/share, with turnover of $3.826 billion. The stock surged after reports emerged that Tesla is planning to reveal a new Roadster with flight capabilities as early as this month.
According to three people familiar with the matter, Tesla is preparing to unveil a limited-edition Roadster developed in partnership with SpaceX. The vehicle reportedly features cold gas thrusters enabling short-range flight, and the launch event will include a choreographed stunt demonstration showcasing the car's aerial abilities via unmanned, remote-controlled operation. The event is expected to take place at a SpaceX testing facility.
The new Roadster has been delayed for nearly nine years, undergoing multiple design overhauls. The limited-edition variant is expected to carry a price tag of several million dollars, though its commercial contribution is anticipated to remain limited, serving primarily as a symbol of Tesla-SpaceX technological integration. Production timeline for a standard version has not been disclosed, and some early reservation holders have already canceled orders due to repeated delays.
