In the latest news surrounding electric vehicles (EVs), CEO Elon Musk says it could take off

In a post on X Sunday morning, Musk said: “The new Tesla Roadster can fly

The new roadster is also expected to reach 60 mph,

Musk also hinted that the roadster will likely include steer-by-wire, similar to what is included with the Cybert truck.

He also pointed out that high-performance EVs could be programmed to have modified steering wheels.
