Tesla Roadster Holds Upside-Down, Hovers Down

Tesla demonstrated the next-generation Roadster at SpaceX’s McGregor, Texas test site, driving up a C-shaped ramp and holding inverted by underbody suction. It jumped, flipped and hovered down on SpaceX-derived orientation jets and rear cold-gas thrusters driven by all-electric actuators. The run was pre-programmed, with an Optimus robot in the driver seat for show.
