Tesla Roadster Said to Fly and Hit 60 MPH in Under a Second
Edmunds reports the Tesla Roadster is capable of flight and can reach 60 MPH in less than one second, two headline-grabbing performance claims.
The long-anticipated Tesla Roadster is back in the spotlight after Edmunds revealed two striking claims about the electric supercar: that it can fly and that it can accelerate from a standstill to 60 MPH in less than one second.
Flight and Blistering Acceleration
According to Edmunds, the Roadster is capable of flight, a capability rarely associated with a production road car. The outlet also reports that the vehicle can hit 60 MPH in under a second, a figure that would place it among the quickest-accelerating cars ever described.
These two headline claims — flight and sub-one-second acceleration to 60 MPH — are the centerpiece of the reveal as presented by Edmunds. Taken together, they position the Roadster as a model aiming well beyond conventional performance benchmarks.
What Edmunds Reported
The details come from Edmunds, which framed the reveal around the Roadster's extraordinary performance envelope. Beyond the flight capability and the sub-one-second sprint to 60 MPH, no additional specifications were provided in the summary available.
As with any extraordinary performance figures, the claims will draw close scrutiny. For now, the reveal underscores the ambitious targets set for the Roadster as reported by Edmunds.
