Vedanta Resources Chairman Anil Agarwal expressed admiration for Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s unveiling of a redesigned Tesla Roadster capable of aerial maneuvers using rocket-style thrusters. The demonstration took place this week, showcasing the electric sports car performing mid-air turns and jumps over other vehicles. Tesla plans to begin production of the redesigned Roadster in 2028, though no price has been announced, according to livemint.com.
The redesigned Tesla Roadster was developed in collaboration with SpaceX, featuring rocket-style thrusters that enable short aerial maneuvers. During the demonstration, the vehicle performed dramatic stunts such as turning in mid-air and jumping over other cars before safely landing. However, the showcase did not establish a practical flight range or routine, and Tesla has not indicated that the Roadster will replace conventional road or air transport, livemint.com reported.
Agarwal highlighted that flying cars and running robots, once confined to science fiction, are now becoming reality. He praised the combination of risk-taking entrepreneurship and advanced scientific development as key drivers of rapid innovation in mobility and technology. Agarwal emphasized that bold business leadership paired with scientific progress has the potential to transform industries and society, reflecting on Musk’s demonstration as an example of this trend, according to livemint.com.
Tesla’s production of the redesigned Roadster is scheduled to start in 2028, marking a significant milestone in electric vehicle innovation. The demonstration this week underscored the evolving capabilities of electric sports cars, though Tesla has yet to disclose the model’s target price or detailed specifications, livemint.com noted.
