We’ve made it through another week, InsideEVs readers.
On today’s edition of The Update, the second-generation Tesla Roadster is back in the spotlight. The Information reported Friday that Tesla could demo a “flying” Roadster powered by SpaceX-developed thrusters as soon as this month.
The demo EV could reportedly be remotely operated because of the noise and force generated by the thrusters. There could also be a street legal version, and that’s something early reservation holders have been waiting for nearly a decade.
We’ve been hearing about the Roadster’s imminent arrival for a long time now, only for it to get delayed each time. We’ll soon find out if this time it’s actually true or just more vaporware.
Here are our other top stories today:
Inspired by the phenomenal Lucid Air Sapphire, the new Gravity GT-S promises to make the boring school run a little more entertaining.
Now that Zoox has approval to charge customers for robotaxi rides, it's released a detailed safety testing framework for its cars.
Porsche reportedly plans to phase out the Taycan by 2030. The automaker hasn’t confirmed or denied the claim.
Happy weekend. See you again next week!
