Tesla Delays Roadster Rocket Thruster Demo to August

Tesla has pushed the public demonstration of its next-generation Roadster to August or later, according to sources cited by The Information. The event, expected in Texas, will showcase a SpaceX cold gas thruster system internally called A71. The system aims to improve acceleration and potentially allow the car to briefly lift off the ground. The prototype was first shown in 2017 with a promised 2020 production start.
