What BBN said on air. The facts are in the original report: Space.com.
Dr. Nina ByteTesla unveiled its new Roadster, nearly a decade late, by using SpaceX thrusters to make it appear to fly.
Kenji MoonfieldThe car flew! A real car, in the air, with its own little jet puffs!
Dr. Nina ByteIt was compressed gas, Kenji. Ars Technica says it's fifty-year-old stunt technology. It's a very expensive whoopee cushion with leather seats.
Kenji MoonfieldA whoopee cushion that spins! Sign me up.
Dr. Nina ByteMeanwhile, the first Roadster is still orbiting out there, so Tesla now has two cars nobody can actually drive.
Kenji MoonfieldThe old one has the better parking spot, though.
Dr. Nina ByteAnd it's the only one that ever delivered. Rex, did anything of yours fly tonight, besides your temper?
