Summary
Tesla has unveiled the next-generation Roadster, nine years after the company showed off its concept prototype and after years and years of launch delay. When they opened up the door to the driver's seat, an Optimus robot was seating there. Meanwhile, it could jump off the ramp and safely land on the ground, thanks to its attitude-control thrusters and thrusters in the rear, which use technology borrowed from SpaceX. Tesla first started taking pre-orders for the Roadster way back when it was first announced. Those who didn't get the chance can now reserve a unit for $5,000, with $45,000 to follow within the next 10 days for the base vehicle.
