Tesla's Flying Roadster and the Future Global Car Market

 






















Wall Street Journal - "What Tesla’s Flying Roadster Really Means for the Global Auto Race"

In many ways, whether it flies or not is besides the point. Unveiling the Roadster with out-of-this-world technology reiterated that Musk has given up designing cars for regular people to drive. He says the Roadster is the last new vehicle Tesla will offer for humans to drive and is betting instead on remaking Tesla as a robotics company.

In effect, Musk is leaving the mainstream car market to the Chinese—who, he has suggested, are so formidable that many Western automakers are unable to compete without government intervention. It’s a telling sign of where things are going for the Western automotive industry."

The Verge - "The Tesla Roadster flew, drove upside down, and hit 60mph in under a second"
