The car climbed a vertical ramp using a suction module, performed a flip in the air, and jumped over other cars using compressed-air thrusters. Three versions were presented — Performance, Thrust and Rocket; serial production, according to Elon Musk, is planned to begin in 2028. Pre-orders are already open; final prices have not been announced.

The car drove along an inverted ramp, performed a trick in the air, and jumped over other Tesla vehicles. Claimed figures include 0–60 mph in under one second, a range of over 300 miles, and a top speed above 230 mph. Production is scheduled for 2028; deposits range from $50,000 to $250,000.
Sardor QodirovAdvisor to the President of Ukraine Serhiy Beskrestnov and former advisor to the Defense Minister Serhiy Sternenko reported that SpaceX has throttled the speed of Starlink terminals used by Ukrainian military personnel. According to Ukrainska Pravda, the restrictions affected the military version, Starshield, which is essential for drone operators. Beskrestnov said no warning was given about the measures and this led to the failure of a number of missions.
Aziz KarimovUkrainian officials report that SpaceX imposed speed restrictions without warning on military Starlink (Starshield) terminals, hindering Kyiv's drones. Zelensky called the decision 'a big mistake'; Musk blamed the US military and Trump. Against this backdrop, Russia struck Kyiv, Kharkiv and Lutsk: at least 8 dead, about 600,000 people without electricity. Ships are also reported to have sunk near the Strait of Hormuz.
Aziz KarimovZelensky's adviser Serhii Beskrestnov said SpaceX overnight introduced a speed limit for Starlink terminals — 160 km/h — which disrupted a number of drone missions. SpaceX has not commented; Musk said Starshield is controlled by the US government. The restrictions coincided with massive Russian strikes that left 600,000 people without electricity and with a deterioration of Kyiv–Washington relations.
