During the demonstration, the Roadster ascended a high, curved ramp and drove upside down. The electric vehicle then detached from the structure, performed a mid-air flip, and landed smoothly. Afterward, the sports car jumped over several Tesla vehicles, executing another aerial maneuver.

To perform the stunts, a fan system providing downforce and gas thrusters developed in collaboration with SpaceX were used. The company also demonstrated the Roadster accelerating to 97 km/h in under a second.

Elon Musk stated that serial production of the sports car is planned to begin in 2028. However, the feasibility of using such technologies on public roads remains in question.
