I'm sorry.

I don't know.

Well, it worked.

Flying cars are real.

Yeah, well, a friend of mine, Peter Thiel, Once said that the future promised us flying cars, but instead we got 140 characters.

Well, not anymore

That's not the last thing you'll see by the way

To do that we have a suction a fan suction system on the bottom of the car

that can pull up to two G's in order to make the car go upside down.

And then we borrowed some technology from SpaceX to do the rest.

Yeah, I mean, this car really sucks.

This car could suck the chrome off a trailer hitch.

It could suck a tennis ball through a hose pipe.

So, and it could stick upside down.

Now, you might say, like, how often do you want to stick upside down in a car?

Maybe not that often.

But it actually has an actual benefit on the track,

or just driving, where the downforce of the car means you can corner incredibly well.

Like you can corner like it looks like you're braking physics, because the car sticks to the ground so hard.

So acceleration, cornering, it's going to crush every track record that has ever existed.

so yeah i think uh the last time we put roadster uh with spacex we had starman in it

and uh maybe we should check did we do we put anyone in the car phones yeah

i think starman's gonna make an appearance.

I think he went for a little ride.

Any minute now.

Yeah. So, yeah.

Here he is.

No?

Come on.

Anticipation.

He's being coy.

Just to be clear, that is not a real human.

Yeah.

So the car has obviously attitude control thrusters and main thrusters in the rear.

So it can basically fly like a rocket.

And it can do rolls, it can do like crazy gymnastics.

Whatever you want really.

Now I should say that this is not necessarily a safety optimized car.

but it is it takes the fun meter to 11 out of 10

but speaking of fun meter you want to try one let's try something else I mean

that was just a little flight let's do a longer flight alright let's see what we got set up

Oh, my God.

I mean, I've seen a lot of things, but I've never seen that before.

Tony Hawk would be proud, we call that the kickflip.

Yeah.

I think we could have cleared more than our whole fleet.

Yeah, we can go further.

Like, this will be an actual car that's on the roads.

You know, I'm not sure it's necessarily legal in all jurisdictions, but like, there will be such a car that someone can own.

So it's going to be pretty wild that you can have a rocket car.

Yeah, to do that, we have the rockets we borrowed from SpaceX technology.

You talked about the carbon overlay pressure vessels.

I just want to tell everyone, because I'm a spec guy, there's two of them in the car.

They are a total of 600 liters.

It's about 250 kilos of air.

And we have 10 nozzles to do all that work.

and the it's it's using an advanced ultra high pressure air tank

so the car can recharge its air tank

so it's not like you you know you need special propellant

or anything like that it literally is just gonna puff itself up

and and and and be able to do this these maneuvers whenever you'd like well

but why don't we show them the car

so to bring it out

we since we knew the car was going to fly since we knew roadster was going to fly

we looked for some inspiration about flying

and we thought we would lean into the most badass stuff out there sr 71 cars that to transform,

and that led us to the new Roadster.

So I know you get an up -close look at the new Roadster.

Thank you, Andy and Lamar.

Those guys are kicking ass on our engineering team making this all happen.

We can see the car.

Very clean.

It's a nice, clean aesthetic.

Like I said, we leaned into a little bit of some of the aerospace aesthetics.

It's a two -seater.

I'll open it up.

As you can see, two guys got out of it.

We leaned into lightweight as well, so the seats are molded into the chassis.

It's a steer -by -wire system.

So we have a steer -by -wire yoke, steer -by -wire brake, steer -by -wire throttle.

And as we get to the rear of the car, this is where a lot of the action.

You can't see it, but online, in the diffuser area is where the thrusters are,

the fans are, and this is kind of the business end of the car.

But the car can transform because we wanted to make a pretty car, but also a car that could deliver amazing downforce.

So we'll turn the fans off for you.

Sorry, it's a little loud here.

But as Elon said, this car is meant to be the best driver's car.

And to do that, we wanted to break the laws of physics.

We put the fan sucker system on there to give us traction to be able to corner at greater than 2

Gs and accelerate with all the traction that goes beyond the tires, which is typically 1 .6 Gs.

You see here we have two modes we have a high downforce mode

and what the car is in now is a is a low drag mode

and the fan system also has two modes

it can suck the car down at low speed to give us traction

when we need it and at high speed we'll open up the front

and rear parts of the suction system to create even more flow underneath the car yeah

so if the the rear wing has a variable pitch so it can adjust the down force dynamically.

And we'll do it automatically based on what it calculates you need when you're going around the track.

But Elon, how fast did you want to go to zero to 60?

100

I can't remember.

101

Well, you've got to break one second.

102

Obviously.

103

I tested this the other day.

104

Can we put it up, guys?

105

Can we put the test up?

106

Like, this goes fast.

107

I don't know.

108

We want to

109

All right, one second, right?

110

You said one second

111

Well, I said less than one second

112

Oh, shit Hey, guys, we have a car out there, right?

113

Don't we have a car out there?

114

Can you put it on the max?

115

Let's try and be one second.

116

do we have a time what was the time guys

117

we didn't have a whole lot of room out on the pad

118

so we had to cut it short but do we have a live time i'm waiting for it

119

well

120

while we're getting the live time uh you know i will say

121

this elon mentioned the rocket thrusters you can see the the thrust is exiting the back of the four thrusters

122

faster than speed of sound

123

so you see the mock diamonds it it actually creates over 80 kilonewtons of thrust yeah i mean there's

124

that there are cars no and then there's one car that has mock diamonds I think we broke the system.

125

We didn't do it in .17 seconds.

126

Yeah, okay, that's, yeah, .1 seconds, I think we'd destroy the human if we did that.

127

Ah, there you go, there you go.

128

.81 seconds.

129

.81 seconds.

130

There you go.

131

Nice work.

132

We'll do, and we anticipate being able to do better than that.

133

I always like the Newton's formula F equals MA as A equals F over M.

134

So as you increase force and decrease mass, you get more acceleration.

135

So the production call will actually do better than that.

136

So we'll just ride the limit of don't detach the retina of the human in the car. So, yeah.

137

Well, it is the world's quickest car, production car of zero to 60.

138

It'll do a half a mile in the time that other cars can do a quarter mile.

139

And I think that's really what we wanted to say today.

140

What else we got, anything else?

141

No, I mean.

142

Tough speed, right?

143

Oh yeah, yeah, tough speed, of course, yeah, yeah.

144

Great street, evil.

145

Yeah, yeah, depends on your street, but it'll be a viable car.

146

And, yeah, so we're going to have actually a follow -on demo that's... Or two. Or two. Or four.

147

Multiples.

148

So, I don't know if this is possible or not, but some people may know about Evil Knievel's attempt to jump the Snake River Canyon.

149

Let's give it another shot.

150

And we thought this was crazy.

151

Man, that's going to look nuts.

152

We're going to have to go pretty fast to do that.

153

Like, really fast.

154

We're going to need a running start.

155

Yeah, we're going to run a start.

156

But yeah, the car can go over 230 miles per hour, hopefully we can get even faster definitely much faster than

157

that yeah how fast well I think you've got to go at least

158

you got to crack halfway to the speed of sound

159

I think okay yeah Mach 0 .5 maybe a little higher

160

all right challenge on challenge accepted sir yes where we're going you don't need tires

161

So today marks the day that we build the first world's best flying car and the last best driver's car.

162

When do you want to get it to customers?

163

We entered production in 2028, actually.

164

Actually, for real.

165

Anything left in your bag?

166

I think we might have one more little thing.

167

Should we do it?

168

Yeah, sure.

169

Okay, let's do the last thing. So I

170

don't know. So

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
