1
We'll be right back.
2
Welcome everybody!
3
Hey everyone, welcome to McGregor.
4
I'm Franz, this is Lars.
5
We hope you enjoyed our little pre -show Raptor static fire over there.
6
We are here at SpaceX's rocket test and development center in McGregor, Texas.
7
It's 4 ,000 acres.
8
Thank you for having us.
9
Thank you for hosting us, SpaceX.
10
Thank Thank you for everyone's here and thank you for everyone watching online.
11
We thought we'd just, you know, we're 20 years from when Elon first introduced the Roadster to the world.
12
And it was really a proof of concept that proved EVs were viable product, fun to drive, could go the distance.
13
They were real cars.
14
And look at how far we've come in those 20 years.
15
Yeah, I mean, to be honest, the Roadster is the reason I came to Tesla.
16
And I came here and we had a master plan to build an EV
17
that proved that we could do everything that Franz just said.
18
And to make a cheaper EV that people could afford with Model S.
19
And then we built
20
Model 3 and Model Y.
21
But, you know, the last time we had Roadster and SpaceX together, we put Elon's into orbit.
22
And you can see there.
23
And, you know, Starman is still out there somewhere amazing feet.
24
But I think we should get Elon out here to talk more about that.
25
What do you think?
26
Elon, come on out.
27
Elon, come on out.
28
Are you going to see some crazy stuff tonight?
29
Like, we need an audience to prove that it's not AI or SI.
30
So you guys can tell people you saw it with your eyes.
31
Because what you see with your eyes you will not believe.
32
Yeah.
33
But you're going to see the results of what happens
34
when you have a collaboration with the world's best car company and the world's best rocket company.
35
And this is the culmination of incredible work by Tesla
36
and SpaceX engineers working closely together to make something
37
that you haven't seen in any movie that's better than any James Bond car,
38
better than, well, I don't know, I've never seen anything like this.
39
So, you know, when I suggested this to the team, I thought, am I crazy?
40
Maybe a little bit.
41
Maybe a little bit.
42
Exactly.
43
Am I crazy?
44
Not at all.
45
100 % sane.
46
So, and then things kind of built upon themselves and we're like,
47
well, maybe we could do a little more of this and a little more of that.
48
And I think what you'll see here, by the way, success is not guaranteed.
49
So I want to, you know, I mean that.
50
It'll probably work.
51
But if it doesn't work, we're at a safe distance.
52
Yes.
53
Yes.
54
And excitement is 100 % guaranteed. So...
55
Yes, let's fucking go. So, let's see...
56
The future is autonomous, Elon, right?
57
Yes.
58
But this is not an autonomous car.
59
It is the last...
60
Well, it is technically autonomous for this demo to make sure we don't kill anyone.
61
Correct.
62
So, just in case.
63
But this will actually be long term the only manually driven car that Tesla makes.
64
You're gonna have some fun sometimes.
65
Yeah.
66
And so if you're gonna have only one manually driven car, let's take it to the limits and way past the limits.
67
Elon had this crazy idea.
68
I don't know where it came from, it'd be great to hear, but we said.
69
I think an insane FIBA dream.
70
Guys we got 10 seconds
71
Should we count it down?
72
4, 3, 2, 1
73
I don't know.
74
The End
75
I'm sorry.
76
Well, it worked.
77
Flying cars are real.
78
Yeah.
79
Yeah, well, a friend of mine, Peter Thiel, once said that the future promised us flying cars, but instead we got 140 characters.
80
Well, not anymore.
81
Exactly.
82
That's not the last thing you'll see, by the way.
83
To do that, we have a fan suction system on the bottom of the car that can pull up to two
84
Gs in order to make the car go upside down.
85
And then we borrowed some technology from SpaceX to do the rest.
86
Yeah.
87
I mean, this car really sucks.
88
This car could suck the chrome off a trailer hitch.
89
It could suck a tennis ball through a hose pipe.
90
So and it could stick upside down.
91
Now you might say like how often do you want to stick upside down in a car?
92
Maybe not that often.
93
But it actually has this, an actual benefit on the track
94
or just driving where the down force of the car means
95
you can corner incredibly well like you can corner like it looks like you're breaking physics
96
because the car sticks to the ground so hard.
97
So acceleration, cornering, it's going to crush every track record that has ever existed. So...
98
Yeah, I think the last time we put Roadster with SpaceX, we had Starman in it and maybe we should check,
99
did we put anyone in the car phones?
100
Yeah, I think Starman's going to make an appearance.
101
I think he went for a little ride.
102
Any minute now.
103
Yeah. So, yeah.
104
Here he is.
105
No?
106
Come on.
107
Anticipation.
108
Hey, buddy.
109
He's being coy.
110
Just to be clear, that is not a real human.
111
So the car has obviously attitude control thrusters and main thrusters in the rear.
112
So it can basically fly like a rocket.
113
And it can do rolls, it can do like crazy gymnastics.
114
Whatever you want really.
115
Now I should say that this is not necessarily a safety optimized car.
116
Okay.
117
But it is, it takes the fun meter to 11 out of 10.
118
But speaking of fun meter, you want to try one?
119
Let's try something else.
120
Yeah.
121
I mean that was just a little flight.
122
Let's do a longer flight.
123
Alright.
124
Let's see what we got set up.
125
The End I mean, I've seen a lot of things, but I've never seen that before.
126
Tony Hawk would be proud.
127
We call that the kickflip.
128
Yeah.
129
I think we could have cleared more than our whole fleet.
130
Yeah, we can go further.
131
Like, this will be an actual car that's on the roads.
132
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.
133
So it's gonna be pretty wild that you can have a rocket car.
134
Yeah, to do that, we had the rockets we borrowed from SpaceX technology.
135
You talked about the carbon overlay pressure vessels.
136
I just wanna tell everyone, because I'm a spec guy, there's two of them in the car.
137
They are a total of 600 liters.
138
There's about 250 kilos of air.
139
And we have 10 nozzles to do all that work.
140
And it's using an advanced ultra high pressure air tank.
141
So the car can recharge its air tank.
142
So it's not like you need special propellant or anything like that.
143
It literally is just going to puff itself up and be able to do these maneuvers whenever you'd like.
144
But why don't we show them the car?
145
So since we knew the car was going to fly, Since we knew Roadster was going to fly, we looked for some inspiration about flying,
146
and we thought we would lean into the most badass stuff out there, SR -71, Cars That Transform.
147
And that led us to the new Roadster.
148
So now you get an up -close look at the new Roadster.
149
Thank you Andy and Lamar, those guys are kicking ass on our engineering team making this all happen.
150
You can see the car, very clean, it's a nice clean aesthetic.
151
Like I said, we leaned into a little bit of some of the aerospace aesthetics.
152
It's a two -seater, I'll open it up.
153
As you can see, two guys got out of it.
154
We leaned into lightweight as well, so the seats are molded into the chassis.
155
It's a steer by wire system.
156
So we have a steer by wire yoke, steer by wire brakes, steer by wire throttle.
157
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,
158
in the diffuser area is where the thrusters are, the fans are, and this is kind of the business end of the car.
159
But the car can transform because we wanted to make a pretty car, but also a car that could deliver amazing downforce.
160
So we'll turn the fans off for you.
161
Sorry, it's a little loud here.
162
But as Elon said, this car is meant to be the best driver's car.
163
And to do that, we wanted to.. break the laws of physics.
164
We put the fan sucker system on there to give us traction to be able to corner at greater than two
165
Gs and accelerate with all the traction that goes beyond the tires, which is typically one of the 1 .26 Gs.
166
You see here, we have two modes.
167
We have a high downforce mode, and what the car is in now is a low drag mode.
168
And the fan system also has two modes.
169
It can suck the car down at low speed to give us traction
170
when we need it and at high speed we'll open up the front
171
and rear parts of the suction system to create even more flow underneath the car yeah
172
so if the the rear wing has a variable pitch
173
so it can adjust the downforce dynamically
174
and we'll do it automatically based on on what it calculates you need
175
when you're going around the track but elon how fast did you want
176
Do you want to go to zero to 60?
177
I can't remember.
178
Well, you've got to break one second.
179
Obviously.
180
I tested this the other day.
181
Can we put it up, guys?
182
Can we put the test up?
183
Like, this goes fast.
184
We wanted...
185
All right, one second, right?
186
You said one second.
187
Well, I said less than one second.
188
Oh, shit.
189
Hey, guys, we have a car out there, right?
190
Don't we have a car out there?
191
Can you put it on the max?
192
Let's try and be one second.
193
Do we have a time?
194
What was the time, guys?
195
We didn't have a whole lot of room out on the pad, so we had to cut it short, but do we have a live time?
196
I'm waiting for it.
197
Well, while we're getting to live time, you know, I will say this.
198
Elon mentioned the rocket thrusters.
199
You can see the thrust is exiting the back of the four thrusters faster than the speed of sound.
200
So you see the mock diamonds.
201
It actually creates over 80 kilonewtons of thrust.
202
Yeah, I mean there's that there are cars no, and then there's one car that has mock diamonds.
203
I think we broke the system
204
We didn't do it in a point one seven seconds
205
Yeah, okay, that's a yeah, that point one seconds.
206
I think we're destroy the human if we did that
207
Ah, there you go.
208
There you go point a point a one second
209
We'll do it and we anticipate being able to do better than that.
210
I like the Newton's formula F equals MA as A equals F over M.
211
So as you increase force and decrease mass you get more acceleration.
212
So the production car will actually do better than that.
213
So we'll just ride the limit of don't detach the retina of the human in the car. So, yeah.
214
Well, it is the world's quickest production car of zero to 60.
215
It'll do a half a mile in the time that other cars can do a quarter mile.
216
And I think that's really what we wanted to say today.
217
What else we got?
218
Anything else?
219
No, I mean...
220
Tough speed, right?
221
Oh, yeah, yeah, tough speed, of course.
222
Yeah, yeah.
223
Yeah, yeah.
224
Depends on your street, but it'll be a viable car.
225
And yeah, so we're going to have actually a follow on demo that's... Or two. Or two. Or four.
226
Yeah, yeah.
227
Multiples.
228
So I don't know if this is possible or not, but...
229
Some people may know about Evil Knievel's attempt to jump the Snake River Canyon.
230
Let's give it another shot.
231
And we thought this was crazy.
232
Yeah, man, that's going to look nuts.
233
We're going to have to go pretty fast to do that.
234
Like, really fast.
235
We're going to need a running start.
236
Yeah, we're going to run a start.
237
Sorry.
238
But yeah, the car can go over 230 miles per hour.
239
Hopefully we can get even faster.
240
Definitely much faster than that.
241
Yeah.
242
How fast?
243
Well, I think you gotta go at least, you gotta crack halfway to the speed of sound, I think.
244
Okay.
245
Yeah.
246
Mach 0 .5, maybe a little higher.
247
All right, challenge on.
248
Challenge accepted, sir.
249
Yes.
250
Yes, where we're going you don't need tires.
251
So today marks the day that we build the first world's best flying car and the last best driver's car.
252
When do you want to get it to customers?
253
We entered production in 2028, actually.
254
Actually, for real.
255
Anything left in your bag?
256
I think we might have one more little thing.
257
Should we do it?
258
Yeah, yeah, sure.
259
Okay, let's do the last thing.
260
The End so so
FOR YOU

什麼是跟讀法?
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧,最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓,並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大:您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同,跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性,語調,節奏,連讀,聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
