Tesla’s Flying Roadster Has Wall Street Talking About SpaceX, Not Cars

Tesla unveiled a flying Roadster that performed aerial stunts using SpaceX cold-gas thrusters, achieving 0-60 mph in 0.81 seconds. However, the non-flying version won't enter production until 2028, and the flying variant won't be commercially available. The demonstration sparked merger speculation between Tesla and SpaceX, with analysts estimating an 80% probability of a merger by 2027, though neither company has made official announcements.
