Tesla Roadster demo: hosts debate stunts and delivery timelines

The podcast hosts speculated about how Tesla might demonstrate the new Roadster: one possibility was a ramp jump, another was using rocket engines or thrust for a brief hover. One speaker expected a combination of flight and Nitro Circus-style stunts; another bet there would be no ramps. These were predictions, not claims about the car’s confirmed capabilities.

The discussion also revisited past delays: according to a host, buyers of the original Roadster paid in full in 2017 and waited about a decade without receiving the car. The speakers suggested that a failure to deliver the new vehicle within a year of its reveal would count as being “fooled again.” The $5,000 and $45,000 deposits mentioned were part of a hypothetical scenario, not confirmed order terms. One speaker also called Mission S the safer bet and said he thought Tesla would deliver it.
