Elon Musk has hinted that the long-rumored Tesla flying car could soon make its debut. During a recent appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, the Tesla CEO revealed that the company is close to demonstrating its first prototype. He described the upcoming unveiling as “unforgettable,” suggesting it could become one of the most remarkable product launches in Tesla’s history.
“We’re getting close to demonstrating the prototype,” Musk said. “This product demo will be unforgettable — whether it’s good or bad.” He explained that the development involves highly advanced engineering and new propulsion systems unlike anything Tesla has produced before.
When Rogan asked if the vehicle would feature retractable wings, Musk declined to give technical details. However, he confirmed that Tesla plans to unveil the new vehicle “in a couple of months,” adding that engineers are still finalizing critical performance and safety features. “We need to make sure that it works,” he said. “This is some crazy, crazy technology. Crazy technology. Crazy crazy.”
Musk also referenced his friend and investor Peter Thiel’s observation that “the future was supposed to have flying cars.” He added that Tesla’s innovation aims to bring that vision closer to reality. The announcement sparked widespread excitement across social media, with fans speculating that the flying car might be linked to the upcoming Tesla Roadster update. Tesla has not yet released official specifications, pricing, or images of the potential model.
Meanwhile, Tesla continues to face pressure in the electric vehicle market. The company recently reported record third-quarter revenue but fell short of profit expectations. Tariff increases, research costs, and declining regulatory credits have weighed on the company’s earnings.
Despite these challenges, Musk remains confident about Tesla’s innovation pipeline and long-term potential. The Tesla flying car project, if successful, could redefine personal transportation and further solidify Tesla’s position as a leader in advanced mobility. Enthusiasts around the world now await what Musk promises will be a truly unforgettable reveal of the Tesla flying car.
