Elon Musk, the famous owner of Tesla and SpaceX, has again spoken about his dream of making a flying car. He shared these ideas during an episode of The Joe Rogan Experience podcast. Musk said that before this year ends, he hopes to show a special prototype of the new Tesla Roadster. This car is not just any normal car, and Musk hinted that it might even feel like something between a car and an aircraft. Many people became excited again because Musk often talks about ideas that sound impossible at first, and this one seems just as wild.

Musk was invited to the podcast to talk about his work, technology, and new inventions. When Joe Rogan asked him why the Roadster, which had been promised many years ago, is still not ready, Musk explained that the team is now very close to showing it. He told Rogan that Tesla plans to do a demonstration soon and that the first look at this Roadster will be something people will never forget. Musk said it would be “unforgettable — whether it’s good or bad.” His words made people curious because Musk usually shares big ideas, and sometimes they take a long time to become real.

The Roadster project has been around for many years. It was first announced in 2017, and Tesla said it might arrive by 2020. But 2020 passed, and then other years passed too, and the car still did not come out. Tesla kept delaying it for different reasons, such as needing more time to develop new technologies or focusing on other important cars. Many fans started wondering whether the Roadster would ever come. So, hearing Musk say that a prototype might finally be shown before the year ends gave people fresh hope.

While talking about the Roadster, Musk gave hints that this car may be very different from the cars we see today. He said, “It has crazy technology.” He also said, “Like, is it even a car? I’m not sure. It looks like a car, but it’s crazier than anything James Bond.” These strong words made people imagine a car that might do things no normal vehicle can do. Joe Rogan tried to ask more about the design and asked whether it might have “retractable wings.” But Musk did not give a straight answer. Instead, he joked, saying he “can’t do the unveil before the unveil.”

Many people think these comments mean Tesla may be working on something close to a flying vehicle. One idea that fans talk about is a VTOL system. VTOL stands for Vertical Take-Off and Landing. This means a machine can lift off straight up, like a helicopter, without needing a long runway. If a car had this ability, it could rise from the ground, float in the air, and maybe travel short distances through the sky. It would be powered by batteries instead of fuel, just like other Tesla cars. If Tesla really creates something like this, it would be one of the biggest changes in transportation in modern times.

Musk has spoken before about how he loves the idea of flying vehicles, and in past interviews, he has said he might try making one someday. However, he also explained that flying cars are difficult because they make noise and need a lot of power to stay in the air. But technology keeps improving every year, and batteries are getting stronger. So, people believe Musk might finally be ready to try it seriously with the new Roadster.

During the podcast, Musk talked in his usual style — confident, humorous, and a little mysterious. He did not explain every detail, which made listeners even more curious. His hints about the car being something more than a car sounded like a teaser for a surprise. Musk often announces bold ideas, and even though some of them take longer than expected, he usually does not give up. That is why many fans still believe the Roadster will arrive someday, and maybe it will truly be something we have never seen before.

The idea of a future where cars can take off and fly is exciting for many people. For years, movies and comics have shown scenes where people fly above traffic in their personal vehicles. Musk’s comments make people wonder if Tesla is trying to turn these scenes into real life. If the Roadster prototype really shows a flying feature, it could change how people travel, especially in crowded cities. Imagine avoiding traffic jams by lifting into the air for a short trip. It sounds like science fiction, but technology sometimes moves faster than we expect.

But even though the ideas sound amazing, some people also worry. Flying vehicles need to be extremely safe. They must be tested many times to make sure they don’t fall or crash. They also need strong rules so that people don’t fly dangerously in busy areas. Tesla would have to prove that the Roadster is safe before anyone can use it. Musk did not talk about safety during the podcast, so we still don’t know how Tesla plans to handle these challenges.

Another challenge is the battery. Flying takes more energy than driving because the machine has to push against gravity. This means the Roadster would need a very powerful battery, maybe stronger than anything Tesla has made before. Musk has said in the past that Tesla is working on new battery technology, so maybe the Roadster will use those advanced batteries. But again, Musk did not share these exact details.

Fans will now be waiting for the official unveiling, which Musk promised will happen “before the end of the year.” People want to see whether the prototype really looks like something from a James Bond movie or whether the “crazy technology” is something no one can guess. Musk described it in a way that creates excitement, confusion, and curiosity all at once.

Even though Musk has delayed the Roadster many times, his passion for bold ideas keeps the project alive. Some fans think he enjoys surprising people by keeping things secret until the last minute. On the podcast, he smiled and avoided giving direct answers, making listeners think something big is coming. Whether this Roadster becomes the first real flying car or simply a super-fast electric car with new tricks, the world will be watching.

For now, all people can do is wait. Musk has promised something unforgettable, and because he kept all the quotes like “It has crazy technology” and “Like, is it even a car?” exactly as they were said, fans are wondering what he meant. Many times in the past, his inventions have changed industries. So it will be interesting to see if this new Roadster becomes another game-changing creation or just a fun experiment.
