And users joked back to his post on X that it’s ‘easy to forget there’s a Tesla cruising through space’ while they said it’s ‘probably still looking for a charging station’. But luckily for Musk (and anyone else wanting to keep tabs), the ‘where is roadster?’ site keeps track of the car, and it’s currently going at just over 11,000 mph. Advert The tech boss’ personal Tesla Roadster was sent off to space as part of his SpaceX project to act as the dummy payload for a Falcon Heavy test flight. Well, also as a bit of a practical joke as he wanted the rocket to carry the ‘silliest’ thing he could think of. A mannequin named ‘Starman’ sits in the driver’s seat, dressed in an astronaut suit similar to what a real one might wear for a spacewalk or during lift off into space. Now, over seven years since it was sent out into space, the vehicle’s current location (at the time of writing) is roughly 231,182,900 miles away from Earth, moving towards Mars at about 11,371 mph.
