The detail, according to the Information, is that the new Roadster won’t be unveiled until at least August. The demo, a joint effort between Tesla and SpaceX, is supposed to show off the aforementioned cold gas thrusters—the ones that provide unprecedented acceleration, plus hovering and/or flight, and it sounds as if Tesla is still hammering the kinks out.
