Tesla Roadster wall trick explained: wings, fans and a suction downforce system

A breakdown of the Tesla Roadster 2.0 stunt shown on October 16: the car sticks to the wall and flips using a ground-sealing suction system for downforce, while wings, vents and fans redirect airflow to stabilize it in the air. Tesla insists the demonstration was real, not staged.

• Wings, fans and vents around the body enable the maneuver
• A suction-based ground sealing system holds the car on the wall
• 0-60 mph in under one second with the limited Thrust augment
• The invite-only Rocket augment handles forward and upward thrust
