Tesla unveils new Roadster

AND I AND AND ULTIMATELY NVIDIA COULD STEP IN IF IT HAS TO. YES. I THINK THAT'S THE THAT'S THE LEAP MAYBE THAT PEOPLE MAKE. >> NATIONAL BANK OF NVIDIA. >> EXACTLY. >> IN MANY WAYS. ALL RIGHT. LET'S MOVE ON TO TESLA BECAUSE THAT COMPANY UNVEILED ITS LONG AWAITED NEW ROADSTER MODEL. IT WAS FLYING IN LAST NIGHT'S DEMONSTRATION AND KIND OF SEE IT THERE. PHIL LEBEAU JOINS US. HE'S GOT A LOT MORE ON A LONG AWAITED LONG AWAITED MODEL, PHIL DAVID. >> THEY PUT ON A SHOW. THEY SAID IT WOULD BE SOMETHING WE HAD NEVER SEEN BEFORE. IT WOULD WOW US. THEY WERE NOT EXAGGERATING. IN FACT, THE PICTURES SAY IT ALL. THERE WERE TWO DEMONSTRATIONS THAT REALLY STAND OUT ABOUT THE NEXT GENERATION ROADSTER, AND THEY INVOLVED THE ROCKET TECHNOLOGY THAT WAS INCORPORATED INTO THE ROCKET VERSION OF THE NEXT GENERATION ROADSTER. ESSENTIALLY, IT IS ABLE TO HAVE, BECAUSE OF COLD GAS THRUSTERS THAT WERE INCORPORATED, BUILT AT SPACEX, AND THEN INCORPORATED INTO THE VEHICLE. IT ALLOWS THE VEHICLE TO THERE YOU SEE IT COMING OFF OF A RAMP WHERE IT WAS BRIEFLY ALMOST UPSIDE DOWN. AND THEN YOU SEE THE THRUSTERS THERE AS IT LANDED. AND ALSO HERE, AS THEY DO A LITTLE EVEL KNIEVEL JUMP OVER A LINEUP OF TESLA VEHICLES, 0 TO 60, THEY SAY, IN 0.8 ONE SECONDS LESS THAN A SECOND. ALL OF THIS BRINGS UP THE QUESTION, WITH ALL OF THIS TECHNOLOGY IN THERE, HOW MUCH OF IT IS REALLY TECHNOLOGY WE MIGHT ULTIMATELY SEE IN THE ROADSTER? HERE'S ELON MUSK TALKING ABOUT SOME OF THAT LAST NIGHT. >> AN ACTUAL BENEFIT ON THE TRACK OR JUST DRIVING WHERE THE DOWNFORCE OF THE CAR MEANS YOU CAN CORNER INCREDIBLY WELL. >> AND YES, I'VE TALKED WITH PEOPLE. IN FACT, I TALKED WITH A FRIEND WHO LIVES IN TEXAS WHO RACES CARS AND SAID, BOY, THAT DOWNFORCE THAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT, ESSENTIALLY, I'M BEING VERY BASIC. CALLING IT A SUCTION SYSTEM KEEPS THE THE CENTER OF GRAVITY EVEN LOWER SO THAT WHEN IT HANDLES IN THE FUTURE, THEORETICALLY ON A RACETRACK, THE ONE VERSION OF THE ROADSTER THAT THEY WERE DESCRIBING, IT SHOULD SET SOME TRACK RECORDS. BOTTOM LINE IS THIS, GUYS, THIS WAS A SHOW TO SAY, YOU WANT TO SEE WHAT WE CAN DO WITH A VEHICLE, WE'RE GOING TO SHOW YOU, ARE WE GOING TO SEE THIS OUT ON A ROAD SOMEDAY WHERE YOU WILL SEE A VEHICLE TAKE OFF LIKE THIS? NO, THERE'S NO WAY. REGULATORS WOULD NEVER ALLOW THIS TO BE OUT ON A ROAD. NOW, YOU TAKE SOMETHING LIKE THIS OUT TO THE BONNEVILLE SALT FLATS, A PRIVATE AREA. YEAH, THAT'S A DIFFERENT STORY. MAYBE YOU COULD DO IT OUT THERE, BUT YOU'RE NOT GOING TO SEE IT ON THE ROADS. DOESN'T MATTER. THE POINT LAST NIGHT WAS TO SAY, YOU WANT TO SEE WHAT WE CAN DO, THIS IS WHAT WE CAN DO. AND THEY PUT ON A HECK OF A SHOW. DON'T FORGET, AS YOU TAKE A LOOK AT SHARES OF TESLA, WE GET THE Q THREE RESULTS AFTER THE BELL YESTERDAY OR AFTER THE BELL NEXT WEEK. I SHOULD SAY THAT'S WHEN WE WILL HEAR FROM ELON MUSK DURING THE ANALYST CONFERENCE CALL. AND YOU CAN BET A LOT OF THE QUESTIONS WILL CENTER AROUND SPACEX AND THE POTENTIAL TO BUY TESLA. NOT SURE HE'S GOING TO SAY ANYTHING THAT WILL MOVE THE NEEDLE IN TERMS OF EXPECTATIONS, BUT WE SHOULD POINT OUT THAT ON KELCE, THE ODDS RIGHT NOW MORE THAN 50% THAT THERE WILL BE SPACEX COMBINING WITH TESLA IN EARLY 2027, OR AT LEAST THE MENTION OR THE MOVEMENT TOWARDS THAT IN 2027. SO BOTTOM LINE GUYS, HECK OF A SHOW LAST NIGHT. VERY INTERESTING. DOESN'T HAVE A LOT OF APPLICATIONS TO THE REAL WORLD HERE AND NOW, BUT IT IS. IT WAS FUN TO WATCH. >> YEAH, THOSE ARE GOOD. THOSE ODDS ARE PROBABLY DECENT. 2027 I JUST EVERYTHING I HEAR AGAIN, I DON'T KNOW THAT THEY'RE ACTUALLY TALKING, BUT THEY'RE THEY'RE THEY'RE WORKING TOWARDS IT IN CERTAIN WAYS. >> I WOULD BE SO SCARED TO BE IN THAT SPACE X AND. >> TESLA IS THIS DOES THE MERGER OF THIS TECHNOLOGY. I MEAN, IT IS KIND OF INTERESTING, RIGHT? THEY DID USE STUFF FROM SPACE X TO OBVIOUSLY CREATE THAT THOSE THRUSTERS. >> YEAH. LOOK, LOOK, IT, IT DID WHAT THEY THEY SAID IT WOULD DO. >> IN TERMS OF YOU WANT TO SEE A CAR FLY. IN THEORY, WE CAN SHOW YOU HOW A CAR CAN FLY THANKS TO THESE THRUSTERS. SO THERE'S NO DOUBT THAT THIS SHOW LAST NIGHT WILL MAKE YOU SAY, WOW, WHAT IS POSSIBLE? THE REALITY OF THIS, AND I'VE HAD A COUPLE OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE EMAILED OR TEXTED ME THIS MORNING AND THEY SAID, DO YOU THINK WE COULD EVER SEE SOMETHING LIKE THIS? NO WAY. NO WAY YOU WILL EVER SEE THIS OUT ON A STREET. THERE IS A STREET LEGAL VERSION OF THE NEXT GENERATION TESLA ROADSTER THAT THEY ARE OFFERING. IT DOES NOT INCLUDE THOSE ROCKET THRUSTERS. IT IS. IT'S A HECK OF A CAR IN TERMS OF WHAT THEY'RE
