Radical Tesla aero patent may make new Roadster's ~1-sec 0-60 mph launch feasible
Briefly

Tesla has a new patent for a multi-mode active aero system to enhance the Roadster's performance. The technology utilizes fans and deployable skirts for controllable downforce, improving grip. The Roadster aims for a revised 0-60 mph time of less than one second, up from 1.9 seconds originally announced. This timeline has become less otherworldly, as Tesla's Model S Plaid already matches these figures. Elon Musk asserts the new Roadster will have unmatched capabilities, elevating its status among high-performance vehicles.
