The Ramp | Roadster

Summary
This official promo video released by Tesla showcases the next-generation Tesla Roadster performing a high-altitude stunt jump off an over-vertical ramp. The demonstration highlights the vehicle using SpaceX-derived cold-gas thrusters to control its orientation and soften touchdown during an aerial flight and landing.

What is shown

• [00:00 - 00:08] The Roadster accelerates from a standstill directly toward and up an illuminated curved quarter-pipe ramp at night.
• [00:09 - 00:15] The car launches off the top edge of the ramp into open air, firing thruster bursts from its chassis to initiate an aerial rotation and stabilize attitude before touching down on flat tarmac into a plume of vapor and tire smoke.
• [00:16 - 00:26] A closer tracking view of the car launching over the ramp lip, displaying active thruster jets firing downward and laterally to control pitch and roll mid-air.
• [00:27 - 00:30] Overhead aerial perspective capturing the vehicle rotating in mid-air and deploying downward thruster firings to cushion landing.
• [00:31 - 00:45] High wide shot showing the entire test pad setup, including the ramp, runway markings, and another Tesla parked on the course as the jumping vehicle clears the flight path, lands, and accelerates away.

Claims & numbers

• None (no text overlays, spoken narration, or technical specifications are presented in the clip).

Notable quotes

• None (the video contains only ambient sound effects and musical score).

Assessment
This is an official Tesla stunt showcase video demonstrating the Roadster’s SpaceX thruster package and aerial attitude control. The footage consists of multiple cinematic camera angles of a live nighttime physical stunt run on an outdoor staging ground.
