Original: Tesla patents ‘Electric Fan Car’ with 4 ducted fans ahead of Roadster reveal
Tesla has patented an 'Electric Fan Car' design featuring four ducted fans, according to Electrek. The patent surfaces ahead of the expected reveal of the next-generation Roadster, which Elon Musk has long claimed could use fan-based technology to boost acceleration and downforce. Enthusiasts see the filing as a hint that the long-delayed supercar's radical features may be real.
Why now: The patent filing is being read as a clue about the Roadster's long-promised cold-gas/fan acceleration technology ahead of its reveal.
