## Source trail
- https://www.tesla.com/roadster — manufacturer description. Initial extraction returned legacy four-seat, 1.9-second material. Refreshed extraction with ?source=review returned Performance, Thrust, Rocket, suction and cold-gas descriptions. Browser direct access returned an empty challenge page. Do not merge old/new specs.
- https://www.cars.com/articles/the-tesla-roadster-that-most-will-buy-wont-fly-530290/ — extracted full article by Lawrence Hodge, dated October 16, 2026; variants, company timing result, flying-feature road caveat, reservation versus final price.
- https://mashable.com/tech/tesla-roadster-flying — extracted article by Stan Schroeder; reported demonstration and unanswered specifications.
- https://www.space.com/technology/spacex-thrusters-just-made-a-tesla-roadster-fly-and-elon-musks-car-is-still-out-there-in-space — extracted reporting by Mike Wall, including mannequin and compressed-air context. Internally inconsistent date wording; no exact event date asserted.

## Evidence boundaries
0.81 seconds: company-announced demonstration result, not independent certification.
2028: stated production target, not guaranteed delivery.
Performance / Thrust / Rocket: distinct configurations; do not imply every trim flies.
Public-road approval, Canadian availability and safety certification not independently established.
No raw timing data, regulator certificate or final sales contract reviewed. Multiple publishers covering a company event do not constitute independent engineering replication.
