On Thursday night, Elon Musk unveiled his new Tesla Roadster. We covered that event here. The flipping, flying, and seemingly gravity-defying vehicle not only excited viewers online but also sparked their imaginations. That means memes.
Before we get to those, here’s a two-video recap of the Tesla Roadster’s debut. (WATCH BOTH)

So awesome! Now the memes!
Posters immediately thought of the implications and applications of driving a Roadster in annoying traffic.

Things really are looking up.
Funny enough, many foreign X accounts see the Roadster as a solution to their traffic woes, too.

‘Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue!’ Wait, that’s an Airplane! joke.
Our boy Elon had some memers getting animated.
No more waiting for the future.

Who did they use as the crash test dummy in the Tesla Roadster? 🤔 pic.twitter.com/rkbdG3YPG3

You can learn a lot from a dummy. At least Sleepy Joe is keeping busy and being useful for a change.
