Why are they calling it a Roadster ? It needs to have two seats and an open top.
 More Musk Bullshit.

The same way some Germans and Genesis call SUVs coupes?

As a publicity stunt I think he knocked it out of the park, the number of memes and other content this created was impressive. 

Do I think this sort of "flying" car to end up in customers hands...no, I don't think it would be possible to get it to pass any sort of safety test, the cost and complexity would likely be excessive.

I do think it might be possible that they have some kind of "suction" to have the car get maximum grip for 0-60 times under 1 second.  That seems to be the main performance metric he and the EV masses seem to care most about from this product.
