The Roadster is pitched as a blend of driver skill and raw speed, with Musk joking that some capabilities, like hovering, are classified. In mature markets, safety is a baseline backed by crash tests and restraints. Musk's stance signals a tilt toward speed enthusiasts, even if it means higher risk. Earlier this year, the NTSB criticized Tesla's driver-assistance messaging as potentially misleading.
