Tesla's new Roadster soared several meters into the air, and two accounts on a prediction market made $180,000 betting on the duration of the airborne time.

According to PolyBeats monitoring, at 20:55 US Eastern Time on October 15, Tesla's test track unveiled the next-generation Roadster, equipping the car with SpaceX cold gas thrusters and performing a full set of stunts on the spot: fan suction to the ground for inverted hanging, rushing up an inverted slope and flipping to land.

The probability on Polymarket for "Tesla Roadster airborne for at least 1 second continuously" was as low as 9% before the Roadster unveiling and is now 100%. 2 accounts bought "Yes" in this market:
