Elon Musk presented a lithium-ion battery powered aircraft that flies in a single charge up to 1000 kms in the last week of February, 2025 at California’s private airfield. The aircraft is called Tesla Air. Its body is made up of ultra-light carbon fiber to allow it maximum aerodynamic efficiency. Its wings are designed to increase the lift. Its propulsion system is fully electric. Its battery can be fast recharged in less than 45 minutes.

Aviation industry contributes heavily to carbon emissions. Tesla Air heralds clean and quiet air flights.

The cabin interiors are minimalist but comfortable. The aircraft is a turning point for the future of air transport.

There are some challenges. However, by 2040 most regional flights could be operated by electric aircraft.

The sky is not the limit for Tesla.
