The car is the latest Tesla Musk has promised to unveil in 2020. He has previously launched a Roadster with the rocket launch into space. Musk has further revealed that he plans on using SpaceX's cold gas thruster with ultra-high pressure in place of the rear seats to make the car get off the ground.

Along with that, during an exchange on Twitter with tech vlogger Marques Brownlee, Musk made it very clear that he is indeed not joking and that Roadster will be able to hover in 2020.

I’m not. Will use SpaceX cold gas thruster system with ultra high pressure air in a composite over-wrapped pressure vessel in place of the 2 rear seats.

Separately, Musk's boring tunnel made some progress when a sample tunnel was shown publicly for the first time in December. The project aims to revolutionise city traffic by zipping below congested streets.
