Latest Tesla technology patent could transform how all future electric vehicles are made

A new Tesla technology patent might be just the thing the company needs to deal with struggling sales in 2025.

The carmaker has filed a fresh patent for a wild new aerodynamic system that could make its long-delayed Roadster one of the most advanced production cars ever built.

Forget subtle tweaks to drag coefficients; this tech involves fans and deployable skirts that actively shape airflow under the car.

If it works, the Roadster might just handle like a Formula 1 car while accelerating like a dragster.

Elon Musk has big dreams for the Tesla Roadster

The latest Tesla technology patent was filed on August 5, 2025.

The system works by generating low-pressure zones beneath the vehicle, essentially sucking it closer to the road during extreme acceleration or tight cornering.

That extra grip is exactly what you’d need if you were aiming for Elon Musk’s audacious goal: a sub-one-second 0–60 mph time.

For context, the current king of Tesla performance, the Model S Plaid, hits 60mph in just under 2 seconds, which is already face-warping.

But Musk insists the Tesla Roadster will be faster still, once again pushing the boundaries of what a street-legal car can do.

Of course, blistering acceleration is only part of the story.

This aero wizardry could also improve efficiency during normal driving by reducing drag in highway cruising conditions.

More efficiency means longer range, fewer charging stops, and lower costs for drivers, which are benefits that matter just as much as bragging rights at the traffic lights.

It’s a neat reminder that race-car tech can have practical payoffs in everyday EVs.

This Tesla technology patent is a much-needed boost

The timing of the latest Tesla technology patent couldn’t be more crucial for the struggling carmaker.

The company’s revenue fell 12 percent in the second quarter of 2025, its steepest decline in more than a decade, with deliveries down 13 percent year-over-year.

Just last month, Elon Musk lost $12 billion in wealth overnight, when Tesla’s share-price declined sharply.

Rivals like BYD, Nio, and Porsche are churning out sleek, fast EVs of their own, and the once-untouchable Tesla brand is under pressure to prove it can still innovate.

In fact, BYD’s quad-motor EV with almost 3,000 horsepower is getting a lot of attention, as it seeks to dethrone the Rimac Nevera R as the world’s most powerful road-legal production car.

A Tesla Roadster that feels more spaceship than sports car might be exactly what the company needs to get out of its current slump.

With industry veterans like Bugatti’s CEO weighing in on Tesla’s lofty 0-60mph-in-a-second goal, all eyes are on Tesla to deliver.
