Hexp Rooms, the film

A thirty-second launch film for Hexp Rooms, our room designer: walk into a home, pick a room, describe it, and it is furnished in 3D inside its real walls. Made entirely in code.

Motion design, with sound.

The SpaceX flying car, explained

  1. Tesla Roadster

    Shown in October 2026 with a thrust package built with SpaceX. This is what is inside it, and how it flies.

  2. Lift the body off

    Under the skin it is still an electric car. The rocket parts are tucked in around it.

  3. The battery

    A battery in the floor powers everything: the motors, the pump and the fan.

  4. Two motors

    One for each rear wheel. Tyres can only push so hard before they slip, so the rest comes from gas.

  5. The pump

    Battery power drives a pump that squeezes nitrogen into the tanks, to about 10,000 psi.

  6. Two pressure tanks

    Carbon-wrapped tanks like the ones SpaceX flies: 200 litres in the trunk, and 400 where a passenger would sit.

  7. Ten thrusters

    Four in the tail push it forward. Six at the front and sides hold its height and balance. Cold gas: no fire, just pressure.

  8. The fan

    A fan in the floor sucks the car down onto the road, for more than 2 g in corners.

  9. Back together

    From the outside it is still a Roadster. Nothing shows until it fires.

  10. Launch

    The valves open and the gas leaves the tail. That push needs no grip, so it can be four to five times what the tyres could give. Tesla quoted 0 to 60 mph in 0.81 seconds.

  11. Lift-off

    Point the gas at the ground and the car leaves the road. Tesla showed it hopping over a row of its own cars.

  12. Roll

    One side fires, then the other, and the car turns over in the air.

  13. Land

    The thrusters cushion the landing. A full tank lasts only seconds.

  14. Refill

    Back on the road, the pump refills the tanks from the battery. It takes hours, not minutes.
