Tesla Secures Patent for 'Electric Fan Car' Downforce System

Tesla has been granted a new patent for an 'Electric Fan Car' design, featuring four ducted fans integrated into the vehicle's rear diffuser to generate aerodynamic downforce. This system aims to enhance stability and grip across all speeds by effectively suctioning the car to the road. The patent filing, which notably illustrates a Model S, comes shortly before the anticipated public demonstration of the next-generation Roadster.
