Where is the Tesla Roadster in space?

What can you tell me about the Tesla Roadster? What is it? Where is it?

The Tesla Roadster—which is occupied by a spacesuit-clad mannequin called Starman—is taking an oblong orbital path around the sun, sometimes traveling as far away as Mars’ orbit and sometimes as close as Earth’s orbit.
Elon Musk’s Tesla Roadster (sometimes called the SpaceX Roadster) isn’t on some major scientific mission. Instead, it was launched in February 2018 to serve as a dummy payload for the Falcon Heavy test flight and became an artificial satellite of the Sun.
The cherry-red 2010 Roadster was personally owned by Musk and used for commuting to work. It was the first production car launched into space and the first to orbit the sun.
If you own (or are looking to purchase) a Tesla, chances are you intend to keep all four wheels securely on the ground. If that’s the case, you’ll want to make sure that your luxury electric vehicle is protected by a great
