I popped onto Reddit to see what the Tesla sub thought of this. The amount of fools who actually seem to think this flying car will ever be made is comical.
Not juat that. It’s the same as with the cyberfuck. They daydream about kickflipping over cars in traffic and imagine how everyone point at them thinking they are cool as fuck. Disgusting.
like the OG cybertruck he unveiled in 2017, but never actually went through with it, until 2023, and hyperloop before that.
“Your order & payment do not guarantee you a product. --The Management”
Shouldn’t he focus on fixing his junk trucks that blow up and lock everyone inside in a fiery tomb?
Rather than introduce some other super unsafe shit that’s not going to work correctly. It will be comical if they actual get this thing on the road, to see the videos of people trying to pass other cars with this flying bullshit and launch themselves directly into a freeway wall.
Distraction from the musk documentary
Not to mention the “flight” capable model is purchasable by invitation only.
Just like the previous Roadster, this will never see the light of day.
The previous Roadster was at least a good looking car that never existed on the market, unlike the new abomination that may also never exist on the market.
The first generation Roadster wasn’t designed by Tesla, it was a Lotus Elise with the combustion drivetrain removed.
No, there was the 2nd generation roadster that I suspect the only model of it Musk missed an entire planet with and is now in orbit around the sun.
That’s where all the money from the reservations went, at least it made it to space and didn’t just explode or crash XD
I am so dubious about the roadster demonstration. Was the car being operated by a human? If not, I wouldn’t be surprised if the car was magnetized to the ramp and made super lightweight for the “booster jets” to work.
Even though i have no evidence Im pretty certain there was no human in it also what was used in the show was likely a machine specifically designed for the purpose of the show nothing close to a practical car outside of looks.
Some people saying it’s just AI.
I mean it is possible, as was shown in a demonstration McMurtry did. In fact, I would think it’s more difficult to use magnets to do that. I’d believe this is just a giant fan car.
There’s no way that it gets more than like 3 minutes of runtime from a full charge with that downforce mode on, especially the flight model with all the extra weight of the thrusters and compressed gas tanks.
The was nobody in the car. Of course it was a lot of bs
Tesla don’t give a shit, there’s no money in these kinds of cars, this is just to goose the stock price.
lol that’s not going to stop them
