Flying is obviously a gimmick, but when Elon said this will crush all track records he wasn’t kidding.
The base model has the suction fans which will make huge gains.
Next model up has rear thrusters for the acceleration, which will be more insane. It’s limited production.
Final model that can fly is invite only and will be a joke on the track, using those thrusters to go around corners way, way faster than normal.
I wish they had shown track laps and 1/4 mile times instead of the gimmick of flying.
If they could have they would have shown it.
I honestly think it’s not finished yet (that’s why no production till 28 and Elon obviously being not confident the demo would work)
They also wouldn’t have wanted it on test tracks before today.
You can tell a lot about what you don't see... For instance, a driver getting in - or out.
If that thing would have looked like a huge drone (which I strongly suspect it is) no one would be up in arms about it.

I don't think so, most non car people don't understand 1/4 mile times.
And they already did that with a cybertruck pulling a 911, already done.
