He literally made good on the long time promise of FLYING CARS and this is not the top post????

this site just toast

It's a tech demo marketing presentation with a jumping car in it, not a flying one. It does look pretty cool though. Let's first wait and see if/when this will even be available and not just a marketing stunt.

  • It accelerates and maneuvers in-air, that is not a "jump". It legit flies.

    This is not some suden demo, this is something they've promised and talked of along time ago and has been in development the whole time.

    And Tesla is all about manufacturing so mistaking this for some "prototype-only" device is misled.

    • I make flying stuff all the time. Not as heavy but I don't see a reason why I couldn't and I won't need a couple of billion to do so. This thing 'flies' for a very narrow definition of flying. Call me when it stays in the air for a couple of minutes. Prediction: that will never happen.

    • We've had variations of flying cars for 60+ years. We know how to build them.

      What people mean by "flying cars" is mass production. Ford Model T.
