Hagerty has a very good walkthrough video with Lars and it looks pretty real. The thing they failed to mention was that the "flying" version is separate and the entire passenger seat is replaced with a pressure tank.
You can make a brick fly if you strap enough thrust ($$$$) to it. That doesn't mean a human without suicidal thoughts would ever want to be strapped to the same brick.
This is hot wheels. It's pretty clear Musk finally had enough of the culture wars at X and decided to go interfere with Tesla some more. Instead of producing a car people might actually want, he made them do this. This is the worst waste of a company you're likely to see in your life.
TSLA is probably not a good stock to be holding right now.
I hate to be the one to tell you, but you probably pass at least one very explosive tank of something very volatile each and every day on your commute.

That sounds extremely explosive and not something any random person should be irresponsibly driving around.

Yup. SpaceX lost four spacecraft to issues with these.
CRS-7, Amos-6, Starship 36, and Super Heavy 18.
How is that different than having my wife there?
If you go on the website that version is listed as "Invite only"
You should look into hydrogen fuel tanks found in Toyotas! Much more terrifying.
Where I live aftermarket modified LPG cars are extremely common. We don't have explosions often.

Big Elon fan boy here but you are 100% right. It’s basically the “Titan” submersible in reverse.

Still frames showing the underside appear to show that it is basically hollow, so fake.
Making a car with a heavy EV battery and powertrain fly like that is probably not something they're able to do.
I think it's not that difficult when you have full access to SpaceX know how and infrastructure.
My only issue with it is that beyond being impressive and very cool, it's pretty useless.
> I think it's not that difficult
First you have to build SpaceX.
Of course, that's why I start from the premise of owning both Tesla and SpaceX.
