I was a little kid the last time I dreamt about flying cars. Then I grew up and realized it's a silly idea.
Also if it was just a demo for space mining, why is it marketed as a car for consumers and why can I buy a $250K reservation to maybe (!) buy one for an unknown price and with an unknown set of features at an unknown point of time in the future?
I think it's very simply just a scam to extract money from Elon's fans.
"Elon's fans" - you have TDS. You can think this is neat without being a fan of him or Trump (I'm certainly not). I can recognize the great engineering and cool things coming out of China without supporting their political system.
Jesus Christ, if I hear TDS one more time, I will scream. The man has proven himself a fool with a useless war in Iran that has destroyed the global economy. And, we're not even talking about him!! We're talking about someone else!
There's only one deranged person in this conversation.
Like I said, TDS. I didn't vote for Trump and think he's a bag of farts, Elon is well, Elon - but I think the self flying car is cool as is the rocket stuff from a pure engineering perspective. No need to project and lash out at everything. Sometimes a cool ass flying car is just a cool ass flying car. Btw, in the real world (not costal enclaves, not reddit) my opinion is the majority one. I hope you get the help you need.
