They demoed a car that was loaded with a shit load of compressed gas, then they had it do a kick flip over a line of cars and a semi truck. They also drove it up a massive inverted ramp and then had it flip over and land smoothly.
Looked cool as hell, but has absolutely no practical purpose other than allowing Nazi Musk to get headlines saying they have a flying car.
They did a demo of the new roadster model; they’ve strapped a suction fan and HPA thrusters to it so it can do 0 to 60mph in under a second, drive up walls, perform a running jump over a semi-truck without a ramp, spin and do a standing flip.
The frothing, uncritical comments from Musk stans on that video are insane. I hope they’re mostly bots and don’t represent real humans - nobody is acknowledging how impractical, unsafe, or illegal any of these moves are, nor how it’s a just a stunt that will never reach real-world production or on-road use.
God damn it, I want that to be as cool as it should be! This timeline is bullshit and I’m calling shenanigans! THATS A FLYING FLIPPING FUCKING CAR AND ITS NOT COOL BECAUSE ELON!!!
Okay, I know I could look this up indvidually, but for those of us who missed it, what happened today?

it’s not a flying car. it’s a car that can fall with style.
Well he sure as hell does not have a friend in me…
Supercars in general have no practical purpose, and people buy them. Being cool is the entire sales pitch.
Yeah if you live in literally any country except Germany, lol. Autobahn goes brrrr.

Tesla released a ‘flying car’ video, I think.
