all that tech already existed, and is used elsewhere on actually cool things that do stuff. it just wasn’t applied to cars because there’s no practical purpose aside from trying to boost public sentiment and stock valuation.
sure it was sort of neat, but seeing real machines work on those principles is even neater. it just looks less cool because, y’know, safety
I guess I could hook up an air compressor along the tesla charger and keep it hovering instead of landing it. Bonus, it would keep the snow off the roof.
Musk “it’s a flying car!”
Car just falls slowly and doesn’t fly anywhere
Was it “falling with style”, or did they just aim it at the ground and miss?
Fuck musk and all that, but this was a damn cool stunt and some seriously impressive engineering.
but, like, not really?

I would install a roof top parking on my house, transform the driveway into garden.
Roof load of 1700kg car?

To push car up, wind of greater force must push down on roof.
No snow, true.
Musk didn’t do shit tbh, it’s all engineers and marketing team.
Why does there have to be a “but” there? He didn’t do any of the engineering, so fuck him regardless.
Unfortunately he paid the engineers to make this stunt for the sole purpose of increasing his wealth.
I don’t think it’s going to work out for him this time, but I’ve been wrong before
