Adam Something did a video about this 3 years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fcWOivJ6bs
me watching a tesla roadster blow up because they hit a pothole
It’s probably never getting sold, it’s definitely not going to be road legal if it is.
Watch, the EU is gonna make it functionally, if not actually, illegal, if it isn’t already, to have a car that can jump[1] like that.
[1]: read: accelerate downwards at less than 9.81 m/s2 if unsupported by a solid thing beneath
Lmao. Single use boosters for that trick wont get us flying cars in 100 years lol
Even if they can fly, don’t think they could go over other vehicles without killing people. That downward force has to go somewhere.
Because everybody knows to dive out of the path of overhead helicopters lest they be crushed.
There’s a reason helicopters lift off from heli pads and not traffic jamed streets in the inner city…
Apples to oranges comparison. Look into how helicopters generate lift, you seem to be misunderstanding the physics of the situation.
Or maybe I misunderstood your comment. To me, it sounded like you were responding to the objection that the Tesla’s cold thrust nozzles exert downward force by pointing out that helicopters do the same thing and nobody gets hurt. My response was based on the fact that helicopters also generate downward force/thrust, which is why people keep their distance from a helicopter taking off… which is also why a Tesla taking off in a busy street is a terrible idea.
So either you’re contradicting yourself now, or there’s a misunderstanding here.
Who the fuck believes anything that comes out of Elon Musk’s mouth?
12 year olds and people with the same brain capacity
They’ll get their $5000 after they vote in the midterms.
The “flying” tesla exists, though - there was a demo recently.
Now, it only has 1 seat, isn’t street legal, is being sold on an invitation only basis for an undisclosed price, and uses compressed air to “fly” so it can’t do so for any sustained period - so you won’t see what the meme describes.
Also the versions that are legal and actually would be sold at best have some jets of air on the back to make them go faster, but that coats like 250k USD.
Flying and jumping are different. That car landed and rolled but didn’t fly. The Wright brothers flew further than Tesla ever could.
Yeah - that’s why I put “fly” in quotes and said it couldn’t do it for any sustained period of time.
Right after they finish the self driving.
They’ll fix those cyber trucks blowing up too.
Didn’t they already “fix” that by recalling all of the two-wheel-drive model ones?
Two weeks.
