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.
Definitely lots of misunderstanding going around. The meme makes no mention of thrust nozzles, that’s just crazy dumb for any kind of flying car that would be landing anywhere with people and a clear indication this is all just vaporware at best or fraud. Regardless the person I was replying to was specifically referring to helicopters only, and so was my comment and people are in no danger of getting squished by an overhead helicopter (unless it lands on them).
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.

Ah okay, now I get you! In this case I, once again, apologize for taking a shitpost too serious. Have a splendid evening!
