This is amazing!
It reminds me of Back To The Future II.

5 years ago I would think this is cool.
But after watching Elon lose his mind and botch the Cybertruck so spectacularly bad.... I see it as a design demo that can do rich people party tricks... and will end up driving that way. Cool party trick that feels like a video game after a while.
Meanwhile....
Porsche has unveiled their Mission S prototype.
A spectacularly clean, beautiful drivers car that pays homage to the GT1, the 959, and even the 917 racer (that circular cooling fan over the mid-mounted engine). Yes it will have a gasoline engine!!!
The interior is clean and purposeful.... the gauges physically move into different places depending on the drive mode... and the center console doesn't even have a big screen. There are physical controls for the climate, and a retractable magnetic mount for your phone. (what most people already do for nav and music).
Yes it's going to be a ridiculously expensive rich boy toy.... but it's not going to be artificially limited numbers which means there's a better chance we'll see some on the road in a variety of colors!

I believe that Elon's record for flying shit exploding on the launch pad is the counterpoint to your Porsche slander.

Petty tribalism overrides objective reasoning.
It’s be done before. A long time ago.

Hats off to the Tesla engineers who pulled this off! However, there is no US state that will license a flying rocket car for public roads. It’s simply a cool bit of technology, unless you’re too jaded to see past the weirdo CEO.

What about if one just wants to see cars done away with?

Banishment to the island of the misfit toys?
We should be phasing out cars and focusing on better transportation infrastructure and planning and mass transit and a more humane way of being that doesn’t require everyone to make a hurried days journey each way just to sit in a room and do virtual meetings and make PowerPoints five days a week.
Flying cars are an abomination. Silly stuff for false futurists. Let’s end driving in our lifetime!
