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?
