its because its made by one of elons companies and not the chinese government or smth like that, so reddit will hate it. half the people in tis sub dont seem to realise that if we want to make flying cars, we need to start somewhere. this is that somewhere, its progress
Yea this is quite literally the closest we have gotten to flying cars and suddenly it’s a problem. Had this been ANY other auto manufacturer people would be hyping this up like crazy
Are we really qualifying this as a step towards flying cars? It's not even a viable path forward.
The thing probably has a flight time in the single digit minutes if not less than a minute sustained, and certainly isn't a real car inside. Just a shell full of nothin but tank.
It's not even a path that would scale with miniaturization. Always gonna need a shit ton of gas to do anything
there are scooters and golf carts that are not actually cars. I bet this is some kind of electric scooter made of carbon fyber without any real heavy stuff inside except pressure tanks and controls
Nah, if BMW or Ferrari put a marketing stunt like this out there, I would also ask “why?” As well.
It isn’t a technological marvel. This is 2026, a computer attached with thrusters jumping over a few vehicles is more or less just stunt development team for another fast and furious movie.
We have had this tech a while, just never attached it to vehicle body panels. This is no different then when we put jet engines on cars years ago. For the stunt.
because if this is what makes a "flying car" then we already have them 50 years ago. it's irritating for the most basic physics to earn undue credit when its purpose is to not create anything in a context meant to push the industry.
Cause they don’t have good stability, jobs, are struggling to pay any bills, yet we have the largest military in the world and have been constantly at war with the Middle East for decades.
Just a few things. I didn’t even get to the pedophilia or the guy profiting off this show being a Nazi.
There’s like a lot of reasons that the people who don’t forget don’t like this
But hey they put some jets on the Nazi brand car. Neat
The fact that instead of just letting it go you go out of the way to stalk my account kind of proves my point. May you get the help you need. God bless.
"everyone who used the default generated name on reddit is a bot"
are the engineers who made this technology doing nazi salutes in their workshops and laboratories? Hitler (far worse than elon btw) made volkswagen, an extremely successful car company. just because elon is by no means the best of people doesnt mean that what the engineers in his company have achieved isnt impressive.
I just don’t get why. Like the downforce was cool, I get that part. The flying part seems a little unnecessary but I guess I just don’t understand the importance of it
Because it's not practical nor pheasible? And in the current state Tesla is in, as well as what Elon has been doing and the current state of the US; it's nothing short of a distraction to just jingle keys in front of people so he can fuel his ego

Why do we live in a future where people see flying cars and whine about them?
