I feel like this is more showcasing a technical achievement then anything else. And it is one. I hate Musk, but 1. He didn’t make it, his insanity talented engineers did 2. It can still be just cool

Yeah the people saying ‘tHiS wIlL nEvEr be lEgAl’ don’t understand what demos or marketing is.

What is the technical achievement?

Car using fans to suction to a surface to be upside down? It’s been done already.

Using thrusters to make something jump and manoeuvre in the air? Nothing new, that techs been around a long time.

It would be impressive if it was packaged into an actual functioning EV with full driving capacity, without being a massive air pressure bomb (the reason no one piloted it), with controls that were functional and easy to drive.

It wasn’t that. It was just a Frankenstein of old tech and idea, packaged together to give an impression of innovation.
