All we need is the beltway full of guys trying to fly over each other. I’m no fan of Elon, but when you basically put a guy with a six year olds mentality in charge of making cars this is what you get (along with the trash box that is the Cybertruck). It’s an amazing feat of engineering to be sure. Porsche’s new model is beautiful but yeah, wrong day fellas….
Serena Williams and her Clod husband drive one of those trucks everywhere around here. Some people just can't get enough attention.

Not to take the p*ss because a flying car is f’n rad, but the engineers looking at the specs and everything here basically say you’ll never be able to actually drive and do flips and stuff at the same time - just no capacity. The real practical stuff though (acceleration, handling, torque) will be very useful though. Say on Mars perhaps?

Get this man more ketamine!

They should just drop it in an F1 race to show everyone the real-world capabilities.

There are drivers that can't even back out of a parking space and you're going to give them a car that does flips. I don't think so.

I think he was showing and surprising everyone that it could basically fly. We were all astonished. But the political naysayers will crush it cause of where he has stood.
Of course they look the other away with gates. Jobs, bezos, Zuckerberg etc. saying that why can’t everyone just appreciate what all of these guys have done. Simply genius.!

Zuckerberg gets attacked in particular - for good reason.

I believe all of them - well except Jobs of course (lol) - need to be audited, investigated, you name it.
