Comment on Might be reality sooner than you think
ALoafOfBread@lemmy.ml 3 weeks agoThe “flying” tesla exists, though - there was a demo recently.
Now, it only has 1 seat, isn’t street legal, is being sold on a invitation only basis for an undisclosed price, and uses compressed air to “fly” so it can’t do so for any sustained period - so you won’t see what the meme describes.
Also the versions that are legal and actually would be sold at best have some jets of air on the back to make them go faster, but that coats like 250k USD.

Flying and jumping are different. That car landed and rolled but didn’t fly. The Wright brothers flew further than Tesla ever could.

Yeah - that’s why I put “fly” in quotes

This isn’t flying, this is falling with style.

True

Even calling that hallowed out shell a car is a big stretch.

I don’t trust that demo anyway. Show it off during the day.
