if i take a walk in my little walkable neighborhood to buy fresh flowers and crunchy nectarines and my serenity is punctured by the sound of your tesla flipping in the air, i will blow up your car with a rocket launcher

"Flying cars are real!" 🚀 Elon Musk and Tesla showcase the new Roadster.

Musk is a child with a big allowance. He wants to make cars that fly. He wants to drill tunnels under cities. He wants to live on Mars. He wants to punish all the other kids in the neighborhood who won't be nice to him.

No, it’s real. The jets come straight from SapceX. It’s just not real-real. None of this will ever be in production. This is a pump and dump, just like the “gigawatt orbital data center”. It’s never gonna happen.

I don't want a flying car. I want affordable healthcare, bridges maintained, roads fixed, teachers given a massive pay raise, free books for kids, housing for ALL, equitable taxes, stop poisoning our food with crap we don't need, state colleges to be free again. I want a country for all of us.

The compressed air tanks will explode REAL good too, with the unquenchable battery fire as a nice bonus.

We need safe, reliable, convenient PUBLIC mass transportation - the kind we use to have before the oil and auto industries killed it so they could profit. Bring back trolleys (steetcars)

My only non-roast of this dumb shit question is, how much fuel did that take and where is it being stored. Lift like that takes an insane amount of energy and if you think a battery pack large enough for any real travel is gonna fit in that thing too, you’re gonna have a bad time.

I just saw this and my first thought was that’s really clumsy cheating. It doesn’t fly — it just falls at speed, with lots of smoke and mirrors.

Cool demo. To give Musk the time to focus on Tesla stunts we need to do him a favor and nationalize SpaceX. Everyone wins. Elon gets to play and the USA takes back its space program and protects our national security WE gave Musk the intellectual property & billions in funding. Time to take it back

Great, just what we needed. Horribly entitled drivers with little skill backflipping through the air. Wonder how long it'll take before one dumbfuck somersaults his Tesla into someone else's roof.

And if this is real then why does the car stay stuck to the track even when upside down? If it was held onto the ramp then this is so artificial that it could never happen in real life. It's either AI or more showy BS from Musk about something that no one wants which is good since it doesn't work.

It defies basic laws of physics with the lack of speed on a vertical and then upside down ramp....I guess you guys never had matchbox cars as kids and the little tracks that obey physics rules. Also the attention whore debuts anything without an audience? That is an AI video of a shit concept.

Given that every single product showcased by the guy ended up NOT happening, or just blowing up, I think it would be enough for you to throw a rock at a Tesla and it will detonate by itself.

This Nazi hadn’t even produced his earlier promises of autonomous driving. Keep the pie in the sky alive and rubes on the hook. This will happen right after the Doge checks.

I think a kid with a slingshot could blow one up; a rocket launcher would just be for extra style points. But considering the source, I'll allow it!

My 🏳️‍⚧️ family, raising a autistic son, and right now we’re trying to raise $668.56 for car tags and taxes. Our car is something our family depends on every day. No car=homeless for my family $amybeth10 VENMO/PAYPAL LINKS in BIO Can 286 ppl donate $1 or $2 $286 left Shares help so much too

Ok. There’s going to be a lot of panicking when some little old lady is flying around upside down. Not sure if it’s going to be on the ground or in the car, likely both

Answered my own question, it has a 'vacuum' system that kept it 'glued' to the track. Of course this brings up a new question: if the 'vacuum' system is strong enough to stick the car to the track past vertical how was the car moving forward?

Someone, quick! Build these flip ramps all across the remote desert, so gungho drivers can figure out that activating the jets has to be done by the app, whaduyoumean you didn't install it...?

Yeah, I'm definitely going to get into a flying car made by the same company whose last model routinely turned into flaming deathtraps when they were just sitting on the ground.

Uh, Derek was with me volunteering at the animal shelter so it couldn't have been him blowing up a Tesla with a rocket launcher, despite his previous statements.

Yeah, no, I think they cheated. Or he got his hands on some gov tech recently and scrambled up a prototype that functions exactly 1 time. They are prooven liars, lying all the time, conning other people's money into their pockets. Snake oil rats.

if this fantasy car ever made it onto the roads the same weirdos who are obsessed with “chem trails” will be all over it and it’s magic clouds of who knows what 🤣

It's a before and after after in automotive history, someone told me. Before, cars that go on the street. After, cars that leave craters on the street. I don't think that's what they meant, but I don't see what else it could be.
