Elon Musk says Tesla Roadster 'flying' demo is coming

he also said we would be on the moon this year

[deleted]

Cough. Bullshit.

Yeah, Elon says a lot of shit.

From the company that hasn’t delivered on FSD or Robots, it’s flying cars to justify an astronomical share price.

>If you took all the James Bond cars and combined them, it’s crazier than that. Just a reminder that fictional Bond car have been shown to be armed, flying, be boats, submarines and more... And a flying car is known with another name. HELICOPTER. How many Tesla's buyers have an helicopter flying license?

So is Jesus. I’m gonna just do my thing and not bother with Elons bs promises

You know what’s infinitely better than skeptically writing about and debunking obvious bullshit? Not reporting obvious bullshit at all.

With 150 Ton payload, the dick rockets can't reach earths orbit.

He loves to find new and unusual ways to kill his customers.

I joked for years that Elon would announce flying Teslas that run on water. So far I am half right 😀

A new Tesla vehicle. Now with even less range!

He said they would be on mars by now already nevermind the moon, with a ship that had onboard cinemas, bowling, zero G games etc. He’s a snake oil salesman through and through.

Aren't we supposed to have cars that can drive across country without human intervention by now?

I wouldn’t believe it if it was true at this point. Shameless in the never ending quest for more money and power

I'm still waiting for FSD to be Full Self Drive.

The demo is going to be some really bad CGI.

What happened to Cybertruck revolutionizing automotive industry?

Well, he already drove Tesla off a cliff, that counts as flying, right?

That was promised for 2019

>Is it even a car? It looks like a car. Let’s just put it this way. It’s crazier than anything James Bond. If you took all the James Bond cars and combined them, it’s crazier than that. Here is hoping it has a submarine mode for tech billionaires trying to have a look at shipwrecks...

They still have another month to design and build a lander, and a rocket powerful enough to get us to the moon.

Even if it was possible to get it going, why would you trust anything he built? The quality is suspect and what is the purpose of this model? Tesla Roadster... the device you use to hunt your community. Idiot

Wonder why he didn’t got straight to teleportation.

17

$100 this involves a long hype cycle and a man dressed as a robot pulling a lever that catapults a car using a gigantic sling.

[ Removed by Reddit ]

Also terrifying: Trapped and drowning inside Tesla while under 5ft of water, because emergency services could not get in is a ridiculous way to go.

Very nice.  Now lets sick Rick Allen (Elon) fly it.

😂😂😂😂😂

No it’s not

The only thing flying is the share price, powered only by bullshit

Simply put the car into 'fly' mode. It locates the nearest multi story car park, drives to the top and then through the railings. The mode will then disengage, it's up to the driver to manage the landing in this version.

I wouldn't go that far. He does often over promise and under deliver, but you can't deny that he has helped to revolutionize space travel. And he's pouring billions of dollars into Starship to try and take space travel to the next level.

Or burning to death because the locks won't open and the windows are hardened glass, the opposite of what should and has been used in cars.

phony stark

This thing is going to be beneficial to our gene pool in the long term.

The only think flying is the lies he’s blowing out his rear

His fans are gullible idiots.

So taking bets on the following: 1. Elon reveals a Telsa branded eVOTL 2. Elon reveals a demo car that either hovers slightly or is some sort of electro magnetic 'hover for a minute that will never be released 3. Elon reveals a regular tesla or dummy model and then talks about how it will fly without demoing anything (ie like the battery swap gimmick or the initial optimus robot dancer).

Finally, raptor 5 coming soon.

Not quite. With Tesla having Cold Gas Thrusters on the Roadster, it has a ballistic trajectory only. No vertical start. And the landing will be a bit rough. But don’t worry, Airbags have been replaced by Grok Aibags. Much better and way cheaper. Stockprice goes to Mars!

I think I've already seen this one. Isn't a Model S going a silly speed over a hill and crashing? [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNiEPPVefUE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNiEPPVefUE)

By next year thousands of Optimus robots will be building a Mars base in preparation for humans, he said.

Demo’s are easy, building a real product is hard. He’ll likely start collecting pre-orders to claim future income in the financial calls, then it’ll be years of saying it’s coming and missing deadlines, while also promising new features nobody asked for, then if he finally gets a production line created he’ll change the prices and offer less of a product in the final iteration, while claiming the cheaper model come will later. It feels like a very predictable cycle at this point

Narrator: “It wasn’t.”

Flying monkeys will be coming out off my butthole first Elon.

Would Sodium batteries count as (sea)water to make you fully right! 👍

Ivermectin has what the plants crave. It has electrolytes!

They will drop a Tesla from a helicopter at 8 km altitude like in Top Gear. Then we can watch a magnificent explosion when the batteries explode on impact.

He is so absolutely full of crap

He managed to fry a banana on a suborbital hop

Yeah. Those doors and windows are choices that were made and approved. Why they didn't just follow suit is beyond me.

is it fuck.

Roadster 2012 still waiting. Roadster Gen 2 2017 still waiting. Roadster Flying 2025 --> waiting how long?

If it happens, which I think the vast majority know it won't, it won't actually 'fly'. Judging how Musk has talked about the 'new' tech, it may hover. What's the point? It's just bling for bling's sake. This is hilarious stuff!

Unfortunately the word "demo" leaves a lot of room for bullshit. All he has to do is "levitate" for 2 s and people will be amazed. Even if its not moving at the time and probably on wires, they'll be amazed.

\[releases car from helicopter\] Elon: ”And now you’ll see our unpaid intern Kevin, who’s in the car, fire up the anti-gravity engines and gracefully zoom away from what would have been a catastrophic crash…”” \[car drops straight down, crashes & explodes\] ”Uh Kevin?” \[later at press conferenc\] ”As god as my witness - I thought cars could fly. But mostly, I blame Kevin.”

Maybe he'll just launch it into space and call it flying?

https://elonmusk.today/

He didn’t say it would be a positive revolution.

Here we are not able to afford healthcare, mass layoffs, government workers not getting paid, and poor people not sure if they will get foods stamps so they don’t starve but we can buy flying cars soon. Fuck these billionaires.

lol meanwhile Cathie Wood will call for Tesla price to $1000 and keep dumping shares while it’s hot.

He's going to strap a rocket booster to it and jump the Grand Canyon like Evel Knievel?

One of Tesla's competitors in the robotics field is Figure AI, a company who's founder also founded Archer Aviation. I wonder if this is Elmo lashing out at anything that might be more 'genius of the world' than him. That or his mind is so ket-fried he honestly believes he can just will Tesla into competing in the eVTOL space.

Musk was PAID to land a crewed craft on the Moon in 2026.

I called the "orbital elevator to Uranus" Musk project. I bet it will be a thing he promises.

As long as one doesn't expect to arrive alive, and the passenger still get all the blame, Tesla can deliver today.

No, it’s not.

It’s going to be called “The Unicorn” and it’s coming “next year”

OceanGate I'm sure will sell Musk a design for cheap to accelerate development.

*lie to his costumers.

Imagine a flying car, paired with that incredible Tesla “full self driving technology”, what could possibly go wrong..

He actually thinks people believe he is building a flying car? There is currently ZERO tech to incorporate into a flying car. Not to mention an actual flying car (think George Jetson) serves zero purpose, other than to punch up the stock price again with empty promises of magical tech.

This is again part of lies which intent is pumping stock according to 1 trillion deal?

Physics is a cruel mistress. Starship is too big, too heavy and to Musk-y to actually work as intended. The Saturn V system worked because 90% of it was expendable.

Lmfao

FSF (full self flying) (supervised) will take care of all that, along with AI air traffic control. One of the reasons I don't air travel is the feeling of lack of control. Zipping around in my own personal flying coffin does not appeal to me in the slightest.

Conman

Meanwhile Europe is developing a self-driving AI-guided military convoy, which though still in early testing stages but it will be done before the Tesla semi, no doubt… https://united24media.com/latest-news/europe-rolls-out-first-drone-proof-military-convoy-with-no-drivers-13046 https://defence-blog.com/spain-unveils-europes-first-autonomous-military-convoy/?amp

The absolute donkey thinks that putting the tesla in Tulsa King and Always Sunny in Philadelphia are going to change perceptions on what a fucking tool he is.

I really hope that shareholders are smart enough to deny him that pay package....

You need a pilot’s license in the US to fly anything heavier than 254 lbs unloaded **or** can carry a passenger. The “flying cars” thing was always hopium: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultralight_aircraft_in_the_United_States

It’s barely delivering on cars now. If it weren’t for the insane cult, Tesla would be well on its way to being more BlackBerry than Apple.

All he has to do is pay Joby to slap a Tesla logo on one of their aircrafts and the stock will go up %20. Dumbest stock of all time.

It seems like transparent lying gradually changes into dementia.

I’m convinced anyone can demo anything at least 1 time! But does they make it a thing? No!!! Elon demoed battery swaps and those aren’t a thing!! I guess we can assume this won’t be a thing either?

😂 it is hilarious

they just need to find 10,000 feet worth of crafting wire and fishing line first. Also a really busy background that makes it hard to see things from a few dozen feet away.

They are \*supposedly\* going to launch one into space like they've done before. Floating in the void of space though is not flying.

Love the rare WKRP reference!

Last year actually but next year is when he'll have a time machine to return to last year.

So I checked and law as well as logic says it’s pure vaporwear: Only people with pilot’s licenses will be able to fly it in the US, because to qualify as an “ultralight” the FAA says it can’t carry passengers and has to weigh under 254 lbs unloaded. Europe allows bigger ones, up to 1042 lbs empty with a parachute/992 lbs without one, but that would be a very tiny car and few there would buy a Tesla ultralight now—plus they’re a subclass of airplanes so need a license. Britain allows a passenger and no pilot’s license but the ultralight has to weigh less than 165 lbs unloaded and flyer must still obey “the rules of the air (plus see above re popularity, especially now Musk is over there calling on their far-right sausage-roll-stealing wannabe Blackshirts to overthrow the government) Canada’s rules are more complicated but no battery-powered car will fit in any of them, plus see above re pro-Russian Nazi Americanized expats… Meanwhile Europe has already started testing—and a public demonstration— of an autonomous military convoy system…Tesla FSD semi when? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultralight_aviation

We've reviewed the logs and the autopilot had been disabled, so this failure is entirely on Kevin.

If it’s anything like his rockets, I’ll pass.

Therefore NASA should demand a full refund for breach of contract or sue for that plus punitive damages caused by the huge setbacks.

My bet is a Tesla branded passenger eVOTL because those are getting developed elsewhere. Getting regulatory approval will be tricky.

Ngl if I were Musk I'd just come out with more and more ridiculous shit, to see what the credulity breaking point is. I mean, why not?

Ketamine is a hell of a drug.

Please stop the crap, elmo

I. Two weeks, TACO

Well at least it flew briefly.

He also said he'd have humans on Mars in ten years. Eleven years ago.

Yes, of course, the flying Pigs demo

He had too much ketamine that day. Or it's just another "pump my stock" request. Maybe both ?

It wasn't earlier than that? I really thought he had been chilling that for over a decade now.

He said so many things it’s hard to keep track, so there‘s this neat website https://elonmusk.today/

Finally figured out quantum locking?

Riiiiiight

Yea, Yea, Yea! Still waiting on everything else he’s promised, How about you ?

[I imagine it’s going to go something like this.](https://youtu.be/uW63KKSUyU4?si=SM1CRnX1UFeu7wA6)

So the company that makes the best selling car in the world is somehow barely delivering on cars 🤔

Is there even a market for flying cars?

Remember when he bragged about cyber taxis…. Stock holders are basically enablers of his ketamine fueled illusions to pump his stock.

So basically Howard Stark in Captain America.

He may be the best snake oil salesman ever

Show me the numbers.

[deleted]

Working off memory... They announced ap2/full self driving with the model 3 in 2016, and I believe said something about a coast to coast driverless trip by the end of next year.

Haha, this guy and Trump have been palling around around a little too much lately.

HAHAHA AHAHHAAH HHAHAHAHAHH HAHAAHAHAHH!!! *gasp HAAHAHHHHAHAHHAAH AHAHHAH HAHAHAAAHAHAHAHAHHAA!!!!!!!1111!!@@@@!!11!!!

My Tesla drives citizens around at night as a taxi while I sleep, bringing in extra income for me. It’s been doing this for years! Crazy, right!?

Needs something to throw out when he asks for more money next time.

Sure

Sure, Jan

I want to see him fly it first

That’s not flying, it’s gliding with style.

You are… about a year too late on tour statement They haven’t been a bestseller for whole 2025

Gonna Bo and Luke Duke/Thelma & Louise it.

And ketamine - don’t forget the ketamine.

People just sucking his bullshit down. Maybe he only needs a 10 bajillion dollar pay package to make this work. 🙄

those dorks cant even make a metal truck that shit doesnt fly off of, now theyre teasing a flying car? so dumb.

Do people still believe this grifter? Insane!

🎯

We just be handing the keys over to our AI overlords.

I do not believe a word he says, ever. I’m willing to be proven wrong.. but it rarely happens, because he’s so full of shit.

FSD can't make proper left hand turns, but sure...

The trouble is that it's going to get reported regardless. So they're better off debunking.

So instead of updating Tesla’s dated, existing lineup, he’ll put out another expensive, niche model, with limited customers. Then he’ll talk about robots and the stock will go up.

He misspelled “lying”.

Currently trading at $469/share. Someone help explain why.

Fly right out his butt.

it can but it will happily run over every pothole and ladder in the road on the way.

she's mastered the pump cycle yes, unload at top, add at bottom

Yeah, it's either going to be for very rich people only or he's going to pretend that as it's self piloting (at some point in the future) new legislation will make it viable soon... The first is kinda feasible but that means it'll be the second.

Is that a euphemism for his drug usage? 😜

Aren't we still waiting for the full self driving mode? Any day now?

So investors and the market were hoping for a budget model. Elon listened and his response - a flying car. One of these had mass market potential, the other not so much...

Toyota sells 6x more cars than Tesla. Because Tesla only has a few models, it looks like a lot by model, however in total numbers no. Also it’s very difficult to have different cars that sell for a profit : vans pickups sedans coupes hybrids evs suvs… consider also that Toyota has implemented country specific models and variations, it’s a huge technological advantage, they can only win long term.

Well, we've had flying boats for about a hundred years and I don't think anyone has got very rich from selling them.

All cars can fly. The save landing is the tricky thing.

Slightly less of a market than there is for pointless robots that can do anything a human can, slower and worse whilst controlled remotely by an intern who could just pass you the can of coke himself, or for allowing unsupervised strangers who've drunk so much they have no bladder control to use your car in the middle of the night, while you sleep.

Oh the demo is coming FOR SURE. ... now will it release to the public in the timeline he announces in the original configuration as the demo? DOUBT.

Except the people in it won't be the only people it takes out.

Let me guess, it will be available by the end of the year too 🙄

To paraphrase Mr Carlson, as God is my witness, I thought Roadsters could fly!

In 2018, he promised to send people to Mars in 2024.

Lmao they can’t even release a regular Roadster and now he says a flying one is coming? Sure Jan

Falling with Style !

I am still in awe of the cybertruck reveal years later. Can the people's hero do no wrong in the eyes of the faithful?

At some Point his smoke and mirrors salesman routine is going to Implode. Or crash like his Tesla robotaxis in Texas.

not to mention children

Riiiiiiigt …… Suuuuuuurre …… ok 👌

More grandiose talk in hopes to retain shareholder money, and it will work becuase ppl are stupid

Two weeks ago I predicted to a friend he would claim flying car development. He is just looking at sci-fi and selling a fake future to his fan base to keep the stock up. Surprised he hasn’t mentioned FTL for SpaceX

Sure... it is coming, probably just after Full Self Driving arrives, or... well, given that there is a 40k character limit to a post, there isn't space to cover all of Musk's promises that are well overdue. Instead, let's look at his actual claim: There have only been a few cars that have used this very effective method of creating downforce (mostly because it was so effective back on the Jim Hall first attempt). But it comes with some trade=offs, as it takes quite a bit of power, and compromises elements in how the car's layout... that is, while it can work well in a car designed for nothing other than one person and maximum speed, it becomes less practical when you start wanting to add cabin and cargo space. That said, based on what it out there right now, we've seen such a system create about 4400 pounds of downforce, which could be enough to levitate a car... if the car were light enough (Probably need to be a good bit under that figure), and the lay out of the fans was such to provide even lift; since when used for downforce, this piece is much less important (and would be even more compromised by the need for passenger space and such). Realistically, it seems more of a question IF there will ever actually be a new Tesla Roadster, rather than if it will be able to fly. But, it is at least possible with the existing technology... though, until today, there had been no hint that siich technology was planned for the new Roadster, making it seem less likely to appear any time soon? So while this seems highly unlikely and a problematic tech to implement, it does seem some plausible than many of his claims. Real world expectation would be that there will be some sort of demo video produced (like the auto-pilot one), and then a produce will be rolled out that can't do anything even close to what was shown.

Maybe just buy some Xpeng flying cars and repaint the logo? What's the business use case anyways?

There actually are people involved remotely in the guidance of the lead truck per the article, so it’s not FSD, but like Ukraine does with their various unmanned vehicles, they’re using AI to scan the terrain and spot obstacles & anomalies, which is what it can be good at. But that of course will give more usable data to improve the models, so…

He’s no Wernher von Braun—he was boosted into his NASA role as figurehead by Rep Rohrabacher, old Putin buddy and Erik Prince mentor, and real engineers did/do all the work.

You mean ignoring arsonists and saboteurs doesn’t work?? /s

at one point i binge watched utube on various air disasters including small planes. flying isn't the same as driving. even the most seasoned pilots including one acknowledged expert with own youtube videos died from these accidents. i doubt that there is even technology (ai or no ai) that can prevent these issues. in other words i predict flying cars will be a niche product and masses will not adopt

🎯

For some reason I just don't believe him. He's usually such an honest fellow I am just not sure he will deliver on this.

You can’t set them down on US roadways either—some kid with a giant hover drone just found that out

On to the next con. No one in their investment circle has any memory of the last con....? Its all so strange that no one wants to hold him accountable.

Trebuchet. They've already been proven capable of tossing cars significant distances. However, Elon will have to rename it something that sounds cool to a twelve year old edgelord. Like HyperChet Flying Boost Assistant.

Sam Altman struck a nerve lol.  Troll got trolled

You left out the part where half a dozen other companies will already have functional eVTOL products on the market that exceed Elon's original performance claims. But media will endlessly hype how revolutionary Tesla tech is.

I do not know why this statistic is being repeated today. It's not 2022 or 2023 anymore. The Rav4 was the best selling vehicle (US and globally) in 2024.

I don't know if he is, but what's true is that most people have become a lot dumber over the past 25 years. Somehow the internet - an enormous source of free information - have actually made everyone dumber.

It will be a guy in a lycra roadster suit jumping from a plane.

It will be delayed indefinitely due to regulatory concerns.

I am leaning on that too just because I think they will want something that does something and that is the easiest to do in a short time. I also think it being a completely fake gimmick is possible.

Dont forget trucks

Just like how he said FSD was coming a decade ago

Working hard for that 1 billion dollars package approval

Don’t worry, it’s coming to all teslas, with just a simple software update.

> Meanwhile Europe is developing a self-driving AI-guided military convoy, which though still in early testing stages but it will be done before the Tesla semi Someone else will have people on the moon before the Tesla semi is done.

> FSF (full self flying) (supervised) will take care of all that To be fair, for a sane company, FSF would be fairly easy. Planes have had it for decades. >along with AI air traffic control I can't even imagine how this would be.

Jesus fucking Christ people have been waiting for a Tesla super car for decades JUST MAKE THE FUCKING CAR STOP WITH THIS BULLSHIT

Elon musk makes vapor ware fly

"Bird 1 6 5. Ney York International doesn't have a runway 6 9 L. Please confirm." "You are absolutely right Bird Squash Five. You are cleared to land on 6 9 L. Descend to 3 0 thousand expedite."

Musk needs to promise increasingly impossible promises to keep stock going up.

When are the working windshield wipers on the model Y coming I wonder.

Actually they drive on water

Tesla is doing incredibly well, like handful of most successful companies of all time based on stock performance over the last 15 years  How did he drive it off a cliff?

Is it going to land or not?

I have a Tesla with FSD and a 2.5 hour commute. A few years ago I would have thought this was impossible. It really makes the drive incredibly nice. Elon promises big and most the time he misses but if he comes close it still feels pretty wild

Aha. The bullshit this guy spins is unreal, and the gullibility of people is actually astounding

Their robotics program just started a few years ago lol and FSD absolutely works, you clearly haven’t tried it.

Teslas are consistently ranked with the highest safety ratings. Wtf is this delusional sub🤣

SpaceX doesn’t even profit off of promises for Mars lol they deliver 90% of earth’s satellites to space because they built the most effective rockets. This entire sub is completely delusional🤣🤣

I imagine it will be some dumb stunt like racing a jet aircraft or similar. The same sort of BS they did with the Cybertruck vs a Porsche.

None of the above. He won’t follow up on this in any meaningful way but to keep saying it every once in a while.

https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/tesla-highest-rate-deadly-accidents-study-1235176092/

The study emphasizes that this doesn’t mean Teslas aren’t safe. It’s all how the data is framed. This study found that accidents in a Tesla are one of the least likely to result in fatal injury: https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-least-likely-involved-fatal-accidents-study/?utm_source=chatgpt.com

"Yes, we used cables in the demo, but we are about 6 months out from having the liquid-cooled thrusters ready for production."

When he does drugs he thinks he's on Mars so it counts. He's been visiting it for a decade already.

Shareholders are voting on his 1 trillion dollar salary soon so he's kicking up bullshit tweets into overdrive.

Looking forward to the mkbhd review!

It will have to fly because safe terrestrial FSD in widespread use is still so far away from being possible for Tesla.

If you want to invest in a car related company, may I suggest Rolls Royce. I am aware the car and aerospace division are separate, like Tesla and his rocket company. However RR does what tesla doesn’t. Make la great cars and also great aerospace products? Is that Tesla and SpaceX? Nope it’s roll rolls Royce

They’re still alive, so clearly they’re not using it.

Yeah but they’d be popular in Mar a Lago

That is unrealistic, he would not name the intern

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha 😃😆🤣😁. Who are these people who believe him???

Oh I think it is a good thing but we might not be saying that in 200 years.

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cFTlx68itk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cFTlx68itk) Looks like the promises started in 2019

It's scheduled for just before the rapture. It's almost time! Hold on to your butts!

He also said, "trust me bro, I'm just trying to push the share price up so I can get my $1 trillion"

Concept cars aren't real vehicles.

From the guy who didn't deliver tunnels, hyper loops, semis...

Turns out nobody else needed to learn "don't attach parts of your truck with tape" via experiment

I know you all have the same burning question... Will it utilize LIDAR? /s

This may top the cybertruck in awesomeness!

This time it will just be an intern in an Optimus gimp suit driving off a literal cliff.

Nonsense. A reaction to the roadster cancelation.

i lost whatever respect i had for this shitass person

Fingers crossed that he’s the test pilot.

Pump my stock. He has to do whatever to get that trillion dollar payout

How has he helped revolutionize space travel? We've been traveling to space since the 60s. The only money he's put into starship is the govt money. Put down the pompoms bro

NOOO!!!!! This again, Is Tesla on the verge of bankruptcy or something? What happened? The flying Roadster is the dumbest prank from a decade ago. . . Kids in elementary school during the reveal, are now preparing to take the MCAT. . . Seriously people just want to feel the same way about Elon and Tesla today as they felt when we all had our first ride in a Model S or Model 3 performance and thought "Wow, Elon is a genius". But since then, he moved on to talking about software coding and medicine . . . and while I don't know much about rockets, batteries, and electric engines . . . I know enough about software to know he doesn't know much. After leaving my software development job I went to Medical School, His claims about Neuralink, Covid-19, Chloroquine, BiPaP to replace ventilators, etc. . . . I am positive he doesn't know anything about Neuralink.

Or that millions of Teslas would be driving around on their own this year. Oops, that was back in 2017

?? Wasn't Daddy Stark a legit supergenius? I must rematch that movie

Elon searching for "highest clip in the world that has a road on the top side"

He obviously ment the wallmart isle with mars bars, not the planet /s

Does "on the back of a tow truck" count?

The Aussies got you covered: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6lQia3Zv94](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6lQia3Zv94)

Not very good at navigating or flying, the range sucks and you get explosions on most landings. Let's call the design the "V-1 Flying Bomb".

"he finally gets a production line"... nah, if he ever gets to a "working" design, he would "love to produce it, but the regulators and lawmakers are currently blocking us because they don't understand our incredible safe technology" or something along those lines. Of course, only after he he realizes that the product would be much more expensive, and pluck the pre-order suckers for additional fees to keep their place in the pre-order list.

Or other companies have failed, because of strict airspace safety laws. Plus far too few people having a valid pilots license AND are interested in buying a contraption that has no way to land safely if there is an engine problem...

Just because all of their products are unfixable piles of garbage, doesn't mean their next one will be, too /s

The taxis are so cyber, they ONLY exist on the internet ;-)

Now the board is saying that they can’t make Elon work full-time a day before the vote after they blew smoke up everybody’s ass how because he’s got many other companies I can guarantee you if this passes you won’t hear another thing about roadster or flying cars until it’s necessary to stop the stock from tanking

He's throwing old shit at the wall for the investor vote coming up.

More vaporware… fucking roadster isn’t even close to production. Just a company and ceo that’s full of shit

Or released from a Falcon 9..."unforgettable"

Nah, that's salt water, completely different to water. We all know Elon hates hydrogen.

The lying fraud lies again? How can that be?

This is about as meaningful as Snoop Dogg “giving up smoking“. (It was a sales pitch for some stove that nobody remembers.)

I'm reminded of that scene from IronMan 2, where Justin Hammer's test of a super-suit almost kills the pilot wearing it.

A snake oil salesman who has single-handedly revolutionized space flight, electric vehicles, and neurotechnology. 😂 Hate him for his politics all you want, and I don’t even disagree, but to say he’s a snake oil salesman is about as disingenuous as it gets.
