I mean nobody buying bugatti to go at 400 kms per hour in highway either. Any hypercar is worthless but it is cool engineering, really insanely hard thing to do.

I mean yeah sure but they aren't going to let a car that can literally jump traffic be street legal

> I didn’t go through the traffic light. I went OVER the traffic light. There’s no law against that. Planes do it all the time.

It’s not jumping

It’s falling with style via thrusters

It can go up before it goes down

Far from flight but jump is accurate

It also apparently had most of its body weight removed, including the heaviest part which is the car batteries.
Whole thing is just a ruse to trick gullible investors, because he's always made his money by selling a lie to investors, not by actually turning a profit through selling products in business.

They literally mentioned it is not steet legal. It is rich people car like those bugatti, Koenigsegg, mclaren. They are also selling car with only suction that is road legal.

You can at least take said Bugatti on the street between track days.

Can't even do that shit with this.

Yes but even then. I grew up around expensive cars, and most of them just collect dust in a garage. I never got it, but it's my father's money, so if it makes him happy, good for him. To me it feels like a huge waste of money though. I usually buy the cheapest thing that gets me from A to B.

that the owners do whit them and what the car actually can do are not the same and one of them is far more relevant towards assessing the vehicle than the other.

This is a glorified hobby drone.
