yes, jetpacks use that. To lift a single human body weight is practical.
But to lift an electric car that's even heavier with lithium battery packs is impossible. You would need hundreds of them to generate enough lift to even levitate a car.
All it does is cushion the fall even with multiple thrusters.
First, it was a race. Whose racing to be the first to make car go boing?
Secondly the moon has enabled tons of scientific research. Moon rocks and dust, experiments done on the moon and in zero gravity. So much that has helped humanity
Why are you shellacking Elon for this? Youâre convincing yourself youâre not trying to convince us you know this. Youâre just trying to reenforce your own personality here. You can be an adult and unbiased say two things
It was a cool as thing. So are monster trucks. Cool ass shit. I never said it wasnât cool. Itâs cool.
Would you drive a monster truck? Does a monster truck wow anyone on the highway? Are they considered peak engineering?
car is too heavy, even worse with electric car battery packs - known to be the heaviest thing compared to conventional cars.
For a single human, it already exists and works.
To call this innovation is using the words loosely, has it been done before in car before? No. Has compressed air been used to create lift? Yes. This is old technology used in a pretty useless way, hardly innovative
Who cares? There's lots of concept cars that aren't street legal. They're just cool and sometimes innovative. Isn't that enough? Oh, of course it's not. Bitching and moaning about Musk is way more important.
This is not pushing engineering or innovation. Engineers already knew what would happen if you put thrusters on a car... But keep on sucking nazi elon dick
imagine calling someone "simple" while defending that something new may have uses even if those are not the intended or obvious ones... the simple people are the ones simply dismissing it as complete waste of time before even trying to think about it.

God forbid some company makes a cool flying car
Edit: y'all really make powder kegs outta nothing
