Imagine you are getting chased by the cops and use that jump button to transition to a highway over head. Or hitting that 0-60 in under 1 second boost, leaving them in a cloud. They would be gone before the smoke even cleared enough for cops to see where you went. This is the reason it will never be street legal.
Edit: I just though of another thing. Jumping over road blocks and spike strips. Imagine there are a bunch of cop cars waiting down the road, blocking the whole thing. You drive at them full speed and just when you are close enough to make them shit their pants you hit that jump button, land on the other side and hit the speed boost while they all stand there like idiots. I want a jailbroken one of these just to rage bait pigs.
yeah but do the math instead of making stuff up. the police does not use apaches and other military choppers but rather regular stuff. a google search vields MD 530F and MD 500E as two common models for the police in USA and their VNA is 282km/h or 175mph. an amd gt for example has 315km/h vmax for the 4door and 325kmh for gt black so 196 and 202mph respectively. already a bit faster than the helicopter and they are certainly not the fastest on the market. musk promised 400kmh for the roadster so itll maaaaybe reach 300 but still faster
I think what everyone is missing isn't the ridiculousness of this vehicle in the now, but it's innovations like this that are paving the way for further advancements in the future. Sure the realistic application of this is rather outlandish, but this technology is still cool to witness.
Cold gas thrusters that help excel 0-60 in under 1 second is cool for people into racing, the sucker system is great for everyday cornering. I don’t know about the flying though
Any car that has tech is basically a security issue for multiple reasons and personally I'm hanging on to my FJ cruiser and pre Chrysler Jeep.
I don't want tech in vehicles at all it's expensive and it's basically trying to fuck you at every angle.
For example the Data they get can be used against you because they sell it to insurance companies and they also want subscriptions in vehicles for shit that's already built into them.
Oh and if something happens it costs more money.
My friend has a new BMW we are in Alaska the cold killed the battery and in a normal vehicle you just replace it.
But because it's electric it's 500$ for them to replace because all the electric shit needs to be reset and it's all technical.
Like dude it's a fucking battery.
People are going to get real sick of smart thingsike fridges and coffee Makers cars etc... when they figure out how much Data is being sold on them and how expensive it is to fix it and unreliable it is.
