All of the things this car can do (use of compressed-air jets, downforce suction, etc) are things that already exist and have no place on a road car. This was a gimmick. 

Which, fine, marketing. We're just all sick of Elon's marketing shtick at this point.

The light bulb was just a vacuum glass (which anyone can do) and a carbon filament (which already existed)
