These aren't supposed to be practical. F1 isn't about building practical machines. But the advances that come from that research end up helping everyday cars. Same goes for a lot of pro sports. None of it is "practical." Yet the research done in elite teams ends up spreading to the wider public in a less extreme form.
Elon is an asshole but bashing this for not being immediately practical is just silly.
