How much fucking money was deposited to make a piece of shit car fly for a couple of seconds that could have changed many many lives makes me sick. Fuck this timeline and fuck that musk gooch
What you clearly don't understand is that the spectacle is what leads to further innovation. Going to the moon had fuck all purpose other than just being able to say that we did it and the Russians didn't. But our space program gave us GPS, cordless powertools, chemical-free water sanitization, digital signal processing, and the CMOS sensors sitting in your phone right now, among many other things.
Similarly, if we can pack things into a car that can keep it upright midair or even slow it's descent, we save lives in some otherwise very nasty crashes. Is this exact mechanism that Elon demonstrated what's going to do it? No, but we've now seen that it's possible and further work can be done to make it more practical.

How many crashes actually launch a car in the air?
How many of those crashes launch the car in a normal trajectory that can be controlled?
How many of those crashes where the car is launched in the air in a well-behaving trajectory have the luggage perfectly balanced and tied so that the application of thrusters is actually viable?
How much damage will the thrusters do to everything around them while trying (and utterly failing) to stabilize it?
How many of those crashes where...well you know by now...have a perfect empty landing strip (or really, any suitable space at all) behind it where they can "land" the car?
Go find a tissue and wipe that Elon spunk from your face, it's disgusting. And think a little before opening the mouth again.
Well it turns out I hit it here right in the beginning.
So now it's not about stabilizing a car launched, but rolling, where the floor is the major force affecting the trajectory. So your solution to avoid rolling on the floor is LAUNCHING THE CAR IN THE AIR and stabilizing it there (I hope you can see why firing thrusters on a car rolling on or near the floor does not work). Totally sane and safe idea.
I value my neurons too much to let them self destruct by continuing such an idiotic Elon-fan discussion
Call me once this is a viable product. Actually, call me once FSD is, it's still 12 years late from announcing.
Yes, turns out when something wants to go one way (because momentum is carrying it towards rolling), you can provide enough force to stop it from doing that, which is infinitely more safe than allowing a 2-ton chunk of metal and glass to fly all over the road.
Yes, please stop wasting your neurons fantasizing about Elon getting blowjobs. It's really weird, even for a fan such as yourself.
