It was on german news yesterday, nobody said AI, but even if its real: A quick stunt is one thing but you won't even be able to do this a few times in a row without a refill.
It's a purpose built stunt car that weighs a tiny fraction of a real car. No one will ever drive that car outside of a stunt track. They're using the same tricks as energy drink companies to artificially pump the stock price in spite of the fact that Tesla revenue is flat.
I knew a ton of people who worked in Lights Motors Action in Disney and got to go behind the scenes and see those stunt cars. They all look normal from the outside, but on the inside every single one of them was completely gutted outside of the specific adjustments made for each stunt.
What we saw was doable by a purpose built stunt cars but no way in hell by an actual consumer grade car with entertainment systems and ass warmers.
fun note on those specific cars - a few of them were built "backwards" internally as im sure you saw. they would do all their stunts in "reverse" in the show. but in reality the cockpit / "car" were just installed backwards inside the body. tripped me out as a kid
To make it fly we had to strip everything from it, it's just a super light carbon frame and high pressure air tanks... We also included big ass bags of helium, in the event of a crash, the explosion would have made everyone forget about Epstein either from shear awesomeness or TBI"
Honestly it could all be a scaled down verisions of a stunt car and their lineup, for some reason the way it flips seems too weightless to my eyes, something doesn't feel right
How do you know how much it weighs? Do you know how compressed gas works? Have you ever seen a potato launcher? The car can easily be launched with compressed gas. It doesn't need to weigh less. You also don't care, you just wanna say that other poster is wrong. Same as me. I live to prove you wrong.
It's a non production demo car. It's not really a stripped down version of something else because there's nothing for it to be stripped down from. But they almost certainly made the cars for the specific stunts and are as light as possible. Hell the one that does a flip doesn't look like it has rear suspension at all.
It's wild to me how many people struggle with the idea that a concept car in a marketing show might not actually provide a fully accurate representation of what's going on under the shell on a frame.
An unmodified Tesla weighs between 4000 and 5000 pounds. You are not dynamically controlling that with the size of air tanks that can fit into the existing available space. At best, they have to gut the car of everything to fit the tanks and thrusters.
Hell, the tank just for the thrust mode alone takes up the entire rear of the car on the actual drivable version.
What you can pretty easily do, however, is build a barebones frame with a car shell and mount whatever you want to it. That's what Hollywood has been doing for decades and it works great for stunt shows.
I don’t think it’s a stock pump, just a marketing exercise. The potential revenue from selling a tiny number of these is not going to affect Tesla’s revenue by anything significant.
It's blatantly obvious to any decent physicist or mechanical engineer. Despite what the some people are saying Musk didn't invent some new booster technology that defies physics.
How did you prove it was a real car?
What formula did you use, what numbers (I used 8 cause it's cool and looks like a race track), how did you get those numbers ( I found my 8 on my phone keyboard beside the 7 and 9 and over the i)
