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.

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.

People are weird about Elon and think they'll sell a car that jumps for some reason.
