Ultimately Tesla made a mistake using cameras for self driving, and actually fell behind. If you look at what it takes for Waymo to do fully self driving cars, it's got cameras and LiDAR, and a big ass AI stack, radar too.
Elon just lied and got to a decent point to inflate the stock price, position himself as some self-made genius, and never delivered. All the other car manufacturers are at roughly the same point.
He does it on everything, even if this was actually possible with current technology (it isn't, the physics just doesn't work), modern infrastructure isn't designed for flying cars, and there would need to be huge changes to infrastructure anyway.
You're not getting a flying car, and even if you were, it wouldn't come from Elon. He'll take your deposit and use it to inflate stock price without ever producing what you paid for.
Wait, is Tesla/Elon actually insinuating that the car sold to consumers will be able to do the stunts in the video? I just assumed it was check out the new car and here’s a cool video of it doing tricks for marketing reasons, via extra tech we added on
There are 2 versions with thrusters, one that has them for acceleration, and one that jumps. Apparently the jumping version is invite only, but the other one is available for $250,000.

Yeah.
