I mean, isn’t that just a shell that he jumped? It was pretty much just a stunt drone, correct? There’s nothing about it except for the shape.

Absolutely a shell RC. Probably had most of its batteries removed as well. If this was anything more than a publicity stunt, they would have shown the interior and given a tour of the build. We would have seen a driver get out of the car, too. And this will never see a roadway with a dozen high pressure canisters stashed away in all the crash impact zones.

I told my husband it was basically a magic show. It’s all an illusion.

Yeah, electric car engines are usually even heavier than gas powered engines, no way in hell a full electric car is getting airborne like that.

That I don't know. It could in theory be done with a real car. Daredevils and stunt drivers have done worse.

Everyone here keeps saying that but there's zero proof. We saw it drive, we saw it stick to a (beyond) vertical wall. It definitely has car parts (drive unit, battery) and the fan system (which requires a hefty battery). It's possible (likely) they used a cut-down battery and stripped interior to reduce weight.

As an engineer, it's absolutely impressive, and absolutely useless (as anything other than a neat demo)
