Also, there's nothing that impressive about a jumping stunt car. There is no practical use of it, and if it's not already illegal for road use, it should be. It's goof for promotional stunts and professional daredevils only.
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.
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)

Elon doesn't create anything. The liberals working in his companies do.
