Anybody who thinks they can magically add thrusters to a Tesla and simultaneously keep its current driving function and range, is a fucking idiot.

I guarantee you if this Tesla wasn’t just on wires, it was stripped down and didn’t have 3000 pounds of batteries.

Yeah it looked like a movie prop, and most likely used up most of it's flying range with the stunt

Well, to be fair, even if it was a fully functional car its battery wouldn't weigh anywhere near 3000 pounds.

The very idea of a flying car is incredibly stupid.

Not really, as long as it’s self navigating. Tires account for 70% of global micro plastics.

Flying cars won’t be air jets they’ll be more like a drone. There’s several companies researching “eVTOL” aircraft.
