It’s hard explaining things to stupid people.

A) Elon had no hand in inventing that

B) Making cars fly wasn’t the hard part. Flying vehicles have been a thing for a long time. The hard part is integrating them into a society that struggles enough with land and sea vehicles.

Also: tesla didnt really show a flying car. It showed a car that can alter its course while mid-air. Im not sure how that solves any problem. It looks cool, not gonna lie, thats probably the only reason it exists.

That system needs 600litre compressed gas. Thats a lot of extra weight that wont be used by anyone. And I cant find any source that says if or how long it could fly with this system. Add to that, that you cant just fill it up at a gas station.

Literally the only actual use I can think of, is that these thrusters can be used to accelerate the car. For that you can get a reduced system that only has thrusters in the back of the car and a smaller gas tank.
