That 5 seconds of "flying" you saw is about all it can do. A vehicle that size is burning through propellant very fast. Nobody is going to be air-commuting to work in one of these.
I don't understand this fixation with it not being a real stunt
Making a car do a flip is hardly the most difficult thing the spacex guys have ever done. Remember these are the guys who put the previous roadster in space with a rocket that landed itself in 3 parts, and they're now consistently catching the biggest and most powerful sex toy ever built out of the air using 3 gimballing thrusters and a big tower with 2 metal arms.
it's vaporware, it will never be on the roads or in the hands of consumers, and it's not a complete car, just a show car, but it makes no sense for them to not just do the stunt at full scale
