A flying car that can go from 0-60 in .81 seconds. Probably going to have a hard time getting it through regulatory approvals.

Yeah, that's not hitting the road .. or air above the road lol .. any time soon, but it's cool to see it actually created and working even if in a controlled environment.

Drunk and bad drivers are dangerous enough
Imagine them in flying cars?

At this stage its probably more of a concept vehicle. We probably have another generation before we see that

Of course it was .. the impressive part was what it did though and why I shared it.

The demo was amazing, but realistically how is that going to be street legal

I think most people do not understand that the demo for the flying version was conceptual and likely will never be sold to anyone.

In other words, the flying version was all about the presentation experience.

I have not read the details, but my guess is they will be selling a non-flying version of the roadster in 2027-2028 and are hoping people will put down money to reserve the non-flying version.

To me it's not the car that was impressive, but simply the flying aspect of it as that's been talked about for decades as "the future".

The fact they created it, even in a heavily planned and controlled environment, and pulled it off flawlessly was the impressive part.

Yes I understand that, I believe the “Rocket” version is invite only. I can’t believe we are seeing this as a possibility now. Amazing times.

As Woody would say, "That's not flying. That's falling with style!"

It later flew though when it flew over the vehicles in one of the other demos.
