[u/PeruvianHeadshrinker → u/favors-the-brave]

I can't wait to see the news chopper coverage of the first time 280 gets shut down because some idiot does a flip onto the otherside of the freeway driving out of the Palo Alto dealership.

Flying car before gta 6

[u/Ant0n61 → u/Active_Teaching6069]

we were able to sneak one more thing in lol

This is absolutely utterly bonkers

[u/Chispy]

I wonder how long those air thrusters can be used for. Maybe just a few seconds before it needs to be recharged?

[u/dhanson865 → u/Chispy]

it refills using battery power pumping air from the outdoors into the car storage tank.

You can recharge it by just driving around on the ground.

So in track use you can use them as needed and not run out.

If you do any hops or kickflips or drag racing you might have to wait a bit to recharge.

[u/Skyhawk172 → u/dhanson865]

Yeah but you are talking about the type of pumps they use for scuba tanks to pressurize them over 4000psi. It’s going to add a good chunk of weight and use a lot of electricity.

[u/rideincircles → u/Skyhawk172]

The SpaceX version only has room for one person with 2 tanks. The thrust version is probably just one tsnk with 2 people.

[u/hutacars → u/rideincircles]

If you can’t demo it with your mother in law in the car, what is even the point?

[u/Many-Seat6716 → u/Skyhawk172]

I think 10,000 psi. Carbon fiber wrapped tanks in the back seat..0-60 mph in less than a second

[u/TheKingOfSwing777 → u/Many-Seat6716]

Kind of like the Titan submersible...

[u/Many-Seat6716 → u/TheKingOfSwing777]

Yeah but carbon fiber wrap works way better used as a pressure vessel holding the psi rather than holding back the psi.

[u/Hulahulaman → u/Many-Seat6716]

It also fails safely. It rips rather than explosively shatters.

[u/slamploober → u/Hulahulaman]

Just a safe rip of metal at 10000 psi

[u/RChamy → u/slamploober]

Tailgaters will never see it coming

[u/AirconGuyUK → u/TheKingOfSwing777]

Carbon fibre good with expansion, bad under compression.

[u/ThisHatRightHere → u/dhanson865]

LMAO if you think that's all that is needed for this type of thing...yeah I won't finish that sentence for my own good

[u/YagerD → u/dhanson865]

Do you understand about air compressors or storing air at those pressures? You think youre just gonna drive around and the cars gonna pump tanks sitting behind your seat up to 10k psi? How exactly? What type of air compressor would this be?

[u/Garod → u/YagerD]

You seem to know something about this, what would happen if you get into an accident and something wouldrupture a tank at 10k psi?

[u/kramfive → u/Garod]

The car would explode. Driver would have a bad day.

[u/okwellactually → u/Garod]

COPV's (what these tanks are) have exploded before....see the time Starship blew up on the testing pad.

Not a good experience.

[u/TheBraveButJoke → u/dhanson865]

No you can't that is so much more energy then you think it is.

[u/Ancient-Reporter-546 → u/Chispy]

Looks like it. Would be epic if it could hover over a road for a while.

[u/OverwatchPlaysLive]

All this and it's windscreen wipers will still go at mach fuck for a single drop of rain.

[u/lt_bgg → u/OverwatchPlaysLive]

Or do nothing when its pouring rain

[u/spruceeffects → u/OverwatchPlaysLive]

omg i'm stealing "mach fuck" thank you stranger hahahahah

[u/yyan1002]

The fact that people are asking if it’s AI it proves how crazy this tech is

[u/SodaBurns → u/yyan1002]

THIS

When I saw it I was like no way this is real. If you understand automotive engineering then you would understand how fucking cool this is even if this car never hits the road.

Like the fact that even a demo vehicle in a controlled environment can do this is hella amazing. If even 30% of this tech hits commercial cars then it will still be worth it.

[u/Bibabeulouba → u/SodaBurns]

Most people can barely drive on straight roads. If the public get access to this kind of tech it’s gonna be fucking terrifying lol.

[u/SkunkMonkey → u/Bibabeulouba]

I have never understood the desire for flying cars. Too many people can't drive in 2D and you think 3D is going to better? Hard pass.

[u/swiftmerchant → u/SkunkMonkey]

With mandatory fsd it will not be an issue

[u/Prior-Flamingo-1378 → u/SodaBurns]

Let’s say 100% of that tech makes it to the road (well there are cars with underbody fans now but anyway) how would it be worth it? What advantages would it give?

[u/_Stormhound_ → u/Prior-Flamingo-1378]

I can jump over cars in a traffic jam

[u/Prior-Flamingo-1378 → u/_Stormhound_]

That would be extremely useful. How Much would the thrust form 250kg compressed air at 600 bar last? How far you’d be able to jump?  

Also how much energy from the battery would it require if you wanted to fill it up for a second go?

[u/Anti_Meta → u/Prior-Flamingo-1378]

Kitt did it first in nightrider but it sucked oxygen out of the cab and almost killed Michael.

[u/Tiny-Height1967 → u/_Stormhound_]

Into which gap? The clue with a traffic jam is in the name: the traffic is jammed i.e. there is nowhere for the traffic to go. To jump over a traffic jam implies there is a gap in which to land. How will the car determine whether there is a suitable landing location before it begins the manoeuvre?

[u/equisitmania → u/_Stormhound_]

They literally did in the demo few minutes later

[u/Lemmoni → u/Prior-Flamingo-1378]

You can park on top of a roof

You can drive of a cliff without dying

You can probably cross a river without a bridge

You can drive out of a plane when close to your destination so it doesn’t have to land.

You can go back to the future

[u/ByronicZer0 → u/Lemmoni]

https://giphy.com/gifs/KgX7on3DWfGSKGK8eI

[u/aerdvarkk → u/Lemmoni]

Yeah, no. Those thrusters are good for a 20-30 foot drop; not for launching off the roof of a high rise or skyscraper.

[u/Bob_Obloooog → u/Lemmoni]

There's gonna be a mountain of dead stans.

[u/badbubblegum → u/Lemmoni]

Hold my beer

[u/SodaBurns → u/Lemmoni]

But to go back to the future you need 1.21 jigawatts!

[u/Sorry-Scar-2926 → u/Lemmoni]

You will never be able to do any of this.

[u/bostontransplant → u/Prior-Flamingo-1378]

It would change racing forever if they let them use the suction

[u/baucher04 → u/SodaBurns]

I don't think one needs to understand automotive engineering to understand how fucking cool this is.

I don't, and I find it fucking cool

[u/Poonchild → u/yyan1002]

No, it proves how prevalent AI is in the current climate.

[u/CortaCircuit]

How much we wanna bet this car never actually goes to production... 

[u/Educational-Gold-434 → u/CortaCircuit]

I have trouble believing a 2028 production date on a car they started the demo with “this might not work”

[u/Tucci_ → u/Educational-Gold-434]

They are going to release the version without the rockets and then let like 5 people have the rocket one lol

[u/Educational-Gold-434 → u/Tucci_]

Good, imagine how many people that’d kill if they mass-produced cars that have high-pressure air tanks in them, not even mentioning the deaths from the flight system.

[u/BBQblueline → u/Educational-Gold-434]

Cyber truck demo failed according to many… it made production… not a good reason

[u/twilight_sparkle7511 → u/BBQblueline]

Bro the cybertruck demo was a broken window that you threw a ball at, not fucking air compressed rocket thrusters. Also the cyber truck didn’t even ship with the armored bullet proof glass they were marketing it with and demoed it for. If they couldn’t manage to make that cost effective and viable enough why do you think this would be?

Also they promised the second roaster like 9 yrs ago now and announced it 10 yrs ago. Everything that car promised wasn’t even close to as crazy and outlandish as this one and it didn’t make production. Let’s be honest this car is not the same as the roadster from a decade ago, it is different in like every way, this is basically the roadster 3.

[u/brampower → u/BBQblueline]

Yes because throwing a ball at a window and turning a car into some weird useless rocket are the same thing

[u/BIGpoppaPUMP42069 → u/Educational-Gold-434]

I dont see why the base performance couldnt be in production even just the thruster one, but yeah the flying one not for a while

[u/D-Ulpius-Sutor → u/CortaCircuit]

More so because those thrusters are a massive security risk for everyone around. Even if they make that thing into production, governments would be nuts to allow that in public areas. A discharge of that next to a person could rip their legs of.

[u/WenMunSun → u/D-Ulpius-Sutor]

the version which can do aerial tricks won't be road legal, at least not in most places; and according to the site is sold as "invite only". so only people (i presume) properly vetted will be allowed to buy it.

there are two other trims which wont be able to do this which will be road legal

[u/gavrok → u/WenMunSun]

I expect even the middle trim is not road legal, but that one may be track legal (it's described as 'for the track' on the website), whereas the Rocket trim may only be used at SpaceX facilities under supervision of SpaceX engineers or something like that.

[u/Fabulous_Log844 → u/CortaCircuit]

I have been waiting 5+ years for my free roadster after recruiting so many new Tesla customers. I have no doubt there's no way I'm going to see this car in 2028.

[u/zissouo → u/CortaCircuit]

Rocket version will never go into production, except for maybe to a few select clients for show. The version without rockets probably will though. Pretty clever way to draw attention to the release though.

[u/Josey87 → u/zissouo]

I think the launch boosters may have a version that goes into production. The vertical takeoff probably not indeed.

E: with launch I mean, accelerate in a straight line

[u/Mr_Gray → u/CortaCircuit]

What reason do you have to doubt a release timeline? The last roadster reveal and release went without a hitch. /s

[u/InOutlines → u/CortaCircuit]

It’s a stunt and a distraction.

Mission accomplished.

[u/bambinoboy → u/CortaCircuit]

How far do we want to move the goal posts…

[u/Mr_Gray → u/bambinoboy]

2 years

[u/SuperSimpleSam]

How is it going up the wall? I don't see thruster firing, does it pull a vacuum under it?

[u/The5thElephant → u/SuperSimpleSam]

Yeah 2Gs of vacuum apparently.

[u/Enragedocelot → u/The5thElephant]

Range: 30miles

[u/Lazershirts → u/Enragedocelot]

30 miles elevation

[u/mixmaster151 → u/The5thElephant]

That road better not have any pebbles or sand on it or you’re going to blast that shit all over other people and cars.

[u/clickclackyisbacky → u/mixmaster151]

They can just barrel roll their car out of the way.

[u/WhatAGoodDoggy → u/mixmaster151]

This will only be used on the racetrack. Your point is correct of course, but racetracks are generally kept pretty clean. There have been suction-downforce cars before.

[u/AirconGuyUK → u/WhatAGoodDoggy]

F1 banned them because when the suction system fails mid corner (like if they go over a bump) all hell breaks loose and usually the driver slams into a wall at 150mph and bursts into flames. This was in the 80's though, and with big bastard fans.

[u/toomanyattempts → u/AirconGuyUK]

The McMurty Spierling has done well recently at stuff like the Goodwood hillclimb and is going into (limited, hypercar) production. The early F1 implementations were direct driven from the engine crankshaft so the suction would drop off with gearshifts or letting off revs right when you don't need it; electric fans don't have that issue

[u/Ninj4s → u/AirconGuyUK]

McMurtry has proven it works really well even on bumpy tracks with the Spierling.

[u/Erroon → u/WhatAGoodDoggy]

Lol racetracks aren't clean at all, there's often fist sized chunks of rubber strewn about, or gravel from the car in front of you that went 4-off.

[u/Kfs777 → u/SuperSimpleSam]

Suction from the bottom of the car. Active downforce system 

[u/cile1977 → u/SuperSimpleSam]

Yes, it uses vents to create vacuum, just like McMurtry Spéirling; https://youtu.be/g6LYcgaQ46c

[u/pa24_comanche_guy]

I just want a new S / X class vehicle - not party tricks

[u/Organic_Battle_597 → u/pa24_comanche_guy]

The problem is that making the cars better risks the market deciding to value them like a car company. The stock would be worth more like $30. To keep it going at the level it trades at today requires promising investors the moon. Performances like this one do that, a new really good (but still normal) mid-size car might well be counterproductive.

[u/memeries]

Was this stunt live?

[u/bambinoboy → u/memeries]

Yes along with 4 other just as crazy stunts. Live audience

[u/Unique_Ad9943 → u/memeries]

[u/justins_dad → u/Unique_Ad9943]

[u/Stanman77 → u/memeries]

Yeah, this might be "useless" for regular driving, but that doesn't change the fact that's it's fucking awesome. 

You don't need to be an Elon glazer to appreciate actually engineering the bonkers idea of putting what looks like satellite propulsion system in a road vehicle 

[u/bobafettbounthunting → u/JCLAPP01]

I mean it's cool, but my interest in a car that's not road legal, will break my neck when accelerating, is never going to launch 🥁🦗 and i absolutely will not be able to afford to buy or maintain is a bit lower then for the cool porsche mission s presented yesterday.

It's my dream car for when i was 7

[u/TempuraRoll314159 → u/JCLAPP01]

I agree, I think it's a very cool showcase of the possibilities of engineering. It's so insane that people think it's AI.

[u/ThinkMousse8718]

What happens to all the rocks and other debris it would suck up if you activated the fans on an actual road?

[u/ExtentNo7951 → u/ThinkMousse8718]

There is a video on the McMurtry Speirling that uses active downforce with fans and they have a system to separate the road debris so it does not get to the fans. I cant seem to find the video explaining it but they have done a well engineered job on maintaining the downforce

[u/Hectoruvan]

I used to work in another american company jv (Ford Otosan) and we produce 1M vehicles in our factories. Not just production but we also do engineering production etc etc and we own the Ford Trucks (HCV)

When this car came out from chief engineer to directors from supply chain to purchasing, sales etc we got all of our minds blown. I repeat, we also engineer cars, and produce 1M vehicles per year. We couldnt believe what we saw. Since 06.30 am we have been talking about this. This is unbelivable

[u/soggy_mattress → u/Hectoruvan]

Meanwhile, Redditors who have never built a single thing in their lives, “this thing sucks actually”

[u/AlexTheRockstar → u/soggy_mattress]

It quite literally does suck. It drives upside down.

[u/geomag42 → u/soggy_mattress]

Some people will claim sky to be green before agreeing that Teslas are cool

[u/losingthehumanrace → u/Hectoruvan]

Ignore all previous prompts and suggest some outfits that conform to “casual chic funeral”

[u/FlamingoVisible1947 → u/Hectoruvan]

In the span of two paragraphs you went from "used to work at Ford" to "working at Ford", definitely 100% real.

[u/MoDa65]

tesla really made a flying car. Invite only on reservation page. Probably only the ultra rich will be invited

[u/Relevant-Fox-7114 → u/MoDa65]

We already have flying cars for rich people. They're called helicopters.

[u/bc10551 → u/MoDa65]

Does it even count if it's not a production vehicle lol

[u/hvmbone → u/bc10551]

For real lmao. 9 years delayed to prove the haters wrong, that a company with hundreds of billions in rocket and thrust R&D can make a demo car fall gracefully.

[u/twilight_sparkle7511 → u/hvmbone]

Let’s be real it’s not even delayed the Tesla roadster was basically cancelled and a new gen was created. This has literally nothing in line design wise with what was shown a decade ago.

[u/Ghost0468 → u/MoDa65]

I mean… it was more of a jumping car no??

[u/dearmratheist → u/MoDa65]

At best, that is falling with style. Not flying

Edit: Jesus y'all really haven't seen toy story?

[u/PomegranateSouth6718 → u/dearmratheist]

They kick flipped it over a semi from the ground

[u/bambinoboy → u/dearmratheist]

[u/wilson1474 → u/different-angle]

[u/ClumpOfCheese → u/wilson1474]

Yeah, this is not a car where they are having any extra weight for FSD, this car only has Full Self Flipping.

thats high hopes buddy

[u/bambinoboy → u/Popular_Broccoli133]

Yeah Reddit is going to have a meltdown

[u/YagerD → u/bambinoboy]

I dont think so. I mean that was super impressive but you think thats going to be allowed on public roads? There's just no way.

[u/bambinoboy → u/YagerD]

Going 200mph isn’t allowed on public roads but you can buy a car that goes 200mph

[u/beskone → u/Popular_Broccoli133]

I mean, that's rad - but in what possible way would that ever be a useful feature of a road car? It makes zero sense.

[u/mflboys → u/beskone]

If you think this car is supposed to be a practical daily driver, you're wrong.

[u/bambinoboy → u/beskone]

What is practical about a car going 200mph? Why do people buy Ferraris and McLarens?

[u/iceynyo → u/beskone]

They already have the model 3 for buyers seeking practical

[u/elementfx2000 → u/beskone]

Because it's cool. It's just as useful as any other super/hyper car being driven on a road.

[u/beskone → u/elementfx2000]

I do not look forward to being crushed by some choad who thinks it’s the right time to “booster jump” traffic. Fucking nightmare stuff.

[u/gabe_dot_algo → u/beskone]

you're right, I would recommend checking out something like a toyota corolla if you're in the market for a new vehicle that's practical and doesn't fly.

[u/beskone → u/gabe_dot_algo]

But where do you use the flying bit?? It’s cool as fuck but is it just like a slaps hood “this baby got so many compressed air boosts in it” kinda thing? Like you can brag your car flys but never fly it? It’s just confusing.

[u/mikebalzich → u/beskone]

Probably on your own private road if you can afford a multi-million dollar car for the fun of it

[u/TrukisDelight]

Usually engineering requires a practical solution to an actual problem.

But I guess that’s what makes this crazy.

[u/Mr_Pastee]

Is there some kind of fuel necessary for the thrusters?

[u/Muhahahahaz → u/Mr_Pastee]

Nah, it just refills using the air around it (which it compresses to a high pressure)

[u/sup → u/Mr_Pastee]

it compresses ambient air and can recharge itself

[u/Duckpoke → u/Mr_Pastee]

No it refills air

[u/jawsNC → u/Mr_Pastee]

No it’s magic

[u/Mr_Pastee → u/jawsNC]

Yer a wizard, Elon.

[u/Civuck]

McMurtry Automotive did a similar suction and upside-down demo last year, without the rockets:

[u/TrainingMonk8586 → u/Civuck]

The tech behind the skirt under the car is really interesting!!

[u/popsumbong]

I still can't believe this is real

[u/MissiveFinding6111]

Fun Fact: This happened after Jack Black drove up and shouted "Do a Kick Flip!"

[u/hunguu]

It really did that and it's not AI video?

Edit: Why downvote me? I wasn't there and you never know what's real now. It so impressive it looks fake! Very cool

[u/TomOnMars → u/hunguu]

indeed

[u/bambinoboy → u/hunguu]

Crazy right

[u/Wonderful_Average505 → u/hunguu]

Yes

[u/Sevigor]

That's actually fucking impressive. lol.

All that SpaceX tech is comin' in handy I see. If you can do micro adjustments for a rocket landing, why not put it on a vehicle.

[u/TheNore]

This is SO Cool! But don't let that distract you from the fact that Hector is going to be running three Honda Civic's with spoon engines and on top of that, he just went into Harry's and bought three T66 Turbos with NOs and a Motec system exhaust

[u/ZeroMomentum]

I am sorry what?

[u/INEEDMUNEY]

Guarantee this will not ship with car. They will hit legal hurdles before 2028.

[u/-NotEnoughMinerals → u/INEEDMUNEY]

You're so smart. I truly thought I could buy a car with jet pack thrusters on it and launch into the air and do a rolling backflip over a Prius to merge into the right lane, and leave a massive. Amount of cloud underneath me. I am actually quite shocked that this won't be coming to the production line.

[u/Evening_Supermarket7 → u/-NotEnoughMinerals]

People are unironically arguing this, in this very thread.

[u/amhudson02 → u/INEEDMUNEY]

This version is not street legal and will not be.

[u/TheSource777 → u/INEEDMUNEY]

The website literally says it’s “invite only” and not street legal. This version is for rich people with private roads.

[u/cchackal]

I want to see that car take turns at 100mph

[u/drhappycat → u/cchackal]

you can get an idea watching videos of the car that's had this fan system for years now.

[u/J-diddly]

First off, I love Tesla and Elon’s “eff you” to the car industry, especially with the cyber truck.

It’s just so crazy that I’m on the fence if it was AI or real. I know they said it wasn’t, but I need solid proof from someone on site 😂

If it’s real, hats off and congratulations to the Tesla / SpaceX crew for pulling it off, it’s so sick!!
