Why does my car need to do this Elon? The dumbest people in the world will buy this and find new ways to crash it.

Something about the ascent just doesn't look right, it seems too slow. Is the video laggy, or is there some magnet keeping it on the track?

The car has super powerful jets applying downward pressure to the road
>>
>>110077747
They said it has a giant fan on the bottom for traction, which I can believe.

Apparently the thruster system is just compressed air, which I don't believe. I hold judgement to see if there's some other angles shot by journalists but I wouldnt put it past it just being ai. Dude faked his diablo rankings I wouldn't put it past him faking this to pump stocks.

It's obviously dumb but could thrusters be useful to avoid an accident or help orient the car in case of collision?

Isnt this exactly the wrong car for Tesla right now?
It's another cybertruck

seems useful to me
sure sounds like a use case to me

>t. knows nothing about RCS systems
Cold gas thrusters are well understood.
Tesla is just jacking up the pressure with onboard COPVs

This guy is a fucking faggot his stance on anti-flock/anti-data center shit was retarded and him directing people to go spray wasp spray at fucking flock cameras in the middle of intersections was extremely retarded. It would have been funny if he wasn't being dead serious.

That’s pretty cool, even if it’s useless and can only be used once before needing refueling.

It’s in literally a million websites, it’s not ai

the thruster and rocket versions are not road legal track cars. in that case there is no reason to shit one's pants about safety.
>>
Imagine you do a flip and land on some random person walking in the parking lot

so, countdown until elon gets sued

Shills and faggots aside, what will be the price of it and how long do you think it will take to the Chinks to copy this?
>>
>>110077943
seems very useful for accident prevention
Not necessary or anything but I think there is a non insignificant # of accidents this could save your life.

For sure a cool demo, I'll give them that. Realistically (and practically) wouldn't the thrusters pushing the car down be more useful for a hypercar? Imagine taking turns on a dime because the vehicle is glued to the road.
>>
>>110077717
i'm more impressed they managed to not crash it than anything else, all that rocket science is paying off.

>>110077943
avoiding imminent collisions, preventing serious damage from falls, doing sick flips (safely)

It has a big fan. That's how it can go upside down.

these motherfuckers can actually make the batmobile, when are they putting a raptor on one? hmm elon?
>>
>>110077717
What would that be, $75k worth of rocket fuel?
>>
>>110078109
Maybe a few minutes of charging the air tanks.
>>
>>110077961
you'd need to keep a super expensive hardware plus pressurized gas on the car for something that has a 1% or less chance of happening, doesn't make sense.

it's just a stunt, cool af anyway
>>
>>110078031

the mcmurtry speirling uses this system, it is indeed a feature for super cars
>>
>>110077876
Isn't this the guy that went 100mph in a school zone, and was dumb enough to upload it in a video?
>>
>>110078192
Even if it has a low chance of happening, it is a chance of horrible death. I will gladly accept that cost when driving on a highway, for example.
>>
>>110078192
air bags are expensive too

can you call it with a proper slur that is used by people with soul (goyim) like call him a jew or something?
>>
>>110077717
interesting thing about this is this literally might be a way to actually get flying cars but who tf knows if thrusters could be powered by anything at all. It looks like this could be used in blade runner for a spinner has the same exact placement for the thrusters too. Its all for show though I highly doubt any of this will be usable for any car ever.
>>
>>110078031
>the thrusters pushing the car down
It's a suction fan under the car:

>>
>>110077717
If you watch how the body acts acts when it's near to landing you can tell that it isn't a full weight "car" it's mostly a shell with some motors for the wheels, fan, and the air jets.
Neat stunt of course, but that is not a 4,000 car.
