>>29122939
Okay, great, but have they finally figured out how to distribute torque between wheels properly yet?
And it’s going to be too powerful to do powerslides at street speeds so it’s just going to be a drag / track grip car? Laaame.

>>29123023
HAHAHAHAHAHA

>>29123023
$50,000 just to reserve? With no set price or release date.
Normal model doesn’t do 1 sec and the trim with thrusters will be extremely limited production and are off road use only.

>>29123019
>You will see the normal sub 1 second car for sure, but never any thruster
The sub 1 second was achieved via rear thrusters. The actual street legal car will be much slower, although probably still quite fast.

>>29122955
There is no way this thing is legal in any way. 1 pebble on the street the car behind you is getting a fucking bullet shot at it. Do it on a dirt road and it's cutting everything behind it to pieces. Still absolutely insane demo.

Whats crazy is no leaks whatsoever

NERD here:

These wont be the boosters you will get if you buy it. These are space grade type shit for landing on moon and planets. Really cool stuff but the street legal version will probably be much weaker and have gay sensors that dont let you air booster launch if cars or people are too close behind you. It will probably still sound cool but wont look smoky. It will jist be air.

Either way it will be launching you under 2 seconds to 0-60 which is fucken bananas.

>>29123032
3 versions, the 2nd tier with 1 sec is “limited release only.”

>>29123038
You also have to consider weight. The rocket equation is extremely sensitive to mass. I guarantee this test car has its batteries stripped out to the point to where it probably took the entire charge just to do the demonstration.

Looks cool but seems a little too dangerous to be on the streets. I reckon through either user error or otherwise those thrusters can malfunction flipping the thing over and kill someone. Just seems utterly retarded for normal use.

Front is fugly but the profile's neat.

The flying version will only be for Jay Leno type people. It will be only a handful made. Even regular rich people wont be able to buy it.

On the booster one that anyone rich can buy... I dont think the road safety law makers will allow the boosters to do a full power launch on streets that does 0-60 under 1 second. It will be track only.

It will probably be a weak street mode that launches way slower.

by the time this car comes out, chinese would've figured out full rocket landing tech on their own anyway. I mean didn't they recently catch one

My model Y will do that in a future software update.

Surprised there is this many gear heads here thinking it's real.

The suction thing is possible, they're saying it's a fan.

Thrusters? Not possible. They said it's just compressed gas. I'm sorry but you can't just zoom around like that with air compression and no combustion. Even the military jetpacks they have use giant turbines to maneuver.

The booster tech is from apollo moon landing era. Its cool shit, but they have improved it alot since its been like 60 years. I am guessing the compression rates are way better now and therefore it can give a massive thrust even on a heavy vehicle. The flying version for sure is running on light batteries and large compressor machines to suck in and pack the air since it can self generate it.

Surprised the military hasn't added this to their vehicles. It would be very useful on battlefield.

Launch differences in the 3 versions

Base
>Performance is road ready with two seats and goes 0–60 in under 1.6 seconds.

Limited edition
>Thrust adds rear cold-gas thrusters and gets there in under 0.9.

Special Edition, invite only
>Rocket seats one and does it in under 0.59.

holy fuck
>Run the numbers. 60 mph is 26.8 m/s, so 0.59 seconds works out to about 4.6 g on average. That's more than an astronaut feels at Falcon 9 liftoff.

Rocket has thrusters around the whole body for lift and rotation, a top speed over 230 mph, and more than 300 miles of range.

From an engineering prospective yes it was very cool. But realistically this car will not be made and sold. It joins the endless pantheon of cool concept cars. The actual production car might look the same but ultimately just be another EV. It will be very very fast but we only have to look at the Rimac to see what the ceiling of EV performance production cars can be.

And can you tell me how it's going to be feasible to produce large amounts of these cars? These rocket thrusters must be expensive to create, more expensive than solar panels designed to look like shingles on a roof.

Not really. It's a very high PSI compressed air system. The thrusters are just nozzles. There are some computer-actuated valves. Ultimately not that wild, just used and formatted in an unconventional way.

>performance
actual production vehicle I can see making deliveries by 2030, not a bad design for a Tesla spec supercar attempt. Best selling accessory will be a bumper sticker that says "my other roadster can fly"
>thrust
stripped down version of the base model with nitrogen tanks stuffed into the crevices for the gimmick, give it less than a month after delivery for some youtuber who bought it to figure out that driving the car with the tanks and plumbing removed is faster than with a full tank and the fart cloud blasting
>rocket
entirely different platform, not a real car, but a purpose built novelty toy suitable for brief stunt shows and promotional exhibitions with pre-programmed tricks that the occupant gets to ride along for but not fully control. Obviously not street legal and the FAA will want to ground it. Very slim chance anyone ever actually takes delivery of one but he'll let other play with his for a fee.

I don't think it'll take that long, it's probably just Plaid drivetrain in a different body.

The car has a powerful vacuum that literally sucks the car to the floor. Also the rocket fuel is compressed air that the car refills like in a video game.

You've never seen a Toyota Mirai, have you

>>29123297
Hyperloop never got the capital funding that was needed to make the vision a reality, so of course they went with something else. This is like saying people should be realists about rockets to the moon and understand they will never happen again because the last time someone tried to send people to the moon they gave up after 20 years.

This is not China where you have an oversupply of engineers. Makes no financial sense for Tesla to allocate all that engineering talent for a low revenue niche product.

Any normal CEO of a public company would be in a shaky position. Then again if Tesla was normal he'd be gone after the Cybertruck fiasco already.

>>29123551
A Mirai doesn’t have an aerospace grade pressure vessel holding ten gorillion bar of pressure, retard.

It's a halo product moron. You fuckers are really retarded you know that? Like when a car company deprecates any halo product you cry about how there's no sovl and no fun, when company works on a halo product it's deemed nonsense.

"Muh safety and cost"

Holy fucking shit you fucking faggots. Flying cars is something we all always dreamed as a kids and we're finally seeing some.
And I don't even like EVs.

>>29123585
That's where you're wrong. It does.

>>29123604
It's not a flying car. A real flying car would be street legal. This is not. Ergo, it's not a car at all. It is some kind of jetbike with a roof or a hovercraft without a skirt. It belongs on >>>/n/

As opposed to new gasoline cars coming with new and exciting features such as plastic oil pans, wet belts and designed to fail electronic everything that you need a $2k per month subscription software to even diagnose.

>>0-60 in under 1 second
The McMurtry Spéirling uses a very similar downforce syste (4400 pounds or so, enough to park upside down) and it has a 0-60 of 1.4 seconds.

Add to that the four rear thrusters to an already fast car with limitless ocntrol of its downforce, and the under 1 second makes sense. Considering the same thrusters under the car can launch it 40 feet into the air, they are seriously powerful.

>>29122764
I have no feelings towards the brands.
The only thing that sticks out to me is the 0-50 in 1 second. I am not amazed or excited instead I am very worried knowing sonething weights likely in the 3000-4000lb range has such an acceleration. Civilians shouldn't be allowed to own thing capable of such destruction. To a point where this is a new weapons platform for terrorist attack.

I remember when the cybertruck did the beat a Porsche with a trailer gimmick.
/o/heads said it was performative.
Zooms said it was the future old man.
How’d that turn out? 13% of sales targets.

Car guys are begging for a lightweight that feels and drives like a lightweight for cheap. This is not the answer to that and I will stick to miatas.

Was it cool? Hell yeah, I love stunt shit! But what was displayed isn’t going to be available to the public and pre-orders are $50k. Sticking with the Miata, sorry.

>>29123715
>Car guys are begging for a lightweight that feels and drives like a lightweight for cheap.
Car guys don't buy new cars and look for every excuse to not to do so. Even if a company made their perfect car, they would go "buying new cars is for suckers, I'll wait for some sucker to buy one in an excact spec I want, take care of it and baby it, eat the depreciation for me and sell it to me after 3 years". And the ones who put their money where their mouths are buy 100k cars like Corvettes and Porsches.

>>29123734
I’m in my 30s and have bought 2 new cars. Both manual.
This thing is going to be like 250k if “reservations” without a listed price are $50k. It’s hype shit, as per usual.
