It solves a problem that doesn't even exist. It's stupid and useless in real life
It’s a rich person toy. Why does it piss people off so much?
You’re stupid and useless in real life
that's what cavemen said about making fire at first, you know?>inb4 no they didn'tsneed
>>544551608Do a barrel roll
>>544551608Mark my words. It will be used as a terrorist car drone. Wait until the rich arabs get their hands on alot of them. Load them up with explosives and you got a suicide missile ready to go.
>>544551608imagine seething over something that's "stupid and useless"
>>544551608>Why would you climb the mountain white boy? There is nothing there!!!
>>544551608you are poor because you are gay and retarded.
>>544551608Imagine if boomers were thinking like this during the (fake) moonlanding.You dont get why we do this. You never climbed a mountain because you don‘t see the point in it. Am I right?
>>544551780You know the technology for this retardation has existed for 50 years right?
>>544551868>>544551910Fucking hivemind again
>>544551825They won’t be available to the masses. Only a few of Elon’s buddies will get one.
It's clearly a gimmick, but a gimmick many are willing to pay for....and from 0 to 100 in below a second is a strong selling point.I wished, Musk was a citizen of my country, but I suppose the retards in the capital would have ended his companies at least once or twice by now.That's all you need to know for why America achieved it's position of global dominance:Freedom of the people to do their thing without a nanny state constantly fucking their shit up, because it can.(Meme flag is only to protect myself from the overly enthusiastic prosecutors my country has, since I would be badmouthing my country - the bestest that ever was -, if I posted this with a flag attached.)
>>544551670Why anyone would want jumping cars on a road? Roads are already dangerous. Imagine adding jumping cars to multiply road crashes 10x. No civilized country in the world would allow or approve that garbage. The tech isn't even new. It's a 70s concept. It's a Circus stunt to grab investors money and be discarded in 5 months lol
>>544551608Check the fucking catalog fuckface, I hope one of these faggot flyers crashes into your moms house
>>544551608Yeah. They're totally gonna let everyone fly everywhere. Little old blue hairs, nog teenagers will have systems in theirs, Jim the 'Nam vet totally won't crash into a government building, or some random Durkadurka won't fly into some public event with the flying car filled with explosives.Future is totally awesome.Nah, dumb shit for publicity, nothing more. Maybe make something useful and realistic. But this is Mars Nigger we're talking about. Dumb motherfucker can't raise a child without turning it faggot, what do you expect?
>>544551608uh huh
>>544551868>>544551910Mountain climbing is a goddamn stupid activity. I don’t care what’s at the top of your mountain, if you slip and die you deserved it for being a moron who climbs mountains.
>>544551608this shit is bananas b a n a n a s
>>544552141I don’t disagree with what you said. My statement still stands though
>>544552240That‘s actually the thing that makes it attractive. Climb a mountain anon. Do something your never did
>>544551608It's COOL. The coolness is the point. It's humans at play in a uniquely human way; taking the raw materials of the cosmos and forging them into things that could not have existed without our imaginations in the form we make them. It's good to have fun and do cool things, anon. Especially when the ability for us to disseminate information globally leads to so much novel unhappiness that we'd never have had before because the bad news just couldn't feasibly reach us, it's good to also broadcast stuff like>hey, check it out! flying cars sorta! that's neat!
It takes 9hrs to fill the nitrogen tank. Probably costs $1000 per "flight".I think it's cool for a product demo, but it's mostly a gimmick at this point.
>>544551608>I wouldn’t have done it that way and I don’t like itBut how does that affect you personally?
>>544552057Who cares it’s totally useless. 260 kg of compressed air is 9 seconds of hover time. Ford could have done something this retarded and useless in the 1960s.
>>544551608It's a new ear of sport racing, where the roads will look like straight from the game. F1, NASCAR, or what have you will become obsolete.
>>544552482>“Flight” = 9 seconds of hoverLol
>>544551608Lunar hopper mainframe but it would have to carry its own gas supply as lacking meaningful atmosphere. Could see it as a less infrastructural hassle than the current hypothetical method of lowering cargo and personnel down to surface from starship. If they get to processing liquid H2O and regolith fast enough a couple of swappable canisters for quick refueling of the cold gas traverse engines gets you some extended autonomy for off road missions. [Maglev trains and orbital elevators are the meta]
>>544552607160 db = instant deafness. Everyone was wearing earplugs during the demo and they were hundreds of yards away.
>>544551825What could it do that a drone can't already do better? It's just an RCS system on a hollowed-out car, isn't it? There isn't anything new here, it's just a cooler, more complicated version of sticking a clock on a microwave, far as I can tell. Not to say you're wrong about those acid-tongued A-rabs.>all the cars are here!>ALLAHU ACKBAR
>>544551608That's great, show your flag.
>>544552141No one is proposing jumping cars on the road.>It's a Circus stunt to grab investors moneySee, even you know this. If this post isn't just cynical trolling, then remember (which I'm sure you already know) that looking for things to get your jimmies rustled about will always be a successful search, and such things will find you even without you looking, so there's little sense in purposely seeking out more.
>>544552679And you think car races are quiet in general?
>>544551608PSSHHHHHHSHSHSHSSHSHSHHHHHHHHHT
>>544552961Theyre not 160 db you absolute faggot.
>>544552200Catching rockets as they land with a pinchy-grabby tower is pretty useful. If anyone's allowed to make dumb cool shit, it's got to be the people who are also making useful realistic things at the same time.
>>544551664>It’s a rich person toy. Why does it piss people off so much?Probably because I'm living in a van down by the river.
>>544552218Imagine if you could drive through a pantifa parade and then when you get stuck like that, start hopping on commies like Mario
> The Pressure Differential: Modern F1 noise comes from rapid internal combustion cycles. Heavy cold gas thrusters rely on compressed gas expanding instantly into the atmosphere from extreme pressures (often up to 10,000 PSI).>Supersonic Shockwaves: The air blasting out of a high-thrust cold gas nozzle travels at supersonic speeds (exceeding Mach 2). This creates literal mini-sonic booms (tearing noises) that can cause immediate eardrum rupture or permanent hearing damage to anyone standing nearby.
>>544551608The problem is that thrusters can't be used for long. Musk should try to make a proper hovercar that can fly for prolonged period of times. That's the next step.
>>544552600They wouldn’t have the computer system that controls the thrusters
>>544553380The problem is that nobody can even drive the thing and keep their hearing intact.
>>544552110Jeets and boomers zero to acckk
>>544552141Because new roads can be designed with jumping cars in mind. Short bridges and overpasses will no longer be necessary.
It's actually very practical, migger Americans will need these vehicles to rocket boost across the many pot holes and collapsed bridges in their failing nation
>>544553146Then go to F-1 and the the closest seat to the road, you fucking retard.
>>544551608The space guy on Youtube Scott Manley did a breakdown. To lift that car you basically expand 40 to 50kwh of electricity in seconds. So You are only doing it once (before refilling) and you better hope those thrusters all work when you do it. It is truly something for elite like Jay Leno or some rich fuck to own.
>>544551608It must be real because it looks so fake.
>>544551608It's not supposed to be anything other than cool. Tesla is already light-years ahead of the competition when it comes to solving practical problems related to driving. You can buy one of their cars for like 20k that can be charged at home for pennies compared to buying gas, needs basically zero maintenance, and can fucking drive itself to your destination while you look at your phone. They designed this roadster just to see what would be possible in terms of engineering, and sure enough it's something that pushes the boundaries. If you want practical, go buy a Model 3. It's the most practical car ever made.
>>544551608Blade Runner wasn't supposed to be a instruction Manual.
>>544551608Great publicity stunt. Terrible product.
>>544551608Most high end cars have retarded options that you dont need like heated steering wheels and and doors that close with a button and people pay 10k extra for this shit just to show off.Even bigger engines are kinda useless, almost nobody who buys a ferrari ever uses all the power, its all just for bragging, its a status symbol.
>>544551608> refill takes only 7 hours> this is the future
>>544551608It isn't even a car. It is just a prop full of pressure tanks.Elon's landing rockets are impressive, but this shit is just a circus stunt. Nobody else has tried it before, because it is fucking stupid and has no practical use.
Of course it is complete retarded. But Americans are retarded for retarded stuff makes number go up. Easy equation
>>544552637It's actually only 5 seconds of continuous hovering.And 7 hours of refill time.
>>544552110>0 to 100 in below a second is a strong selling point.Why? Whats a reason you would ever neer to go that fast besides showing off?But that car will never be street legal with that option anyway, that jet of air will destroy any car or person that sits behind you.
>>544551608Lemme guess. That money could have been better spent helping you transition.
>>544551608>It solves a problem that doesn't even exist.what are u talking about it makes it convenient to change tires or do an oil change
>>544555768It's mean for fun, not for practical use.
>>544555768I wonder what an accident would look like when you crash with your giant tank of air under extreme pressure.
>>544555871>that jet of air will destroy any car or person that sits behind you.That's the point, I suppose.That car has three expansion stages:One aiming for surely street-legal, another for potentially street-legal and one for fun-maxing.What you saw in the reveal show was the latter. It's a limited edition and invite-only model.
>>544551821I want to see it flip upside down and stick to the bottom of a surface
>>544551608>It solves a problem that doesn't even existEvery RED LIGHT RUNNER is the problem. Now you can just have the car Fly up and avoid getting unalived xDAlso good for getting away fast, cops cannot pull you over, they have to call AIr Control first
>>544553441The thrust itself would also probably kill anyone who happens to be nearby
>>544551965But a consumer product that uses it in a working package hasn't. Is it useful in any sort or practical way right now? No, but seeing the now proven concept in action is something interesting at least. It's just a giant gimmick now but could lead to more practical advancements that aren't simply gimmicks. Like making my nissan armada be able to do a 1 second 0-60 run. Now that's the practicality we all need!
>>544551608AHKTUANALY!!! It looks like a modern engineering magic trick and you could say this is to impress the GOYIM!! and the SCHMUCKS that soi face on Elons Glizzy. BUT it has practical use in landing things on MARS!!..OOOHH!!This guy is actually trying to become emperor of Mars where you will be stranded there with him. Unless you lick the boi bussy for a ride back.
>>544557286Look at how many people hes quietly and without push back, unpersoned on his personal twitter with vague shit like "in authentic person. posts pictures of your butthole to this Israeli biometric data collection center. And asking Epstein where the wild party at..Etc. Etc..Theres more but you Schmucks will never give a crap. Theres basically no future for those that dont eat ass.
>>544551608what in the gmod is this
So what’s the math behind, say you drive or off a mountain. Can you basically do a video game double jump and land safely in that car?
>>544551608>No fun allowedthat's because of people like you that modern society is boring
>>544551664I think because people tout it as some breakthrough in society
Since it was some elon thing I just assumed the whole thing was slop generated. Either way it makes no difference to me.
>>544556431*Thinks a farting car is the same as flying car
>>544552240Climbers are based because there's multiple pleasures about it, unlike cave exploring.
>>544556608This is not hitting the consumer markets. Can you imagine this being used in ghetto hoods and shit? It also has no utility or functional purpose on American roadwaysThe insurance and liability issues would be a nightmare with people fooling around with this kind of stuffThis is just like a parlor trick to show off what they can do
>>544551825>ark my words. It will be used as a terrorist car droneYou dont even need explosives, just douse the battery with water and watch thermal runaway do the rest.
>>544551608Kys
>>544551608It's not a real car it's just a prop
>>544551608you're not thinking about how awesome this will be when the tech gets old and even niggers can afford themliteral rocket niggers
>>544558308My memeflag isn't there. Not kike or jeet certified here
>>544552110lol the nanny state paid for that car
you seem upset
>>544558408>It's not a real car it's just a propSo is a dildo but it still takes care of your woman.
>>544551608The stats on those thrusters was also fake. They said it its about 1800kg. Weight = mass * gravityW = m * gW = 1800 * 9.81W (force in Newtons) ≈ 17658 NSo to just hover, you need >17.7 kN of downward thrust. Tesla/SpaceX are bragging about ~80 kN total from the cold‑gas thrusters - that's over 4× its own weight.Wanna know what that actually does to a car?Acceleration: a = (orce / massa = 80000 / 1800a ≈ 44.4 m/s^2If those thrusters were actually outputting 80kN downward thrust, after 10 seconds:velocity = displacement (acceleration) * time (seconds) v = a * tv = 34.6m/s^2 * 10s = 346m/s^2In other words after 10 seconds the car would be traveling upwards at over 1000km/h (700mph for you imperialfags)But I guess they thought big number would fool the retards (and it worked). This is grade 12 physics by the way. They're not even putting effort into the grift.
>>544557617Dude that's been the question bouncing around in my head. Like, if you hand a set of these to some rally drivers and told them to completely send it on an extremely dangerous mountain course, could this tech make it so a racer flying off the track is no big deal?
>>544554286Jay Leno wouldn’t buy that trash.
>>544560101sorry the acceleration on the 2nd calculation is 34.6m/s^2 not 44.4. Just woke up, a bit groggy.
>>544551608carnival barker performs stunt
>>544551608Lift off right into high voltage utility wires. That's what I'm talking about, I'm sure this will go over well.
>>544551608Most innovative ideas sound retarded at first, for example normal cars, at first one could claim they are useless because horses do everything they are supposed to do and much cheaper, easier to maintain, environmentally friendly, etc. However, once the tech exists people start building on it and eventually it changes the entire trajectory of the development of society.
>>544560607>Most innovative ideas sound retarded at first,yup, remember Steve Balmer on iPhone?"Five hundred dollars fully subsidized with a plan? I said, that is the most expensive phone in the world. And it doesn't appeal to business customers because it doesn't have a keyboard, which makes it not a very good emailmachine."2026 iPhone Duo, $3,199 USD.
>>544551664It doesn’t kill jews fast enough
>>544560101a 10 000 psi tank can output 80 kN for about 1 second. but the tank that holds enough air to output 80kN for one second weighs more than the air can lift. so it couldnt even lift its own air tank for 1 second
