Where did all the hype for Elon's flying car go? Personally I cant wait to fly mine to McDonalds.
For me, it's the McChicken
I think it just shows how frayed the modern human psyche is. Flying cars was an idea that would be a breach into the fantastical, like personal jetpacks or casual space travel. Right now, people are so broken over the equivalent of celebrity kayfabe (the American Political theater) and rabid back-biting tribalism that this novel feat of engineering is met with a shrug as everyone goes back to "owning" whichever tribe is getting kicked in the ribs this week.
>>546078738I won't ever really own one, so I won't ever really be happy, will I
>>546079153It's retarded, people can't fucking manage to navigate roads correctly without wrecking their shit, you think metropolitan areas would just have people flying around in fucking cars in orderly fashion? It's just dumb.
>>546079153Flying cars are retarded and everyone that wants flying cars is an idiot. People can't even drive on 2 axes. Especially with chinks and third world brownoids. Imagine if everyone got access to a personal aerial vehicle? It would be a complete disaster of constant 9/11s.
>>546079153>novel feat of engineering I was being sarcastic. It was just an empty shell with air canisters crammed into it.
>>546079153Well it is cool but it's also like "when would you ever actually use this"
people found out it can only hover for like 6 secondsit's neat like a monster truck is neat but it's not an actual "flying car"
>>546079241Why would you ever use a jetpack or ever want to be in space? It's neat, but I think some people have pointed out "I'll never have this, so what's the point". That's fair.
>>546078738It stopped being the Current Thing when the mid-terms happened. Also people kept asking this perfectly reasonable question >>546079241 and the only response was "WHY CAN'T YOU JUST BE EXCITED FOR TECHNOLOGICAL PROGRESS? WHAT ARE YOU TOO BROKE TO OWN ONE?" and we all lost interest.
it was pointless fluff to bolster tesla stock prices. the car was just a shell with lunar lander boostersjeets cummed and shitted themselves over it
>>546079306It's not so much about me never having it as, even if I did, I don't know when I'd use it. I'd still just be driving on roads where it'd be illegal and / or impractical to do so 99.999% of the time. Now if we could some real nigga hours shit like antigravity or sustainably powered armored exoskeletons or age reversal then I'd be like oh shit dope
>>546078738It's complete bullshit and everyone knows it. He jumped the shark with that one. If he could make some kind of automated commuter drone that didn't cost more than a Bugatti and could actually get certified it might actually have a customer base. Flying cars are like jetpacks. They will always get a cheap headline, but you can count the paying customers for them on one hand.
>>546079236>retard doesn't even know what he's looking atWait until you find out what the bottom of a hovercraft looks like lmao
The real car's not gonna have that obviouslyAre you even aware how loud those boosters are? The would blow the ears of anyone nearby if it was put in a real car
>>546079567I'll give you a hint: It doesn't look like that.
>>546079604Each one of those sections functions like the skirted boundary of a hovercraft. They are redundant so loss of contact with one cell doesn't lose total downforce. I know you kikes are more into finance than practical engineering and handiwork but this is just sad.
>>546078738It's just not that impressive since its clearly a novelty one-off for promotional purposes, and there's already functioning flying car-like drone things in advanced development that will make it obsolete. He shouldve announced that they were finally building the Roadster they promised 8+ years ago.Picrel has been around a decade and is cooler.
>>546078738just when you think the american empire is falling, we got flying fucking cars. cope and seethe yuropoors
>>546079236But it actually was incredible engineering. The problem is there are an infinite number of engineering projects you can do that aren't valuable to anyone.
>>546079664You just answered a question nobody asked.
>>546079730I've been in a metal tube flying at 500mph for hours. The time of being impressed by 4 second jumping car, something we all already knew was possible, is long over.
>>546079478>If he could make some kind of automated commuter drone that didn't cost more than a Bugatti and could actually get certified it might actually have a customer base.Archer and Joby are already working on that. Human rated quadcopters are more practical implementations but they certainly don't draw the same sort of crowd that a stunt like that pulls. For the record I'd prefer a regular roadster without the gay track additions other than maybe active dynamic fairing based aero but a lot of people are missing the most impressive part of the demonstration. Compare the speed at which it went from dead stopped with systems inactive, to being vertical on the curved ramp surface, then inverted. Whatever they've engineered is significantly faster to activate and less fiddly than what McMurtry is using in their Spierling as shown by how much slower, more controlled and optimized their demonstration was.>>546079757>coping and sneeding jew who doesn't even know what the undercarriage of a modern car looks like trying to tell other people they're off marklmao shut your greasy ass up kike
>>546079931>Wait till you find out what the bottom of a hovercraft looks like>It doesnt look like a hallowed-out car you can see the other side of>...JUICE!!
>>546079153That was a dream we had before our society was artificially populated with idiots as a money making scheme>import idiots>make them work>they're too dumb to ask for more money>???>profit>-history of the american south, which has since expanded to southern californiaToday's roads are third world tier because of the people on it, the people who are happy to act like the imported idiots despite being native, and the car companies marketing to these two majorities.
>>546079306You can't have it. It didn't even have seats.It had C02 canisters where the driver would be and half the internals were gutted to be lighter.They swapped it out before opening the door later.No car will ever be able to fly without having helicopter blades or plane wings, they will only be able to "jump" at best.At least until we figure out multitudes better energy density anyway, which is unlikely without breaking our current understanding of physics.
>>546079730>was increitable engineering task saar
>>546080015>you can see the other side ofWhat other side? You're seeing the bottom of the battery pack protection plate. All modern electric cars basically look the same, like the image you posted minus the aircell grid for the downforce generation. Here's what a Hyundai EV looks like with it's plastic aero cladding that usually covers the front and rear subframe sections removed. As I said, white men know what this shit looks like. Kikes like you obviously don't.
>>546080196>What other side?Of the jumping hallowed car we were literally just talking about 5 seconds ago.
>>546080260>being deliberately obtuseWhere in the image is the "other side" shown kike. I'm not letting you slide on this one.
>>546079591What?
>>546080285You're blind.
>>546080320So it looks exactly like the image I posted in >>546080196 with added aero cells? So you concede then?
>>546080350It doesn't look even remotely similar. Concede.
>>546080387I accept your concession. There was that so hard?
>>546080418I too accept my concession that they don't look similar, thanks.
>>546078738>for Elon's flying carUh huh, sure it's "flying" alright.
>>546079232>It would be a complete disaster of constant 9/11s>Mfw
