    When they first come out, there will probably be stories of people trying to do that but then crashing when they run out of compressed air but the traffic they are trying to avoid is still there and not leaving them room to land. Assuming they even maintain enough control for that to be relevant.

      I’m imagining one trying to bypass traffic on a bridge and going sideways, crashing into a river.

      “Pothole” being the codename for a homemade antitank mine that only goes off when it detects the Bluetooth MAC address of a Tesla roadster driving over

    Even if they can fly, don’t think they could go over other vehicles without killing people. That downward force has to go somewhere.

      Because everybody knows to dive out of the path of overhead helicopters lest they be crushed.

        There’s a reason helicopters lift off from heli pads and not traffic jamed streets in the inner city…

          Apples to oranges comparison. Look into how helicopters generate lift, you seem to be misunderstanding the physics of the situation.

    It’s probably never getting sold, it’s definitely not going to be road legal if it is.

      The “flying” tesla exists, though - there was a demo recently.

      Now, it only has 1 seat, isn’t street legal, is being sold on an invitation only basis for an undisclosed price, and uses compressed air to “fly” so it can’t do so for any sustained period - so you won’t see what the meme describes.

      Also the versions that are legal and actually would be sold at best have some jets of air on the back to make them go faster, but that costs like 250k USD.

        Flying and jumping are different. That car landed and rolled but didn’t fly. The Wright brothers flew further than Tesla ever could.

          Even calling that hallowed out shell a car is a big stretch.

          Yeah - that’s why I put “fly” in quotes and said it couldn’t do it for any sustained period of time.
