    Is anyone else mortified by how such an obvious and blatant attention grab can so easily captivate the attention of literally every circle of the internet?

      I actually didn’t see any news on this except for some coworkers asking if I saw it. First time I saw it was yesterday… on lemmy. So maybe we should do better here and not talk about it, like at all? Delete this post and move on?

        They believe what? That there was a car using RCS thrusters to quasi-fly made by Tesla?

        If you don’t believe that, then you’re detached from reality.

      Not really. They made an actual flying car, and that’s just plain awesome.

      We know it’s an attention grab, that’s the entire point of doing a product demonstration. You’re not special for noticing that, in fact it’s so obvious most people don’t feel the need to comment on it.

        “an actual flying car” “product demonstration” lmao

        It’s neither a flying car nor a product that will ever be sold on the market. Crazy how gullible the average person is.

        I bet you’re one of those people who insisted FSD was right around the corner 10 years ago.

        “flying” is doing a lot of those heavy lifting, like 2000kg lifting. It’s like saying Buzz Lightyear from Toys Story can fly.

          That space convertible shows that it was an actually car with seats and everything. All the clips I’ve seen showed a sealed cockpit and tinted windows. So it could have esially been an empty frame with is lighter to do those stunts with

            Yeah, I think it was basically the RCS unit from a Space-X rocket stuffed into a car-shaped frame with some parts from an electric golf cart glued in there to move it around on the wheels.

        10 seconds of hovering ain’t exactly flying. It would have been impressive if they framed it as these are the thrusters we’ve been working on to help land on Mars, heres what we can do with them on a car.

        Instead Musk just goes we can kick flip a car!!! The same presentation goes from interesting tech to eyerollingly cringe. Absolutely a cool tech but has no business being sold in a car road legal or not. It should stay a prototype tech demo.
