Is there actually any proof it wasnt AI generated? I honestly cant tell. Theres a load of other problems anyways so it doesnt matter really
It was in the background at a live event.
The world would have been a better place if it had lost control, sped to the stage and exploded.
The 600L, 10,000psi nitrogen tank that allows both the flying and speed versions achieve their goals are the equivalent energy of 65kg of TNT in a fragile carbon fiber tank just behind the drivers head.
If you through electric cars are dangerous to crash into, you ain’t seen nothing yet.
So basically a shell-toy, like…
I know this whole thing was gimmicky as shit but can someone explain to me what I am looking at here, specifically.
edit: to be clear folks, I understand this is the flying roadster. I meant what am I supposed to be seeing about the underside that is different from an average Tesla that shows what it is that is funky that is going on.
Real cars = heavy and full of stuff
Fake cars = empty and light
This is the equivalent of Usain Bolt wearing a Tesla hat and doing cartwheels and everybody going “holy shit musk is a genius he made a Tesla do cartwheels”
It was a purpose built stuntcar, and basically just a car shaped drone. It means nothing in relation to what he’s selling, meaning, again, and more now than ever before, this offer of his, what everybody’s imagination saw, will never come to fruition unless they either buy exactly what’s on stage or wait 10 years and get a weird disappointing non-road-legal we-have-flying-cars-at-home version for 2x the price and it breaks the first time and erupts into flames.
Flames if you’re lucky, takes out you and everything in the immediate radius if you’re not.
Looks like an absolutely stripped-down skeleton of a car built specifically to do attention-grabbing stunts, and not even close to driveable under anything resembling normal conditions.
That’s the vibe I got from it as well, but I was wondering if anyone had better confirmation. Like I don’t know what the average Tesla looks like underneath so I don’t have anything to compare it to.
But that was my guess, it’s hollow and completely rocket powered, even when it was “driving”, and remotely controlled.
The bottom of a normal tesla is a massive battery covering the entire area.
To me it looks like I can see straight into the roof.
It’s probably a light weight aluminum frame with a plastic body on top. I’d be surprised if the tires were even rubber and not rigid foam or something to save weight.
My spidey senses are telling me that it’s a stripped down car, but also that the entire bottom is hollow to allow for the suction. I think the squares are to split the suction and make it more reliable.
The underside of the flying Tesla Roadster as it did one of its moves in the air.
I understand this is the
flyingjumping roadster.
judging by the shadows i would guess maybe 6in of clearance between the bottom frame and the battery pack? It’s hard to tell because of the perspective of the shot and the perspective of the picture taken of the screen. Obviously there needs to be some open area for the fans, but idk why it would need a frame in it.
I cant wait for somebody to die at Tesla HQ
