We are not the same

People dick riding musk should know he's a fucking Nazi.

People buying his cars should know they are enriching a fucking Nazi.

People should know, the only people that are impressed by Nazi shit are Nazis.

Flying cars have been around for ages, they're called helicopters. They're loud, expensive and dangerous as every other idea for something equivalent is.

[–] FishFace@piefed.social 26 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What do you do if the engine dies in your car? Put your hazards on and pull over. In your helicopter? Pray you can autorotate to a field.

[–] spicytuna62@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

But in a plane? Weeee! I'm in a glider!!

Bonk!

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

We've had actual flying cars too, though they were really just car shaped quadcopters and never made it to mass production because they sucked as transportation.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

Gyrocoptors. They're closer to a flying car, since if you can drive a car, you can legally fly a gyrocoptor in the US. Just remember to file flight plans, and watch out for power lines. The way you land the things is to kill the engine.

Helicopters aren't cars. But actual flying cars have indeed existed for at least ten years. I'm too lazy to go find this segment I watched on the topic, but I remember seeing one.

May the Shwartz be with you

At first I thought someone had done that to a SAAB which would have been appropriately hilarious

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Did that thing really fly? The center of lift seems way off from the center of weight.

Musk “it’s a flying car!”

Car just falls slowly and doesn’t fly anywhere

[–] WolfLink@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Fuck musk and all that, but this was a damn cool stunt and some seriously impressive engineering.

[–] rockerface@lemmy.cafe 58 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Why does there have to be a "but" there? He didn't do any of the engineering, so fuck him regardless.

[–] arrow74@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Unfortunately he paid the engineers to make this stunt for the sole purpose of increasing his wealth.

[–] thallamabond@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I don't think it's going to work out for him this time, but I've been wrong before

[–] dave@feddit.uk 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, concluding that from 1 day’s worth of trading is brave. Last 5 years or so shows much more volatility but still generally upwards… I can’t be bothered to see what those general spikes align with.

[–] HeyJoe@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

COVID and gas price, then Trump and gas prices?

[–] TheEighthDoctor@lemmy.zip 1 points 14 hours ago

That makes me believe people are seeing though these bullshit marketing stunts but let's wait until the market opens on Monday after all the video has been marinating over the weekend everywhere.

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 28 points 1 day ago (7 children)

but, like, not really?

all that tech already existed, and is used elsewhere on actually cool things that do stuff. it just wasn't applied to cars because there's no practical purpose aside from trying to boost public sentiment and stock valuation.

sure it was sort of neat, but seeing real machines work on those principles is even neater. it just looks less cool because, y'know, safety

Musk didn't do shit tbh, it's all engineers and marketing team.

The engineering looked like the Ronald Reagan starwars. Impressive ofc, but cool? It looked like shit IMO.

And all that to overshadow donalds problems, smh.

[–] Janx@piefed.social 5 points 1 day ago

Was it "falling with style", or did they just aim it at the ground and miss?

[–] Sprocketfree@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Is anyone really that excited to have cars crashing into your second story bedroom?

[–] Hupf@feddit.org 36 points 1 day ago

Real and heterosexual.

I feel like I should speak up, because I feel deeply betrayed.

We had established a solid timeline for moving forward with the project, and the current progress allows us to meet all prerequisites comfortably

Despite our sincere expectations that we would now initiate our relationship, we find ourselves dumbfounded to have received such a curt and inconsiderate reply.

Be advised that we're considering all our options, including litigation and not leaving the basement.

Middling regards,
Betrayed Person

Tesla released a new video introducing a Tesla semi and a new Tesla Roadster.

The Roadster flew, hovered, or jumped over the semi.
