@nytimes: Tesla unveiled its new sports car, the Roadster, at an event on Thursday. It is equipped with thrusters that allow it to go from zero to 60 miles per hour in less than a second and leave the ground briefly. #tesla #elonmusk
A flashy prototype that reels in investors—then delivers nothing or something overpriced (true to form) - read the Fine prints in the pre-sale agreement: 1. under Rocket section - Note: Not approved for public road use; 2.Musk said for the thrust variant, which was the one that was demoed, he quote “Not sure it’s necessarily legal in all jurisdictions.” Reserving your spot for the Thrust variant requires immediate $5000 payment and $245,000 to be paid in 10 days. And speaking of costs, here’s the Terms and Conditions Note: Cannot confirm the exact price. 3. Continued with the sales T&Cs Note: We cannot guarantee when your vehicle will actually delivered.

Invention: 10/10. ✅
Practical use: ?/10 ❌
Closing the airspace for the demonstration: unnecessary 🤷🏻♂️

He’s probably thinking about sending this model to the Moon/Mars. Those features are necessary if there’s no gravity

Oh Hell No! 🇨🇦 :
I'd be impressed if Elon stepped out of the car after the demo.
No human can withstand those G-forces in any practical way.

That couldn’t have any commercial viability and regulators wouldn’t let it be on main stream roads for a long time
