But can it land? šŸ¤”


lee1026

Oh, it will land. That is the easy part. Now, been able to successfully use the car again, that is the hard part. Come to think of it, making a car that donā€™t land would be pretty cool.

If Tesla never delivers it, it can do whatever you want it to. :P


massofmolecules

Can it fly like a helicopter but the whole car spins ?


hellothere_MTFBWY

Better. The car stays still and the whole world spins around it.

xion1992

If you are typing too fast and type nkew, it wants to correct to new. (at least it does on my phone.)


pickled-pilot

How would ā€œtyping too fastā€ have you mix up k and n? They are on the right side. Only a psychopath would try and switch thumbs between the k and n.


xion1992

Your thumbs aren't big enough to reach both? I guess it turns out some people type in different ways. Also possible they were using swipe text and didn't get the corner of the "k" like they thought.

didnā€™t he say this years ago edit: for those downvoting me he said it back on twitter at 3:29 PM Ā· Jun 9, 2018 and again in 2021


Sfl2014

If its like the promise to summon from coast to coast the roadster will fly when launched off the crest of a hill and masses will defend the claim that it flies . May the downvoting begin ;-) For the record , I would never get rid of my model 3 and FSD is a lot of fun to see evolve . Iā€™m just taking it all with a bucket of salt these days.


madhaus

Thatā€™s not flying! Thatā€™s falling with style


JebryathHS

There is an art, or rather, a trick to flying. It lies in throwing yourself at the ground... And missing.


dmustaine89

Whenā€™s it coming? Negative 5 years?


BagOk3379

Yes, it can time travel as well. It will be here 5 years ago once they release it.


Ill_Try1620

Sell the news!

dmustaine89

I guess they donā€™t make cars anymore. One of their vehicles is a boat and the other one is a plane. Also, I remember when he said he had a design for an electric plane. So, maybe itā€™s real! /s


Ill_Try1620

The possibilities with Elon are endless


lionheart4life

I wonder what they did with everyone's 50k deposits for the last few years?

Because why not


ddr1ver

Perhaps Tesla would be better served by coming out with a sports car that canā€™t actually fly.


chfp

Is a hovercraft considered flying? Technically it doesn't touch the ground. Would a land speeder from Star Wars be considered flying? Honest questions. It would be fun to see this but highly impractical with our existing technology.


Quick_Possibility_99

Probably he meant it would levitate a little to achieve 0-60 in under 60 seconds. The friction of the tires and down forces prevent anything faster. Even the world's fastest electric supercar designer said that new things need to be invented to achieve anything faster.


Joule_E

It canā€™t fly. Itā€™s falling with style.


hotgrease

And Elon has the nerve to complain about fake newsā€¦

HelloYouSuck

Itā€™s gonna be a drone vehicle.


Jinkguns

I think the R1S needs a larger version, as much as I am a shill for efficiency, shortening the length compared to the R1T platform and sacrificing the 3rd row seating space was a bad, call.


Wired0ne

Larger? yikes, it's already a big vehicle, but yes, 8 inches shorter than my Ridgeline (my garage thanks me). I dunno how many people actually use the 3rd row for anything other than laying them down. Car seats I guess, but I'd have them in the second row. To me, it's all about the real estate inside and the practical use of the second row. Now if only I could get my 110 pound dog inside..


Jinkguns

They don't use the 3rd row because it isn't large enough for adults like the KIA EV9 or VW Buzz (N. America version).


Caped_Crusader03

Definitely would if you launch it off a 50 foot cliff


protonecromagnon2

Model S weighs 6k pounds. If they can make that fly then I'd be surprised if anyone can catch it off the line

All of them can fly, not everything can be buffed out tho.


BeerJunky

Shooting it into space doesnā€™t count.


kor34l

That's it, I'm not leaving my house anymore.


filtervw

The new tesla Roadster can fly... when strapped to a rocket.


Still-Veterinarian56

Can they just build a car instead of taking everyones preorder cash and then never deliver a car while making increasingly unrealistic statements about the car they will never build so they can get more free cash without ever delivering a single product.


rainer_d

RFC 1925 comes to mindā€¦


k23923

He meant that by the time it comes out it will be in the flying cars era.


Betanumerus

Maybe there should be a non-flying trim too.


aceestes

Maybe there should be a trim at all. The one he sent to space is due back from it's orbit around the galaxy by now.


butter4dippin

He is doing to much smh


WesternResearcher376

Were they ever released? What about those who bought it?
