The plan is for the vehicle to have an air compressor on board, I don’t know if the vehicle in the demo has it though.
But yes, compressed air is typically electricity with extra steps.
This comic has been posted in every single fucking community that’s even remotely relevant, and many that aren’t. We get it.
Also, it uses cold gas thrusters with compressed air as the propellant, so the carbon footprint is similar to driving any other EV.
The Roadster FV uses cold gas thrusters, IE compressed air. There’s no carbon footprint apart from the energy used to run the compressor.
Are you opposed to EVs in general for the same reason? Because very few places have zero carbon electricity.
Someone has built an actual, one to one hot wheels car and track though.
It’s a supercar, being practical isn’t the point.
What’s obvious to some is a revelation to others, let them have their moment.
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.


I know plenty of retired people who do productive things with their time. Unlike this lady.


Spending your time inconveniencing delivery robots is 100% jobless behaviour.
Is that really the best thing you have to do with your time?
Eh, even then I think your typical German sedan would be better on the autobahn than a supercar.
Supercars in general have no practical purpose, and people buy them. Being cool is the entire sales pitch.
Supercars are some of the most impractal things on the planet, yet people buy them all the time.
A supercar that can briefly fly? If that actually makes it to production, people will absolutely buy one.


Right now, there are no rugged phones for sale that have the Magsafe system, or it’s successor, QI2.
So, I’m just nursing my existing phone along until they’re available. My USB port stopped working about two years ago.


Argentina continues to claim sovereignty over the 700 islands that make up the Falklands and has dismissed a 2013 referendum in which 99.8% of the islands’ 3,600 residents voted to remain a British territory, with only three votes against.
That’s incredible, I bet everyone on the island knows who they are as well.
Personally, I’d love to see the UK respond to this with a blockade of Argentinian ports.


Tupac was someone who grew up dirt poor, in an incredibly poor and dangerous area, and made his money from being talented and hard working.
People like him are not the enemy.


The fact that Jaguar, a car company, ran an advert that didn’t show a single car will never not be silly.
Also, that thing is ugly.
So? If the information they provide is accurate, what’s the big deal?
