Im no elon hater, im not an elon fan, I just think this car was 100% a gimmick car built to fleece rich retards.
1) stuff of 3500lbs does not fly around like that, as someone who's jumped a fair share of 500$ clunkers in the desert, everything in my body knew that car was a lightened gimmick the moment I saw it
2) according to tesla their rocket car version weighs 3500lbs and can produce 80,000lbs of thrust, just to get 3500lbs to 25 feet would require 80k of thrust, thats not including the kickflip or the catch or the landing
3) the high res pictures of the car doing the kickflip so some obvious ladder type structure which to me makes the car look like a purpose built shell
I have no issues with anything other than that, I just was like okay that doesnt seem right the instant I saw it
By all means willing to hear any technical argument of how this is possible with a full weight car, and fully willing to eat my words
Oh and ive seen some people claim both flip cars had people driving them, I also seriously doubt this claim and the car the rolled up on stage was a different car
