[u/Vegetable-Bedroom-44]

Flying cars are priced in

[u/entered_bubble_50 → u/Vegetable-Bedroom-44]

I know this isn't really the sub for serious analysis, but here it is:

The launch was really just a distraction from the bad news they announced at the same time: they're not going to start production until 2028, and the price has yet to be announced.

Given 2028 is more than two weeks away, you have to add the standard "Elon factor" to that - i.e. Tesla's next product won't be available until after 2030. That is an agonizingly long time between models, and Tesla won't have anything competitive to sell in a year or two. The markets have had time to digest this now, and aren't happy.

[u/Alessrevealingname → u/entered_bubble_50]

Very cogent and rational analysis, however, the market has fallen for it 20 times before. Elon has taken more money out of TSLA than the company has made in profits in its entire history and people still don't see the fraud.

[u/Heelincal → u/Alessrevealingname]

people still don't see the fraud.

I think everyone sees it, but the number keeps going up so fuck it. I would wager that there's very few people that genuinely think TSLA is worth this valuation.

[u/subaruguy3333 → u/Heelincal]

Tesla bros are a real thing, they also think the trader in the white house, is there great and almighty leader!

[u/OhAitchEyeOh → u/Heelincal]

But how does anyone know when to pull out? If it really isn't worth it, isn't it effectively a ponzi scheme that will result in a lot of people holding the bags? Though, maybe that's true for everything anyway

[u/Willem_Dafuq → u/OhAitchEyeOh]

That’s the question of all bubbles. Tesla is essentially a bubble in and of itself. I’ll bet if the dems win in 2028 that may be the popping of it because that’ll probably be the end of any government cooperation with musk.

[u/Top5CutestPresidents → u/Heelincal]

I think when something is a meme people will pay more than even they think it is worth. I know people who have spent $1000 on a pokemon card. I bet if I asked them, do you think it was worth $1000 they'd probably say no they bought it as an investment...

[u/TacosAreJustice → u/Heelincal]

Have you seen the Tesla sub? They are convinced the guy is the baby of Einstein and Jesus but smarter.

[u/12345623567 → u/Alessrevealingname]

He'll just say FSD with blackjack and hookers tomorrow and it'll be green again. Or the postmaster-general announces that all deliveries will be done by Tesla from now on, or some other stupid shit.

I wish this stock traded on fundamentals, but it never has.

[u/almightywhacko → u/entered_bubble_50]

I'll go out on a limb and say that cars that can jump over semi-trucks using rocket engines will NEVER be approved for street use. So while it was an interesting performance, the final product will not meet the expectations Musk just set for it.

Further Tesla desperately needs a sub-$30k model to stay relevant. All the newest EV car companies aren't advertising gee-whiz features they're advertising affordability.

Instead Musk shows off a super-car that few aside from himself are likely able to afford... it just seems out of touch with the market especially after the debacle that was the Cybertruck.

[u/WhoPoopedMyPants420 → u/almightywhacko]

I think a lot of fanboys are overlooking the fact that the issue isn't even the flying. "Buhh they're flexing the feature is really meant for speed and traction". It's about being allowed to have those pressurized canisters in the car at all.

Look at the force that shit exerts and ask yourself what happens if one of these gets hit in the wrong spot. Fuckin fender bender sends your car through four kindergartens and an intercontinental flight. Whatever the final product looks like, it's sure as fuck not going to be this.

[u/Heelincal → u/WhoPoopedMyPants420]

Look at the force that shit exerts

And it's like, if they weren't lying with the car and it's a full production spec with a battery and all of the finish on the inside... that's a shitton of force being exerted to flip the car let alone keep it airborne. Again assuming they didn't just hollow out a shell of a car and lie.

[u/GSmithDaddyPDX → u/Heelincal]

I was hoping a human would walk out of the car at the end of any of the demonstrations. This isn't even something they're confident enough to put a person inside of.

Who is the product for?

Are car flying parks going to be built like rocket league? Who would both be able to afford that, and put their own body in the car? Maybe a spectator sport? Still not quite the product that makes sense right now with BYD etc. coming for the whole of the USA's lunch.

As an engineer though it was a really cool demo!

[u/Admmmmi → u/GSmithDaddyPDX]

Ngl a sport using these cars would be cool, but what kind of sport? Like, the cars have a limited range of what they can do so acrobatics on the air is probably out of question, specially if they put someone inside and rocket league is asking for someone to die, so what's left? Races? Again asking for someone to die .

[u/CoyotesOnTheWing → u/Heelincal]

The speedboost ones(back facing) will send granny to the moon if she's in a crosswalk behind someone who clicks that button, lol

[u/scruffmonkey → u/Heelincal]

Narrator : "They had in fact just hollowed out a shell and lied"

[u/Cabana_bananza → u/scruffmonkey]

We were clearly being mindfreaked during that presentation. Lots of convenient smoke, so probably mirrors too.

[u/almightywhacko → u/Heelincal]

I totally trust some tech bro not to fly that car into a building full of people or crash it on top of a school bus or something too. Or even worse, Tesla's computerized driving tech considering it's track record of "safe driving...."

It is just a ridiculous thing to build and advertise.

Again assuming they didn't just hollow out a shell of a car and lie.

Considering Tesla faked the Optimus roboto demo and then lied about them being remotely controlled by humans, and Musk lied about the Hyperloop, lied about Tesla FSD, lied about the release date of the Cybertruck, etc. I'm pretty sure this card was a hollowed out shell prepared only for this demo. I doubt Musk could fit those rocket boosters into the vehicle with a full size battery, compressed fuel tanks for the rockets and all the normal safety features required in modern cars.

But again, it is a ridiculous thing to advertise.

[u/Daveinatx → u/Heelincal]

I was reading up on it today, it's just a distraction or non-road use. Five seconds of full thrust, generates 5-10,000 PSIs, 80 kiloNewtons of force. Apparently the force is strong enough that it breaks the speed of sound. It would fuck up any cars close to it in traffic. 

[u/DasReap → u/WhoPoopedMyPants420]

Yeah, the pressure in those canisters is enough to turn you, your friends, and the cars next to you into human mist. No shot this sees public roads.

[u/Throot2Shill → u/almightywhacko]

I'll go out on a limb and say that cars that can jump over semi-trucks using rocket engines will NEVER be approved for street use.

What? A 2-ton aerial projectile with a highly flammable battery covered in canisters of compressed gas isn't gonna be street legal?? Damn...

[u/TacoshaveCheese → u/almightywhacko]

They've basically jumped the shark at this point. All that was missing was a shark.

If flying cars that give you a BJ while it self drives you aren’t priced in, Tesla stocks would be be cut in half

apparently not cuz it only took one to cause a VIX 22+ event

[u/Artistic-Jello3986 → u/West_Lavishness6689]

So regarded to think Tesla affects the overall market like that… pretty sure that is more related to the interest rate US debt spiral than this LOL

[u/the_TIGEEER → u/Vegetable-Bedroom-44]

I meaan.. Considering he promised them like 5 years ago.. No but we all know this probabbly won't be allowed on the road and won't generate that much revenue, right?

Edit: I mean, as much as I hate Elon, I just wanted to say that this does look pretty cool tech-wise. I wonder if it will be used for like, emergency braking in future cars. That would be pretty dope. But I really don't see how this could lead to revenue increasing or the stock increasing for any other reason.

[u/TestUserIgnorePlz → u/the_TIGEEER]

[u/ReturnOfTheKeing → u/TestUserIgnorePlz]

They'll be blaming it on the houthis minutes after the first crash

[u/Lashay_Sombra → u/the_TIGEEER]

But I really don't see how this could lead to revenue increasing or the stock increasing for any other reason.

Its useless for anything beyond stunts and while Musk claims it will go into 'production' into 2028 people can tell demand will be so limited its not actually worth setting up a production line for it

Its an expensive marketing//PR gimmick, nothing more nothing less or more

[u/GrafZeppelin127 → u/the_TIGEEER]

Yeah, replacing the passenger seat with a giant, expensive, volatile tank containing 250 kg of air compressed to absolutely preposterous pressures does not strike me as the future of potential safety features.

[u/Icarium__ → u/the_TIGEEER]

I just wanted to say that this does look pretty cool tech-wise

Sure, to an 8 year old. You'd think a company whose last major product was a complete flop would maybe focus on something practical that would actually give their cars an edge over the competition.

[u/headrush46n2 → u/Icarium__]

why bother, the stock price is completely divorced from reality anyway. They could spend the next 3 years printing a new line of coloring books and Elon would still be a trillionaire.

[u/DungeonsAndDradis → u/Icarium__]

WTF are you on about, mate? Their cars can now literally go over the competition. I just put all my mattress and sock drawer money into TSJA!

More embarrassing, the follow up from Epstein was him saying to his PA "deal with this autist for me, I can't even"

[u/WeAreAllFooked → u/chads_to_do_list_app]

He’s obsessed with the letter X because in ASCII it’s decimal value is 88

[u/automatic__jack → u/WeAreAllFooked]

I only doubt this bc I don’t think he knows ASCII

[u/TransBrandi → u/WeAreAllFooked]

The letter X was cool for a bit in the 90's, so see him just hanging onto that. Like I seriously doubt that the X-games were named that because if you translate X into ASCII it becomes 88, and then if you translate each of those 8's into the alphabet, you get HH which can be an abbreviation for Heil Hitler.

It seems too convoluted vs. the idea that he became enraptured with the letter X during its 15-minutes of fame in the 90's (and has never let go of it).

[u/Backshots4you → u/TransBrandi]

The X-games was shortened and stylized from Extreme Games

[u/Goldleader-23]

Stupid fucking cult falls for their snake oil salesman once again

[u/DevilsAdvocate77 → u/Goldleader-23]

Tesla killed the Model S and the Model X because there is no market for them, Cybertruck is selling at 10% of capacity, and yet the cult confidently believes they are going to start selling rocket cars to celebrities.

Reality check: Tesla's core product is a compact SUV aimed at suburban soccer moms.

[u/AlexRyang → u/DevilsAdvocate77]

Realistically, I think Tesla would have been much better off selling it’s batteries and drive train system to other companies, versus trying to be a car company.

[u/Suitable_Switch5242 → u/AlexRyang]

Tesla buys most of its batteries from Panasonic, LG, CATL, and BYD like everyone else.

[u/i_dont_wash_my_hands → u/Suitable_Switch5242]

Then what the hell are they doing at the giga factory

[u/Suitable_Switch5242 → u/i_dont_wash_my_hands]

The Nevada one is a joint venture with Panasonic. Panasonic builds the cells, Tesla assembles them into battery packs.

They are building their own cells in Texas but I think these are mostly going into Cybertrucks and are still behind the competition on energy density.

The vast majority of cars Tesla sells use battery cells from third party suppliers.

[u/GreenGully → u/i_dont_wash_my_hands]

avoiding tarifs, baby

[u/Ginger510 → u/AlexRyang]

From a perspective of someone who works for another OEM, even though I despise Elon, a lot of stuff about their cars and the systems they use are quite impressive. But a lot of why is because they are so different to other car manufacturers, they have so much data from their cars that gets amalgamated to help with diagnosis etc. I’m not sure that would ever work if you’ve got other people using the tech.

Does anyone in this thread actually believe tesla will ever get close to putting this into production or that yesterday's demonstration actually involved a drivable car, not just a ultra light shell with ballonish tires sitting on some lunar lander parts he stole from nasa?

[u/ConLawHero → u/subaruguy3333]

If they do, I have some bridges to sell them as well. There's never going to be flying cars unless it's 100% computer controlled. Driving in 2D is difficult enough for most people, I wouldn't trust 99.9999% people to drive in 3D.

Also, rocket engines on a fucking car? We don't even use those on planes unless you're talking about certain military aircraft, missiles or rockets.

He can't even get actual self-driving and I feel like that is far more likely to be accomplished before anything like he did in the demo.

[u/searcherguitars → u/ConLawHero]

Tesla can't make cars drive in 2D.

[u/OurSeepyD → u/subaruguy3333]

Didn't you hear Musk?? He said "um, and this uh, um, car is gonna uh hu hu hu um so yeah this is actually gonna be production ready! yeah! like a real car on the road!"

[u/avdpos → u/OurSeepyD]

[u/General-Zombie5075 → u/subaruguy3333]

Yes, a lot of people genuinely believe they're about to buy a car with on-demand backflip hover technology. I don't know what to tell you. Apparently paint chips are delicious.

[u/Saturn_winter → u/subaruguy3333]

I like how it's basically just a bomb on wheels lmao. From googling it uses 250kg of gas compressed at around 10,000 psi into a 400l and 200l tank, which is roughly 15 kilograms of TNT in explosive force. Imagine rear ending one of these things and vaporizing an entire section of the highway lmao

I believe the technical term for it is vaporware.

[u/freedfg → u/subaruguy3333]

That's what I don't get about this talking point. I've been seeing people saying "It might not be in a real car, but it is cool!"

No it isn't. It's in an empty shell with reinforced frame and 5psi tires.

[u/AirconGuyUK → u/freedfg]

It was cool.

It was also dumb. But dumb stuff can be cool.

[u/eligodfrey → u/subaruguy3333]

I'm curious if people think this car is even real. I'm not saying it's definitely fake but the demo had so many markers of subterfuge it read like comedy. Nothing in the shots for scale, no human in sight - including inside the car - it was unclear if we were even seeing a live demo or a recording. At bare minimum, that vehicle was nowhere close to the weight of a production car.

Using 60 year old tech was certainly a choice, except back then they could actually sustain flight.

[u/FundamentalEnt → u/kueowirnzcd]

That’s their MO my friend. Rebrand everything as new and exciting. Like Starlink with LEO satellite orbits. Oh wow look at the low latency. But please don’t look at why the rest of the industry has not done this when the tech is old as hell.

[u/morganrbvn → u/FundamentalEnt]

Starlink is mainly unique since they can launch much cheaper than previously possible.

[u/PossibleVariety7927 → u/FundamentalEnt]

Starlink is actually profitable, by a lot, and huge, unlike the rest of the industry.

Just because something is old tech doesn't mean there isn't a lot of room for innovation.

[u/Kvetch__22 → u/freesects]

This about sums uo my reaction here.

Cool tech demo? Sure. Practical? No.

We don't need more cool tech right now. We need better and cheaper tech. I'd be more impressed if Tesla demoed an EV that retails for under <$20k.

Which is why I'm fundamentally bearish on Tesla long term despite it's defiance of gravity. Tesla will never scale a useful product to market again because Elon is fundamentally convinced the average consumer will need to perish for humanity to advance intonwhatever era he is trying to move into.

[u/Energy_Bol]

As cool as it was to see, I fail to see how manipulating a 2 ton vehicle using thrusters that were designed to manipulate 1000-3000 ton rockets is supposed to be technologically and mechanically impressive.

Cool? Abso-fucking-lutely.

Impressive? Not really.

When you’re the company in charge of pioneering Stage-0 takeoff capabilities and discovering how to feasibly reuse rockets by catching them, making a standard consumer car do a backflip is, like, the bare minimum.

[u/enjoimike49 → u/Energy_Bol]

Regardless of cool,impressive or any other word on that spectrum, is this actually useful and the answer is fuck no.

[u/Bronek0990 → u/enjoimike49]

Is any non-road-legal hypercar actually useful? 

[u/ImaginationExact4518 → u/enjoimike49]

It was a shell of a vehicle using technology from the 1960's. Armstrong flew one better. It was cool to anyone that wanted to see a 60+ year old maneuver performed w a cybertruck shell. Suckers. The reason nobody else does it is because it's a waste of money for something done long ago. Not to mention, he takes gobs of handouts from the gov. I dont want my money going to useless bro bullshit.

[u/CliffDraws → u/enjoimike49]

Well in fairness on that front, there is nothing about the roadster that was ever going to be practical.

If you were the type with a ton of disposable money and liked to take your car to the track then this would appeal to you. 1 second 0-60 time and the ability to take curves at near full speed would be ridiculous.

That said, I doubt there are enough people in that category to matter. And a healthy percentage of those are gonna probably kill themselves with this car if they do buy it.

[u/alaphamale → u/CliffDraws]

You were going to be able to drive it on the road.

[u/CliffDraws → u/alaphamale]

I don’t see any way you can put a car with a gas canister that can literally shoot out enough force to move a car onto the road. Think about what happens if you are sitting behind a guy at a red light when he decides to use his sonic jets to take off and destroys your bumper.

[u/Gold-Border30 → u/CliffDraws]

Or you rear end him and you both explode in a fiery ball….

[u/0oDADAo0 → u/Energy_Bol]

And its not going to be in the market because it is not consumer friendly, or consumer ready, and regulations, and a bunch of others things, its basically a show in the circus and we aint gonna see it in the market for at least 20 years

[u/ToastSpangler → u/0oDADAo0]

What the fuck, I was literally saving my money to melt my neighbors face off as I parallel park. Do I really need a whole fucking rocket now??

[u/xj98jeep → u/Energy_Bol]

I agree, it's literally a movie stunt and nothing more. James bond did it in the 70s, and the dukes of hazard did it in the 80-90s. This time they just added fog

[u/bigdipboy → u/Energy_Bol]

It wasn’t even 2 ton. They took the batteries out of it to enable that stunt. You watched a shell with rockets on it.

[u/Massive-Aspect-2152 → u/Energy_Bol]

[u/KingPanzerVIII → u/Energy_Bol]

I dunno, from a controls and kinematics perspective it's neat. That kind of thrust from a cold gas thruster is neat. I see zero ways they'd be able to incorporate "demo" CGT performance into a sellable, shippable vehicle, let alone making it road legal. For that, I'm not impressed.

[u/DoggoNamedDisgrace → u/KingPanzerVIII]

Having that amount of pressure in a gas tanks is AFAIK the equivalent to driving around with 6 to 14 kilos of TNT in your car.

This will never, ever be road legal because it makes your car explode from the inside upon impact. Elon is just banking on soaping the eyes of investors with this fucking idiocy.

[u/Hot-Train7201 → u/DoggoNamedDisgrace]

Nonsense! What family wouldn't want to drive the kids around in a literal bomb-on-wheels?

[u/_Echoes_ → u/KingPanzerVIII]

Theres a reason why you cant see inside that car, the entire cabin is being taken up by the storage for the cold gas thrusters. Id be suprised if theres even enough room for a driver, or if they just preprogrammed all the movements into it.

[u/simsimulation → u/_Echoes_]

I mean. Why is no one talking about the fucking spinal injuries this would cause? Of course there’s no driver, or passenger. Or hamburger.

[u/spez_eats_nazi_ass → u/Energy_Bol]

There is no way that was a full battery pack and likely just a fiberglass shell. Also it apparently had a wire/guide safety.

[u/AdmirePunishment → u/spez_eats_nazi_ass]

Oh I thought this was just a cool meme. I wasn't aware Elon was trying to reinvent the Xgames.

This tool saw that other idiot jump his rental tezler on the streets of San Francisco or wherever, and thought, "we can improve this, turn it into a feature".

What a fucking moron.

Making people bark like trained seals though...

Wasn't two tons when they flipped it. I guarantee the batteries were removed.

[u/Protect-Their-Smiles]

Needs more capital to continue the charade, create photo-shoot garbage to get the seals clapping for hype.

The Musk Method.

[u/Other-Importance-214]

PE ratio of 326 is absurd

If I was some major investor the fact their "flying car" was just some air tanks strapped to a car would be more than worrisome . 

Edit: basically Tesla discovered fast and the furious NOS

The people on Twitter think the libs have no answer for his amazing show of technology

[u/redaemon → u/LiveForMeow]

Is there also a suspiciously large number of "I hate that guy but you have to admit this is awesome" comments?

[u/Freak-Of-Nurture- → u/redaemon]

it’s awesome but useless. As an investor i would shit myself too.

[u/HutchOne23]

Yeah but the car did a kick flip with gas thrusters.

[u/Cdanole]

The majority of stocks looks like this today fyi

[u/Fit_Kangaroo_3437]

For fucking once the actual proper reaction to Elon’s bullshit

[u/Ket_Yoda_69]

Imagine those stunt emergency bullshit systems going off by accident while the car's sitting in your garage lol

[u/Significant-Risk931 → u/Ket_Yoda_69]

0% chance this is street legal anywhere or ever ships to a single customer.

[u/iddereddi]

Jumped the shark.

[u/Widespreaddd]

That is one heavy vehicle. I wonder what the stopping distance is. Would the downforce fans help by much?

[u/mviz3d]

This has to be the funniest thing on the internet rn

[u/RipWhenDamageTaken]

These idiots don’t understand that focusing that much in car development means that Tesla will be priced as a car company, in which case valuation should drop 80%

[u/SufficientWafer5950]

I did notsee that coming

[u/Familiar_While2900]

Love the illustration. Boss

Anyone member when Trump didn’t know his name? Then besties. Then not. Now besties again. TSLA to 1,000
