It’s impossible for this car to beat the vaporware allegations. If you see the car that “flies” in the video… it’s a prototype on a ladder frame chassis with no driver. It’s not even a tech demo, it’s a publicity stunt.

None of these ‘groundbreaking’ features will make it to market, mark my words.

And is anybody actually able to suffer through the entire presentation? My entire body writhed with cringe when I had to listen to Musk make up a VMAX target of ‘Mach 0.5’.

Mate Rimac made a good point when the Tesla Roadster’s rocket boosters were announced. There are MAJOR major downsides, including massive added equipment weight (tanks, compressors, valves, and nozzles) that acts as dead weight immediately after the air/gas is expended in 2 to 3 seconds, which completely overloads tires and chassis dynamics.

This dork is trying to impress people with attention-grabbing impossibilities once again. The Cybertruck is totally different to the concept he unveiled. It sucks and this will too.
