Musk showed off the car at an event outside Waco, Texas, with a demonstration that saw the car use a mixture of high-powered fans and thrusters to drive up an inverted ramp, spin around, and ease itself to a landing on the pavement below. The car also used the thrusters to lift itself over a Cybercab, Cybertruck, Tesla Semi, Model Y, and Model 3 while in motion.

“This will be the actual car that’s on the roads,” Musk said of the car, which Tesla showed accelerating 0 to 60 miles per hour in one second. “It literally is just going to puff itself up, and uh, and be able to do this, these maneuvers whenever you’d like.”

    oh wow. when I saw this before I did not really look at it but this uses a pressure tank. so like its not a moller it can just sorta do stunts. it can’t fly for an extended period of time. curiously if they made another speed racer I could see this as a mach 5 or being used in a james bond.
