I mean it is possible, as was shown in a demonstration McMurtry did. In fact, I would think it’s more difficult to use magnets to do that. I’d believe this is just a giant fan car.
There’s no way that it gets more than like 3 minutes of runtime from a full charge with that downforce mode on, especially the flight model with all the extra weight of the thrusters and compressed gas tanks.
so they say that the planned model you could theoretically buy “by invite only” with all the flying features would be a one seater. The model that did the demo was probably much much lighter than you could make a salable car. I do not think that it will be possible to kickflip a car that is gonna weigh around 3500 lbs. my guess is that enough battery and copv tank to perform the demos was probably less than 1000 lbs of car.

Tanks are probably carbon fiber, and the other parts are likely super light too.
They did likely add a special secondary tank and gut most of the rest of the cars that ‘flew’… I did read somewhere that they only had 1 seat.
