Let’s say they actually did release this and it worked safely. What’s the use case for being able to jump 100 feet? I can’t think of anything other than to skip in front of the car in front of you in heavy traffic, or in other words, to be a colossal jackass to other road users.
It was a dumb stunt and one that doesn’t show of the models unique abilitys or features. Supposedly if you are a stunt driver you can get it for stunts but I can’t see many being sold as drivers like to use old cars because it’s not a big lose when they make a mistake and crash.
Somehow even as a stunt car it’s less impressive for the fact that the amount of precision required means that the whole thing is computer-controlled anyway. If I go to see a stunt car show I want to see stunt drivers performing with their cars, not just sitting in them while an AI does everything.
None of the rocket versions (and probably also the “suction” version neither) will be road legal. The cold gas thrusters they use are incredibly loud (and unsafe for anyone standing around) and the fan system spits out any debris on the road towards the cars behind it.
FDA has decided it is okay to poison food and EPA has decided it’s okay to poison the water…What makes you think automotive safety laws.will.be upheld?
The car is ridiculously expensive. So it’s not like a poor will.be driving it causing problems for.the rich.
Pretty sure society has decided rich people.can.cause problems at the expense of others and commit crimes as much as they want.

If it ever gets produced, it will never be road legal. Its a meme to drive stock up, this is the use case.
Of course, I am thinking of a future where Trump & co. isn’t president who can allow something like this on the streets.

I was looking forward to the reports of Musk influencers getting themselves killed.

wait. they said the actual car will have them? I assumed it was only for the show

Not to mention where the hell does the car land, and how does it guarantee it won’t land on another car, a pedestrian, etc.
Sudden high pressure gas release tends to deflesh anyone next to it. Yes it is as bad as it sounds.
If he ever COULD deliver, it would make the most hilarious “migrant caravan” if a bunch of Mexicans were flipping their cars over the Border wall.
And you can do it once and then you need to refill for 7 hours. I’d just a stunt
