0-60 in 0.81 seconds

Underbody fans that produce 2G of downforce (yes, it can drive upside down)

Targeted top speed of mach .5 ~380 mph.

And oh yeah, it can fly.

Impressive demo.

I should've bought more Tesla stock.

The talking starts at 5 minutes. The demo at 10 minutes.

Elon haters be hating on the greatest innovator of all time. OH and he's surrounded by Can-Do Engineers and designers that don't have H1B Visas. This man and his companies are humiliating the legacy aerospace and automotive manufacturers. They're so far advanced than anyone else. This is what happens when you take off the shackles and just Do It!

Anyone seen the Tesla Bot videos? He's got the factory already. In Communist California of all places. Place your orders. Forget this car. It's the Robot that will revolutionize our world. Robot much cheaper than a Tesla car.

So Ferrari, Porsche, McLaren, all scrambling and thinking what are we going to do to upstage this?

Legacy carmakers are already screwed by Tesla's economies of scale and extreme manufacturing efficiency. And now they will have humanoids to build the cars, increasing their efficiency even more. Tesla/SpaceX and all their internal suppliers are working together to make their products dominate the marketplace. They supply their own. Only thing Chevy, Ford, and Stellantis can do is sue. They simply cannot match Tesla's economic advantage because they're saddled with legacy costs and huge inefficiency along with top heavy corporate structure. They'll just blame Elon. The Model Y is the #1 selling vehicle in the world. Because they're affordable and they are high performance and they cost very little to own. Oops! Sorry Ford. I love my Ranger but its technology and efficiency is stuck in the old world, and Ford continuous to nickel and dime its customers with the help of their dealers. They just won't change their business model until they die off. Sorry to say.

BTW I don't own any Teslas. Someday I will. Like I said I love my Ranger and have no plans to buy anything new. But from an outside observer, the writing is on the wall and it's blaring loud and clear. Yet nobody at GM, Ford, etc., are listening. They'll just keep taking taxpayers and customer money to keep themselves afloat. GM took $500M of taxpayers dollars to develop E-cars a few years ago. And what did they do? Release super expensive boutique electric vehicles then double downed on Gas powered cars. LOL! At least Ford didn't take any government handouts. Yet.

Let me know when we can fully charge a daily driver EV in under 10 minutes and there are charging stations with the same density as gas stations. Until then, I‘m still not interested.
In China they can charge to 80% in five minutes. We will be there before long.

Porsche released their new Hypercar the Mission S yesterday as well.

They couldn't have picked a worse day if they tried.

Their reveal thread on X is getting mogged into oblivion.
