alt Hacker NewsAm I missing something? At what point did the car fly?
The thrusters were able to cushion a fall.
That seems useful in ruining the ending of Thelma and Louise, but isn’t really a flying car.

There were multiple demos; its possible you only saw one, and then raced to comment about something you had incomplete knowledge about.

It flies the same as a chicken. Cushion and long jumps but not flying as in flying car or plane.

"It's not flying, it's falling with style!"
I think this is pretty unique demonstration for something that theoretically may be street legal one day.

yes it cushioned the fall, but not sure if it was overly modified beyond realistic car weight for production / public.

Yes, you missed the middle of the video.
There is a video where it is flying over some other Teslas. Actually taking off, barrel roll and landing
