Those thrusters would make parking a breeze though up on a rooftop, right?

It could hover up through a large elevator shaft into a spot as well. That way no one gets annoyed by the sight and sound from the street. I wonder how nimble it is in the air.

Most of us could never afford a roadster in any form, and just like to see cool stuff on the internet.

It clearly does not look like a smaller Cybertruck though. You're just wrong there.
