Yesterday, Elon Musk unveiled a new car. This time, he came up with a flying Tesla. The car can literally drive at a 90-degree angle, turn in mid-air, and descend smoothly. And it accelerates to 60 mph in just a second. The car flies
Speaker A
using compressed air tanks, so you shouldn't count on long flights, but you can definitely jump with it. This car will go on sale in a year and a half, and the price is still unknown.
Speaker A
But if you've already imagined yourself flying over traffic jams, I'm going to disappoint you. In most countries, if the police see that, they'll just arrest you. Also, it is simply very dangerous. There are far too many idiots on the roads, and even if they

have enough money for a flying car, that doesn't mean they'll be careful. Therefore, most likely, the car will go on sale without the flight function.
