You can preorder a Roadster right now for 50k

I would assume that price is the non rocket one

I already defined it and predicted exactly what the Roadster would do instead

I hope nobody is sending crypto to the link I posted. That’s not it.

Fair question. I wonder what you get for $50k

Did they do pricing for all models or is that the only version? I'm not familiar with how Tesla does tiers

You should go google that. Flying is exactly what it will take to clear that distance.

This would be in contrast to what the Roadster is likely to do, which is projectile motion.

You just nailed it.

SFPLC claimed there was no such thing as lawfare. Then his girl Omar got in big trouble and he's been crying for a week. Oh, and Jack Smith spying on Trump supporters was simply business-as-usual, too.

Your argument means this skateboarder flew. You want to take that stance?

I'm not shocked you are so wrong

I like Elon and think this is incredible technology, as I've posted ITT.

This is insane because it is something that people said would never be possible...

The fact that this is being done with all onboard repopulating air is nuts.

This is your personal definition of flying. No one else's.

Again, like a shitty lawyer, you caught yourself making a stupid claim, then tried to save yourself by restricting "flying" to your own personal definition, one you thought the lest likely to apply to a car.

It pushed itself off a ramp

It pushed itself over other objects

There was no aerodynamics lift or sustaining motion in the air

Sure, elevating more than natural gravity promotes. The ability to leave the ground with an object that defies gravity. The ability to defy the laws of gravity.
