…they think they’ll be flying them within 4 years despite battery tech being a fair way off? Huh?
Gotta pretend for the shareholders
2028 conveniently is just far enough away for us to have forgotten all about those claims by then
The Elon strategy.
“FSD in two years…”

Can I just have a government subsidised EV so I can stop polluting pls
Fuck off.
Hydrogen might actually make sense for these, since you need extreme energy density. But I doubt they’ll be very widespread because of airspace restrictions and faa approval. I don’t see how they’d be that much more common than city helicopters are now.
Oh the humanity…
Paris will ban them before thier release lol
Yeah maybe if the wars in the world subside.

This is not to say that I want war, but to acknowledge the fact that it absolutely fuel innovation
Broken window fallacy.
The same funds used to pay for wars and wartime rnd could just be spent directly on rnd.
Could be, but usually aren’t.
That is fair, I mainly wanted to counter the claim that wars won’t advance tech
