Do you agree with Elon Musk? Tesla eVTOL #shorts

Elon Musk on Tesla eVTOL #shorts

[TheDuckAndRogerTheHorse]

I like the idea of hyper loop but we already have these things called trains.

[captainjackson]

Man I’m a truck driver. I’m in traffic every day for 12hr. I’ve dreamed about VTOLs for years. I know so many people who would love to fly in and out to work over ground traffic. This will definitely change the game. If they have some affordable way for people to utilize their services, it’s a rap from there. I’m saving up to take helicopter classes just for this.

[exquisiteeventsandpartypla]

He may be upset because ex-Tesla employees are working at places like Joby and Archer Aviation

[copperphilosophy]

Joby is gonna make such a difference in the world next year

[trodd]

If the lightsaber was invemted, he'd say we already have swords.

[moonyc]

I think he’s being negative because he didn’t invest or create one.

[glennpeterson]

He’s 100 right. Personal VTOLs will be like dirt bikes. Not road legal, but do what you like on your own property

[unfulano]

Archer aviation is testing in Chicago. Windy city ! The performance does great.

[tylerelli]

Honestly the only way these would work on a massive scale is if they were automated. You would input your destination and if there is parking available then the car would take you to the nearest air route and straight to your destination. I really can’t see people taking things wherever they want but we will see

[plagu]

Sure, we can get to Mars, but flying cars? That's just sky-high chaos.

[fanxia]

Elon is smart but he won't be right about everything.

[FPVREVIEWS]

It’s true what he’s saying. Those are inherent practical issues.
Uses will probably not be in wide application urban environments.
But still great for other use cases

[MaxPowers.]

I actually agree with him. Having individually piloted VTOLs all over the city would be a disaster. I think the only way it could work is if they were autopiloted.

[lukesmith]

I think a standard number of EVTOLs for regional flights only within an hour commuting (via car) would be the most appropriate for the market. At least that’s what I think will probably occur given the technology today.

[devinstetler]

As a helicopter pilot, he ain’t wrong.

[solariotech.wallet]

Not everyone likes Starlink with initial constellation target of some 4K LEO satellites. But, hey it works & there’s a market for it. Likewise, eVTOL’s have a niche transport role that must surely be encouraged. Someday, the tech will mature as well.

[wlee]

He's terribly wrong here. eVTOLS satisfy a sub-helicopter need and are based on a renewal energy source. That means they can expand to become a means to cover distances quickly and cheaply. That includes difficult, unsurfaced terrain too.

[Raydio]

I agree with him to a certain extent but I DO think VTOLs will succeed

[Seastallion]

The blink and you miss clown face was very mature.

[fanxia]

And, the simple idea is to replace helicopters.
