In the Electrek Podcast, we discuss the most popular news in the world of sustainable transport and energy. In this week’s episode, we'll focus on the…
It's more like an engineering... b the nigerian like demonstration and i guess from that was impressive because obviously we have the image right now of the the kickflip uh over the entire tesla lineup which extremely impressive because you know i look at the height here that's uh has to be like what six meters probably
yeah more and that car was on the ground it was on the ground and lift itself up with trust from cold air thrusters and you know compressed nitrogen All the way up in the air, then add enough truss left to make a pretty smooth landing.
And then obviously there was the ramp in the back that you saw, which, you know, when I saw the ramp, I knew exactly what was going to happen.
And I knew because the way that the ramp ended, I'm like, they're going to jump off that thing and kickflip to land on their feet.
That's pretty much, I don't know about you, but that's pretty much where my praise ends.
The main thing probably, and that's not even with the delays and everything, is I would have a little bit more respect for Tesla and Elon Musk in particular because he's the one that led the whole thing.
The whole thing, they would have introduced those demonstrations by saying something like, what you're about to see is absolutely crazy.
And it is a good demonstration of some of the technology that we are introducing to the roadster pushed to their limits.
And technically, in another video, Friends of Lawson said there's going to be a Ford.
There's going to be like a base one too that we don't know the details about.
