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

Vtols or e-vtols are absolutly the future, just think of all the money beeing saved on not needing roads and maintaining them and how many less accidents especially with wild life there will be. The future looks bright, all we need is better batteries so we get some decent range and price but that will come with quantum computing in a few years.

He’s wrong. These are 45-55 decibels.

Instead of going down 50 stories in a building, travel across ground to get to another buildings level, just go to the top floor and take an E-VTOL from a platform on top of building, to another platform.

Treat them like blimps in the early 1900s, have Platforms at top of TALL buildings in dense cities. Youre essentially trying to make building to building transport without sky bridges and plateau travel on the ground

We already have underground tunnels they are called subways.

Es x eso que no ay al #100. X ciento bolando comercial o carga no tiene la potencia . Para bolar si buelan en pruebas y y bideos pero no

The noise will be less than 50% of a standard helo.

musk is stupid

No. They are coming.

Astute remarks - Robinson Helicopters did it right - they took a proven design, integrated a battery, and their solution has better range, safety margins, etc than ANY of the "new" very similar eVTOL's that are prone to many problems to include far increased Vortex Ring State of their rotor systems.

He’s correct… As a GA pilot, I’ve already lost a prop and had a wing damaged by a 13 year old kid flying drones, I could have been killed or killed someone’s family. I hate drones with a passion, should be illegal. I can’t imagine a time when these noisy ass machines are buzzing 24/7. Hard pass……

People have too much money.

Sounds like someone's scared of the competition 🕺😅jkjk Elon please dont turn my car off...and internet.. These will be the norm by 2060...probably a model v version will come out lol

Couldn’t agree more! I think it’s a sweet idea it’s just got way more cons then has for pros

drones will be big market for military purposes imagine thousands of chinese flys attaking like metrix

As much as I dislike this, I have to agree; he has a point. The idea of having multiple thousands of, essentially, giant drones (fucking basically miniature helicarriers) in the airspace all at the same time vying to arrive at some of the same destinations sounds incredibly dangerous! There would have to be very limited use, in general, as well as scheduled flight traffic to avoid colliding with other airborne vehicles. It would completely change/revolutionize transportation if we could get past factors dealing with wind and weather. Not to mention, the power source would have to be immense.

Seeing people in the comment section disagree shows you that people have no sense at all.

Certified clown

Before this comment, I thought he was an engineer. Larger blades makes less noise. Toroidal blades make less noise. Staying at higher altitudes reduce the sound problem. Landing in grass deals nicely with the wind problem. You could also lower the carriage by cables to reduce wind, noise, and enable drop-off and pick-up virtually anywhere. You can also create air lanes of travel over cities to keep them from flying over people's backyards and such. We already have that, to some extent, with airplanes. An engineer solves problems. Mr. Musk is acting more like a scientist in pessimistically declaring what is or is not so. An engineer makes it so.

I like this thing called an eccentric a**hole billionaire that's low key trying to destroy the world as we know it. But we already have cliche Bond villains.

he is gutted he did mot go that way, like he dissed Hydrogen engines, then 9 months later said he was making a hydrogen Tesla.

Wait....isnt this the same guy building robots & putting chips in human brains?! 🤦‍♂️

I think Lilium from Bavaria (Germany) is one of the best eVOTL. Not a two or three-seater, but a flying taxi with more people. It will take some time, but the future is getting closer.

He makes sense but I still want one. The only reason I haven't bought one is because they don't have a gas electric hybrid. Yeh, I'm gonna spend 100k to fly around for 20 minutes 😂

I suspect he's right. The energy required to lift 4 people, their clobber, the machinery to lift them and the fuel to provide that energy is immense. That's why helicopters are so big, noisy and expensive. A car is a helicopter that doesn't take off. Look how much simpler it is... and cheaper... and quieter, just because it outsources it's lifting to the roads.

Musk has no problem changing his mind over time. It's just a matter of figuring out a technology that wouldn't have those issues. For wide adoption of VTOL travel, they need to be almost completely automated, also with many redundancy features for safety reasons. For the major impact of noise pollution, I think adjustable wing VTOLs would make a difference by rotating their wings to glide and also reduce their RPMs while in flight. There are already companies like JOBY that do exactly that to a great success. But I'm not sure why people are bashing Elon for just about anything. He disrupts enough industries as it is. Tesla will most probably develop the kind of batteries that will make eVTOLs practical and approachable for consumer use.

🤡

Joby and Archer are very quiet

The BIG QUESTION. .Does it have enough energy to be able to be useful?

I would say to musk, why don’t you develop a quieter propulsion system? No! He would prefer to keep you on the ground in one of his evs powered by electricity while he flys his really quiet rockets. 🚀 🧨

Yeah well what happens when the sun goes down, elon? Sad!

Battery Technology is too old, improve energy storage and maybe, but right now, we are not there yet, maybe in 50 more years.

Joby made a super quit model

Lilium sounds like an ocean wave with its shrouded, ducted - fan, not a chopper. And, once it's cruising above 2,000 feet AGL it will be hard to notice, especially conpared to the huge rotored devices like Archer that utilize mutilple large rotors (larger than the average light aircraft), making a Piper Cub sound like a church mouse. Lilium cracked it.

So he said the price should go up really high So it can only be access by very few people or have cars that don't use propeller and stable with that. I bet it using only electricity or magnetic field from under the earth .

The clown at the end 🤣🤣🤣

*That’s my man!!!!* ❤️❤️❤️❤️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

I bet the same discussion must be happening when henry ford introduced model T some 100 years ago as they wish horses to stay forever. I bet elons great grandfather ask the similiar question. Maybe its in their dna as dna is inherited thru generations 😂😂😂😂

Elon Musk is NOT a clown! For one, the dude may have single-handedly saved free speech in America. Secondly, he is working very hard to make humanity an inter-planetary species. He is also absolutely correct regarding most VTOLS. However, at least one company seems to be dialing it in correctly. I'm placing my bets on Lilium.

Because you don't need to be a pilot to drive a VTOL

A. Honestly Joby is pretty quiet. WAY more quiet than a typical rotor, single or twin prop aircraft. B. I’ve been a pilot for nearly twenty years. In that time, we haven’t gotten any closer to “affordable” private air travel than we were when the Wright brothers flew, so this point is moot. The average person is not going to see any more VTOLs that they see helicopters currently. Stupid argument is stupid.

Odd 🤔 Didn’t he try to purchase Lilium (LILM)? And, they said no. Can someone please correct me with accuracy? And, Lilium doesn’t use propellers / drone-like. Lilium uses jet power.

People can barely operate cars in 2D. Flying is like 3D. The amount of fui landing in trees, hitting power lines, landing on rooftops, crashing into other vtols. The licensing system would have to be an aviation license at least.

Yes I agree. He offers a different perspective that makes sense.

Now thats dangerous at first it shos the blades in tubes but then it shows then open i would never buy that sort of thing...

Na that’s valid

He’s 1000% right.

And double decker train, bus, tramway, plane and 6 wheels cars
