Besides off New Jersey recently, where are the E-VTOL's that have been talked about for so many years? There were so many articles 10 years ago showing our skies would be full of these by 2020, utilizing Americas smaller regional airports as initial hubs. Of course I guess I'm still waiting for my Amazon drone delivered pizza I was promised in 2015 too. 😂
Given the general aviation aftermath of 911 and the current situation of a sky full of all kinds of drones, piloted aircraft, etc., I can't begin to imagine what sorts of USA state and federal regulations and controls would be brought to bear against a flying car. What happens when you crash onto someone's house, or onto someone? Where can you fly? How high? Would you be treated like a drone with respect to the type of ground objects you can't fly over or near? It might be fun in a very rural setting with no airports or meaningful population centers nearby. But then it become quite the chore to get "there' and back in an EV.
15 minute flight? Is that 15 minute total flight time? If so then the true flight time is 7.5 minutes (thus 15 round trip). Better know exactly where you’re going! Unless the vehicle can follow/track the aircraft! Then it’ll be available at the end of a 1 way 15 minute flight.
I would be like a kid in a candy store at CES. Do you think the Xpeng drone will ever have a parachute? If so, sign me up! Thanks for showing us some cool stuff.
I am a huge fan of your channel Kim and I understand the urge to cover a broad spectrum of new technologies - especially when they are as "cool" as this one. I'd just like to hi-light your power as influencers though and how covering a product like this (or not) is an opportunity to use your "influence capital". I am sure you agree (as will many of your viewers) that the environmental crisis while maybe not talked about in detail so much in these types of orbits, it does underpin the reasons that these technologies are so important to make our societies more sustainable. There is no doubt that this product is really cool and desirable, but I hit "X" the minute I heard that it is a gasoline hybrid. I always hit "X" when I hear hybrid. Hybrid technology is over 30 years old and in my eyes, in 2025 it = COMPROMISE. The Climate crisis is an emergency and we will not get out of it building machines that we do not need using compromising standards. Please at every opportunity let it be known that emissions are no longer acceptable. Any company involved with energy and transportation that does not have a ruthless zero emission commitment should not be hi-lighted IMO. As big a fan that I am of Tesla, given their scale and success, in a smaller way they too are guilty - sure their entire product line is 100% electric, their factories are covered with solar (Brownie points across the board there), but how come 17 years into Tesla's success story they are still using fossil fueled service vehicles? You, your husband and family are definitely super cool! It is a joy to watch your conversations, adventures and reviews. But it would be even cooler if you had a call to action for your followers and society as a whole that we need to make a stand and put product designers feet to the fire which they are fueling! Still a huge fan of the channel - even tempted to watch the rest of this 6 wheel SUV / drone thing review, but I will not! I am taking a stand! There are some instances where hybrids are a step forwards (for example, I saw a video on the Fully Charged show about Diesel Electric Hybrid 400 Ton mining trucks operating at one of the world's largest copper mines in Canada. There's an argument to be made for that. (They even went as far as having overhead pantograph power for home run stretches meaning that the Diesel is almost never used.) + they have a crystal clear game plan to become carbon neutral. Hybrids and Hydrogen are both very tricky technologies fraught with opportunities to trick the system and get away with pollution as usual. It is much easier to justify a hybrid than it is to actually build a zero emission solution to a problem. Any company that does so, better make damn sure that they have a rock solid case for why they do it and they also should have a rock solid commitment to ultimately become zero emission in a short timeline. We cannot be developing new forms of polluting transportation, it is simply unacceptable.
A driver’s licence is enough for the EVTOL? Maybe in some countries but probably not in the USA. Are there any airbags or safety system other than autonomous landing and fault backup system?
Imagine the anxiety of watching that Machine auto unload, your 1,000,000 Dollar Drone and praying it doesnt dump it! I would almost want the option to do it myself! ALMOST! you could maybe sue if it is auto.😂
omg all these products or demos are damn futuristic, we are living in another revolutionary era❤

YES! That is a good price for that helicopter car!!
Yeah, if you actually think it will really sell at that price. I'm thinking it will end up being a lot more expensive, if it ever goes to production.

That’s what you call innovation. Hybrid car with chopper.
Thank you for your wonderful informative video, and great energy!
Now we know where these drones that are flying over the East Coast are coming from.
You would have to win the lottery to go buy one of those things because at 280 thousand dollars? That's a lot of money!

good translation for brazil
Kim, it would be good if you can use this to race against the new Aptera.
That was definitely the Truck Tesla *SHOULD* have built absolutely 😊😊
🎉❤ wow elon 👆 musk chose you check out the handle up claim TLGM
i expect a whole zero regulators will approve this.
I guess we need a dual license- piloting & driving license in the near future, which is wild.
This is AWESOME!! 💯 .... But, Please continue to cover more inventions AVAILABLE in the USA. ✌️
Why just USA? Cover them all. Don't just limit yourself to America alone.
@S1RLANC3 You are ABSOLUTELY, Correct !! 💯 Good catch 👌
What's the Mfg of that oscillating toothbrush and where is it sold?
Thanks for the new content! Will it fit and charge in a CT?
More to come!
Would it be too heavy for a parachute some planes have shoots. But they fly higher than 1000ft but that would still probably be high enough.
Good report, thanks. “…most unique…” Usage error.
Good coverage!!! ...wait isn't that what she said?!
I would be like a kid in a candy store at CES. Do you think the Xpeng drone will ever have a parachute? If so, sign me up! Thanks for showing us some cool stuff.
Imagine hiking grand canyon while dozens of copters fly above 😂😂😅
It might be a problem to keep the parachute from tangling in the rotors.
@jayhawk6767 - I think it can be figured out.
Oh! This answers the question about the drones over New York. It was just Kim.
If a company says something can go off road they should show videos of it driving on Moreton Island Australia
I'm more interested in the cybervan than the flying thing inside..
A fifteen-minute flight at what speed?
I cannot believe that Tesla, is gonna let X Peng get ahead of them on having a flying drone!🤷🏽♂️
That's a nice necklace. What does the "T" stand for?
Death trap!!!? So much stuff people will not buy.
Huh. Back in my corner of the country, huh?
Afeela the same for afeela.
Looks more like a drone than a copter, but wait till use regulations kick in and tighten to make it an expensive paperweight.
Yeah….but what about customer support.

Never ever take a ride in thoose im good🤧✌️
Flying Jugs!
Are we behind in tech ?
A driver’s licence is enough for the EVTOL? Maybe in some countries but probably not in the USA.
Are there any airbags or safety system other than autonomous landing and fault backup system?
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Air Conditioner is a BIG DEAL in China!😂 Even for an aircraft 1000 feet off the ground, that you probably dont want to be overheating in!😂😂😂
⚡️⚡️
🎉❤ WOW ELON 👆 MUSK have prize for you check out the handle up claim TLGM
What are youdoing at CES?
You are a Tesla girl.
Thanks for seeing other youtubers on the CES !

The real China car
👍🏻🙏🏻❤️
Microwave pizza!!! mmmmmmmmmmmmm......not
China is so far ahead
theres no such thing as a "flying car" thats a small aircraft
USA needs to step up their game. So sad. 😂😂😂
H-1B visas lol.
