Tesla CEO Elon Musk has once again sparked speculation about the company's ambitious plans for a flying car, leaving many questions unanswered. During an interview with Joe Rogan on his popular podcast, Musk dropped a bombshell that Tesla is on the cusp of unveiling a revolutionary vehicle that defies conventional definition. When asked about the long-delayed second-gen Tesla Roadster, Musk didn't provide a clear update on its status but instead shifted the focus to a new project.
The conversation took an unexpected turn when Rogan inquired about the possibility of acquiring a flying car, prompting Musk to say, "If Peter Thiel wants a flying car, we should be able to buy one." This cryptic comment left many scratching their heads, as Musk refused to provide concrete details about the vehicle or its capabilities.
While Musk has been touting his vision for flying cars since 2014, history suggests that he often overestimates timelines. The Tesla Roadster, which was initially set to begin production in 2020, is still waiting on the horizon. Even SpaceX's Falcon Heavy rocket, which was predicted to launch five years earlier than it did, provides a cautionary tale about Musk's penchant for ambitious yet elusive goals.
Despite the lack of concrete information, Musk did offer a tantalizing glimpse into the vehicle's technology, describing it as "crazy" and "unforgettable." While details remain scarce, one thing is clear: Tesla is pushing the boundaries of innovation, even if that means flying under the radar – for now.

meanwhile they're still working on the roadster which has been on hold since 2020 lol what's good with elon musk? is he just trolling us or does he really have something up his sleeve? 
i'm kinda curious to know more about this new project but also a bit skeptical given his track record 
like who needs roads when you can just soar through the air right? anyway i'm kinda worried it'll never come out or something but at the same time i wanna believe in elon musk and his crazy vision lol what do u guys think will happen with this new project tho?
the roadster's still stuck on 2020, remember? 
and now this flying car business? it sounds like just another marketing stunt to me 
. don't get me wrong, i love innovation & progress, but let's be real, we need practical stuff too 
.
. The way he builds up these crazy ideas and then kinda just drops them on people can be frustrating at times, but it's also super exciting to see where he takes us. Flying cars? It sounds like science fiction, but you know what? Sometimes the craziest ideas become reality 
. I'm all for pushing the boundaries of innovation and trying new things – even if some of these projects don't quite work out as planned 
. The thing is, with companies like Tesla at the helm, we can expect to see some wild ride ahead, and who knows? Maybe flying cars aren't so far-fetched after all 
.
! I mean, sure, he's been saying it since 2014, but like, come on, it's gonna happen NOW, right? 
! I'm literally counting down the days until we see this baby take flight 
! Let's get that man a Tesla ASAP and make it happen!!!
and flying cars?! yeah right 
️ i'm not holding my breath but at the same time i do love how musk is pushing boundaries and making us think outside the box 
. Can't say I blame him for wanting to push boundaries tho, it's all about innovation and stuff 
. I mean, who needs concrete timelines and details when you're changing the game, right? The guy's a visionary, and we should trust his instincts (even if they've been wrong before). Those "crazy" tech specs are what make innovation happen – not boring old meetings with engineers and scientists. Plus, Peter Thiel can just lead the charge on buying one himself 
. It's refreshing to see someone taking risks like this instead of playing it safe. We'll get our flying cars when we're good and ready, and until then... let's just enjoy the hype 
! He keeps teasing us about it and then BAM, he drops a bombshell like this... I mean, if Peter Thiel wants a flying car, WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO BUY ONE 
! But let's be real, we've been waiting for the Tesla Roadster 2.0 since forever 
. But, I guess you can't blame him for trying... it's just hard to keep up with his train of thought 
He always talks about his latest project, and then suddenly it's something new that we've never heard of before. It's like he's playing some kind of game with us.
. First it was the Roadster, then it was this flying car nonsense... when are we gonna see something actual happen? 
. I'm not surprised by this development, given his propensity for making bold claims and then underdelivering on timelines 
. The delayed second-gen Roadster is a case in point – it's anyone's guess when (or if) we'll ever see it hit the roads 
. This approach is characteristic of his "disruptor" mindset – thinking outside the box and pushing boundaries for innovation's sake 
, which has long been a part of Tesla's vision. While it's hard not to get excited about the prospect of vertical takeoff and landing technology (VTOL) 
, we need to temper our enthusiasm with a dose of skepticism
