Tesla CEO Elon Musk is once again fueling speculation about his company's long-planned flying car project after a recent conversation with Joe Rogan, where he hinted at an imminent unveiling.
During the interview, Rogan inquired about Tesla's second-generation Roadster, which has been stuck in development limbo for years, but instead of providing any concrete details about its status, Musk shifted gears to talk about his company's work on a flying car. The billionaire entrepreneur acknowledged that he wants to unveil a prototype before the end of this year, citing Peter Thiel's assertion from years ago that flying cars were supposed to be a reality by now.
However, when pressed for specifics, Musk seemed tight-lipped, stating only that the vehicle contains "crazy technology" without revealing any concrete details. He even went so far as to say that it doesn't necessarily resemble a car, but rather "it looks like a car." The lack of clear answers has left many fans and skeptics alike wondering if Tesla's flying car dreams are still on track.
Musk has been touting the idea of developing flying cars since 2014, but his company has yet to make significant progress. With a history of overly optimistic timelines and ambitious projects that have fizzled out or taken far longer than expected (as evidenced by the delayed production of the new Roadster), it's difficult to gauge whether Tesla's flying car will finally take off.
Regardless of Musk's intentions, the prospect of a flying car prototype being unveiled as early as this year has generated significant excitement and anticipation among fans. Whether it's just another PR stunt or an actual step towards making flying cars a reality remains to be seen.
