Elon Musk Fires Up Hype Around Flying Cars After Appearing on Joe Rogan's Show
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has once again reignited speculation about his company's flying car project, stating that he aims to unveil a prototype "before the end of the year." During an appearance on comedian and podcast host Joe Rogan's show, Musk fielded questions about Tesla's long-stalled second-gen Roadster and unexpectedly shifted gears to talk about the flying car.
While Musk did not provide any concrete details or timelines for the project, he hinted that it is making significant progress. The CEO even referenced a conversation with fellow investor Peter Thiel, who reportedly expressed his desire for a flying car. Musk quipped that if people want flying cars, "we should be able to buy one."
Musk's comments on the show were characteristically vague, but he did reveal that the flying car prototype contains "crazy, crazy technology." However, when pressed about specific features like retractable wings or VTOL capabilities, Musk remained tight-lipped.
Despite his history of overpromising and underdelivering on ambitious projects, including the delayed production of the Tesla Roadster and SpaceX's Falcon Heavy rocket, some observers remain cautiously optimistic about Tesla's flying car prospects. Whether the company can deliver a viable product that meets the hype remains to be seen.

. I mean, who wouldn't want to soar through the air like Iron Man? It's crazy Elon's still pushing forward with this, even though it's been years since we last heard anything about it. But, you know, can't say I blame him - it'd be sick to have that kind of tech on our roads 
. I'm just curious if they'll actually make it happen before the end of the year or if it's gonna be another Tesla delay 
.
I mean, who needs roads and infrastructure when you can just strap yourself into a metal bird and soar through the skies? 
Elon's got his fingers crossed and a PR machine that's working overtime to keep the hype train rolling. Peter Thiel wants one too, cool dude 
... not sure what he's paying for though, a stress test or a therapy session 
. Can't wait to shell out thousands for a toy that might still be in prototype land 
.
. I get that Elon Musk is hyping this project for attention and publicity, but what are we actually solving with a flying car that a normal car can't do? 
i remember when the roadster was supposed to be released like 5 yrs ago and now its still delayed 
anyway back to the flying car 
i think its cool that peter thiel is on board tho maybe its gonna happen 
I mean, who wouldn't want to soar through the skies like Iron Man? 
But seriously, it's gonna be interesting to see if Tesla can actually make it happen this time around. Elon's been saying some wild stuff before, but maybe this one's for real 
. Can you imagine being able to buy a flying car and just cruising around without traffic jams? 
. Let's just hope he delivers on this one... or at least gives us something crazy cool to look forward to 
.
. We'll just have to wait 'n' see if he can actually pull it off 
. but ugh, no timelines or details just makes me skeptical lol...can we get a release date or something? 
! I mean, who wouldn't want to soar through the skies in a sleek, high-tech vehicle? The whole thing feels like a wild ride (pun intended) and I love how Tesla is pushing the boundaries of what we thought was possible. Of course, it's easy to get caught up in all the hype and worry about whether they'll actually deliver on their promises. But at this point, I'm all for innovation and progress – even if that means some bumps along the way
