The video is incredibly tone deaf- Is this really just a product for millionaires with overcrowded lakefront properties who want to get sued by their neighbors for noise pollution?<p>Also, can this thing actually fly, or is it just a ground effect vehicle (i.e. a hovercraft) that can float 3 feet higher than usual for 10x the cost and 10x the fuel consumption?
It's weird cause this is quite a cool product (toy) but I hate that it is being referred to as a 'flying car'. Can it just be marketed as a hovercraft or something? It's like that '3D Laser Printer' from Glowforge, which in reality is just a regular laser cutter/engraver but they are were trying to ride the hype of the 3D printing trend
YouTube mirror of the video since you can't skip the corndog intro on their site.<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMWh4W1C2PM" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMWh4W1C2PM</a>
From the FAQ:<p>> How much will the vehicle cost? We will disclose the price when we launch the product later this year.<p>What does HN think the price will be? If the $100 membership comes with a $2000 discount...say arnd 10%? So looking arnd $20-30k?
