Elon Musk teased a Tesla flying car on Joe Rogan. While others have failed for decades, Musk’s ecosystem (Tesla batteries, SpaceX Starlink for ATC, Boring Co. Vertiports) might finally solve the infrastructure problems no one else could.
Elon Musk tells Joe Rogan that Tesla is close to demonstrating a flying car prototype, with an unveiling potentially happening within a couple of months.
Musk and Joe Rogan spoke for more than three hours and 15 minutes, with topics ranging from the Tesla CEO’s purchase of Twitter, his opinions on several notable high-profile names and even a pact with Rogan relating to aliens. However, the conversation about flying cars even left Rogan giving it his all to learn more.
Elon Musk says Tesla is “getting close” to unveiling a prototype with “crazy technology,” fueling speculation about a flying-capable Tesla Roadster.
When Rogan pressed for more insight into the new product, Musk referenced German American billionaire and entrepreneur, Peter Thiel once saying that “the future was supposed to have flying cars.” But, as Musk pointed out, “we don’t have flying cars.”
The Tesla CEO says his company is already buying all the chips it can from TSMC and Samsung, but his car and robotics efforts still need even more silicon.
Elon Musk said he expects Tesla to be able to put all the Cybercabs it builds on the road, and thanked Waymo for 'paving the path.'
