Tesla faking it at its best !

It would be an extremely cool demo if this thing was even remotely close to a car that can be produced and sold. Alas, this was something that could be used in a circus at best (where people would need to be very very far since it's very dangerous).

Every car manufacturer creates concepts that they never plan on shipping. The goal is to attract engineering talent and do deep research. I’m curious at what price they’d need to sell it to break even…? Probably upwards of $50-100M

Yep, but other manufacturers don't pretend it's a real car that will start shipping soon !

A circus showing these would never recoup the cost of even one being built, hah. But it is very cool. It's also neat to see the Brabham BT46 make a return after like 50 years.

And I don't go to the circus to see expensive engineering. I go to the circus to see individuals doing amazing stuff.

I thought it was the animal abuse that was the main attraction? /s

Haven't been to the circus in a while, have you?
