The price of Tesla's flying car revealed – and that's not the only problem

Tesla has opened pre-orders for its flying Roadster, requiring deposits that can reach up to a quarter of a million dollars. The legal contract warns that delivery is not guaranteed and the final price may change. Meanwhile, footage from development labs reveals dangerous flight tests, which are not very encouraging. The article notes that behind the flashy launch lies a familiar marketing tactic by Elon Musk, who tends to present a spectacular futuristic vision in order to attract brilliant engineers and present Tesla as a cutting-edge technology company in the eyes of Wall Street. For ordinary consumers, collecting hundreds of thousands of shekels for a flying car that may never reach the road proves once again: in Tesla's world, hype and cash flow long before the wheels hit the asphalt.
