  A million doesn’t get you what it used to, and you’d be shocked at how many quiet millionaires there are out there.

    There might be a lot more millionaires than before, but it’d still be a much smaller number who could drop $1M on a flying car.

      It’s cheaper than a private jet and there are LOADS of them buzzing around polluting the skies.

        Way more expensive than most private aircraft, though.

        That may be true, but private jets are significantly more practical than this. If you’ve got private jet money, you can just afford to buy a jet and a decent car at your destination.

        it has the range of a cessna skyhawk ($400k-$500 aircraft), not a private jet

  A million and get a pilot licence.

    I mean you can get a licence for 20-30k, the maintenance is deadly on a plane though, you could buy a very nice car each year on that money.
