OK. Yes, then I want to get this shock :)
Comment on The World's First Mass-Produced Flying Car Is Here and It Costs $1 Million
tonyn@lemmy.ml 3 weeks agoA 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.

I’m still of an opinion that private aircraft is for sports and for farmers and for doctors\firefighters\rescuers in remote areas like rural Siberia. And, of course, for people wiping their ass with money.
It’s unfortunately not the same as having a spaceship in some sci-fi universe. The word “ship” hints why, the legal infrastructure, the expenses and most of all required qualifications make flying a plane more demanding.
I don’t see how making a weird car-like plane changes that.

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
