Pastor you're being too harsh on Elon.  The chap cracked the battery powered car after many failed to do it.  His massive battery in Australia worked as planned a few weeks ago.

In my view he's already an over achiever here on earth....

No sir,
Tesla has nothing on the next EC or autonomous vehicles whether they be from Alphabet,BMW or GM.

Elon Musk mark, if at all, will be in Space


He was still first on the market... that counts for something..

This looks like the latest incarnation of the Aerocar.  It's a bad idea.

bitmask & Pastor vooke - boats have been sailing and flying for ages - time we had a ubiquitous pod - for fly, sail, drive, dock in space, etc.

The showstopper for me is the idea of taking it to a runway before it can fly.  I mean, even a helicoper fitted with a juakali four stroke engine seems a better deal  :D.  You can at least park it in a helipad in the back yard.
