Edit: another user in this comment section said "This is not a flying car. It's a falling car. It's good at falling though."
I think the downforce fans themselves are notable and pretty impressive however. It's like a McMurty
It would be interesting if they could add the RCS to the production model and have it solely as a "safety" feature if you fall off a cliff or need to break or something. I have a hard time imagining how you would integrate the flight control systems without designing the whole vehicle around it, so maybe it could have some "automatic landing" program.
Elon has been working on this for ~8 years
How long would it take another company to do the same?
Just the engineering alone is impressive regardless of beliefs but this posting has so many Eore replies that makes me wonder if I am one of the few not miserable people on the planet.
From one non-miserable person to another: the trick to a happy life is to not engage with people whose minds cannot be changed. Tesla haters and Apple haters are on that list, and you’re replying to someone who is both.

I'm only seeing one of us that's making inflexible assumptions here. Did you know that I used to be an Apple fan?
