Elon Musk is hinting that Tesla will soon showcase a flying car — possibly "before the end of the year."
Why it matters: A flying car would combine two of Musk's long-running passions — flight and cars — and could remake the budding world of airborne electric vehicles.
Musk delivered the eye-popping teaser during an interview with Joe Rogan, who asked him about the status of the long-delayed Tesla Roadster sports car.
- "We're getting close to demonstrating the prototype," Musk said. "This product demo will be unforgettable."
Asked why, Musk said: "My friend Peter Thiel once reflected that the future was supposed to have flying cars. But we don't have flying cars."
- When Rogan pressed him to explain further, Musk responded: "I think if Peter wants a flying car, we should be able to buy one."
🥊 Reality check: Musk has a long track record of promising new products long before they become a reality.
