Tesla CEO Elon Musk Hints at Flying Car Prototype in Joe Rogan Podcast Appearance
Tesla CEO Elon Musk teased the potential unveiling of a flying car prototype by 2025 during a conversation on Joe Rogan's podcast. The project appears linked to the long-delayed second-generation Tesla Roadster, originally slated for 2020 production.
Musk described the prototype as featuring "crazy technology" and promised an "unforgettable" reveal. The inspiration came from Peter Thiel's critique about technological stagnation in transportation. While technical details remain scarce, Musk suggested the vehicle might transcend traditional automotive classifications.
The announcement comes as Tesla continues missing deadlines for its next-gen Roadster, first showcased in 2017. Musk's comments reflect his pattern of ambitious technological promises that often face significant delays in execution.
