The hosts debate the validity of Elon Musk's recent Tesla Roadster unveiling, which featured a vehicle performing a "kickflip" maneuver. Dana Brunetti expresses skepticism regarding the physics of the demonstration, while Adam Curry defends the innovation as a symbol of American exceptionalism. They compare the Roadster's capabilities to the Alef Aeronautics flying car and other hybrid electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) prototypes.

Elon Musk unveiled a prototype of the new Tesla Roadster, which features high-pressure air thrusters developed by SpaceX. During a demonstration in Texas, the vehicle performed a "hop" over other cars, though experts noted it lacked the aerodynamics for sustained flight. While the car is slated for 2028 production, critics in Canada and elsewhere argue that the market needs affordable electric vehicles rather than expensive "stunt" cars.
