Is that a fact?

Sign me up! What could go wrong??!?
I’m very curious how this thing can fly 110 miles, considering that it has to keep it’s batteries suspended in the air with it, and the energy density (by weight) of batteries is on the order of 5% of gasoline.
Perhaps they have a way, but I cannot see it!
I’d like to see how the drivers of these “flying cars” plan to fly through Class B airspace over Los Angeles (and every other large city in the U.S.) I think AT Control may have a problem with this.
Wait until these things are sold in the ghetto.
Is that a fact?
I’m afraid The Hindenburg Model isn’t out yet.

Maybe this electric aircraft comes with a really long cord.
As long as they weigh (combined) not more than 180 pounds. Including clothes, purses, briefcases, etc.

Do some of those guys sound, dare I say it, Russian...?
Regenerative braking!
It will recharge as it’s falling out of the sky.
That’ll be great when you come to a toll booth. Just fly over it and wave to the attendants.
This is getting interesting...
Will they let anyone with a drivers license fly this?
When your battery dies, your aircraft could fall on someone’s house or a playground full of kids.
From what I have witnessed on the highways, this cannot be something anyone can buy and use. There are a lot of lunatics and careless drivers with drivers licenses.
What, no anti-gravity device, to offset the weight of the batteries?
Use the hydrogen to fill balloons, from which the whole vehicle is then suspended.
What could possibly go wrong?
When they crash there is going to be one heck of a lithium explosion.
This is not a new idea.

And if you can’t find a parking place, you can tie it to a lamp post and leave it running.
