I don't get the point of this comic tbh. I'm no Tesla apologist, but it's compressed air. Besides we all know this is in no way really going to be widely available.
I'm also pretty sure the demo car doesn't have a heavy battery with the full range. Probably stripped down to the absolute minimum weight to pull off these stunts
You can see the underside of the vehicle during the demo. It's hollow with a metal lattice.
To be fair that's probably by design. The demo roadster uses McMurty fan style or "active downforce". How it works is that it sucks the air out from under the car creating a low pressure chamber under the car which makes the outside pressure force the car closer to the ground creating a lot of downforce and traction.
The fan design also made an appearance in F1 where it won a race and got instantly banned.
🤣
This is the E3 demo of car demos 😂
All of the energy used to create a stupid car kickflip is for something completely useless and waste of resources that are most likely polluting. That is being contrasted with the attached cap that is forced on people to reduce pollution while the rich fucks do whatever they want.
