In a jaw-dropping reveal that could mark the beginning of a new era in transportation, Tesla’s long-rumored flying car — priced at a shocking $6,789 — has officially entered production at the company’s Giga Texas factory. And yes, you read that price right.
Dubbed the Tesla Aero, the futuristic vehicle combines the speed and autonomy of a Tesla with the vertical lift capabilities of a drone — all wrapped in a sleek, compact design that looks straight out of a sci-fi film.
🛸 What’s Inside?
Early reports and leaked pH๏τos from inside the Gigafactory reveal that the Tesla Aero is built with:
- Quad Vertical Lift Propulsion (QLP) powered by high-density lithium-air batteries
- Autopilot 3.0+ AirNav System for vertical and horizontal route navigation
- Voice-activated flight ᴀssistant integrated with Elon Musk’s xAI
- Solar-Recharging Panels embedded into the roof
- A foldable design that allows it to operate on roads when not airborne
- 0–60 mph in 3.2 seconds, both on land and in the air
👀 First Look: A Flying iPhone?
Testers describe the interior as a blend between a Model S Plaid and the Tesla Pi Phone – with a holographic interface, no steering wheel, and gesture controls powered by AI. With seating for two, the Aero is built for short-distance commutes, offering a 120-mile air range and a 300-mile ground range.
🎯 Why $6,789?
Analysts believe the ultra-low pricing is a strategic disruption aimed directly at both the auto and aviation industries. With compeтιтors like Hyundai and Joby Aviation pricing similar models at over $200,000, Musk is clearly betting on mᴀss adoption.
📉 What Now for the Auto Industry?
The announcement has already sent Ford and Toyota stocks tumbling, and even Boeing is reportedly watching Tesla’s air mobility program with concern.
Elon Musk teased the launch on X earlier today with just one word: “Fly.”
If the Tesla Aero lives up to its promises, the world could soon see skyways as busy as highways.
The sky is no longer the limit. It’s the starting line.
