A California startup has sparked a playful rivalry with Tesla by unveiling a video of its experimental flying car gliding effortlessly above a parked Tesla Roadster, highlighting advancements in electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) technology. The demonstration underscores the growing competition in the emerging market for personal air mobility, where companies are racing to develop practical, autonomous aerial vehicles. While Tesla has yet to comment, the visual contrast between the two modes of transport—ground and air—serves as a bold statement of progress in aviation innovation. The move could signal a shift in how urban transportation is imagined, blending road and sky in a single vehicle.
California-based Alef Aeronautics mocked Tesla, releasing a video of its flying car soaring over a Tesla Roadster.
