Average car is almost half of this. Seems quite cheap if you can actually make it work for you, not just a toy.

[–] ashleyn 2y ago ↗ FYI I can't find a video of it hovering more than about twelve feet off the ground. Seems it's got a long way to go. [–] SushiHippie 2y ago ↗ Mhm, I don't really understand their target audience, because looking at their videos a fast dune buggy looks like a lot more fun.The Top Comment on their launch video [0] summarizes it well IMO:"I can’t wait to sell my house so I can afford this. I have always wanted to go very slow very close to the ground for a very short distance."[0] https://youtube.com/watch?v=FzhREYOK0oo

[–] plasticsoprano 2y ago ↗ Well considering the "Safety is our priority" section says it can fly with the loss of one motor I'd assume 2 motors lost is a life changing event. [–] acadavid79 2y ago ↗ They say it also has a ballistic parachute. [–] plasticsoprano 2y ago ↗ Which isn't going to do you a lot of good 20-30, even 100 feet off the ground.

[–] chaostheory 2y ago ↗ The blades being out in the open concerns me, but I get it. Cutting costs wherever possible is needed for a v1 startup product. [–] xnx 2y ago ↗ Probably more about cutting weight than cutting cost. Airplane props and helicopter blades are also out in the open.
