That demo was so ridiculously over the top.... and I love it.

SpaceX has recovered a booster 665 time out of 678 attempts, one booster has flown 37 times, all of which still looks like SciFi to me.

Means that ridiculously over engineered car is going to have some application I can't imagine.

"Ridiculously over-engineered" should be the tagline on Elon's business cards.

I was thinking about accident avoidance. Sensor detect an imminent collision and the car boost out of the way.

Skipping over traffic would be cool... SEE YA SUCKERS! *WHOOSH*

I want one that helps me find replicants that need to be “retired”.

If I could ever afford that car, and if I could ever get my son to sit in the passenger seat, he would probably never want to leave it and he would want me to fly that car all. the. time.
