    60k? Kinda feels like a steal, a truck costs more than that.

      Given the word “prototype” it probably doesn’t have any sort of flight certification or approval. So it’s basically a futuristic garden ornament.

      I’m assuming it’ll be hard to find a place that’ll let you use it. Also, I’m assuming the offset is the spike in your health/life insurance.

      Well it’s 60k California Dollars, which, based on how many dollars tech bros seem to need to live in a city, might be worth half as much as a regular dollar

    I don’t understand why people find someone asking “is this still available?” hilarious.

      If you’re talking about its use in this image rather than a wider trend I’m not aware of, the “Is this still available? 😊” is the default text in that field. The OP didn’t add that in

        Ahhh, that explains so much, like why I was seeing it everywhere. I thought that was the part people thought was funny. I’ve never used it, so I didn’t know how it works. Thanks!

    There are new FAA rules about eVTOLs: https://www.aerospacetestinginternational.com/features/how-new-faa-rules-are-opening-the-skies-to-personal-evtols.html

    My guess is this model doesn’t quite fit the rules.

      This is in Canada so we’d have to look at those rules.

      My guess is that the country that this is in doesn’t follow the FAA.
