Tayyyyyck maaaaahrrrr monnayyyyyyy!

 

or maybe not.....

Errrm,  Nissan Leaf battery weighs 300kg+ and gives it150 miles of range, it has a single motor, the size is:

Capacity 40 kWh
External dimensions L x W x H 1547 x 1188 x 264

mm

This vehicle has 4 drive motors and 8 propellor motors but weighs maybe half of a leaf, so even if they tightly pack a smaller battery, where will it go?

Left and right of the vehicle are pretty much symmetric, how do they expect this to get any uplift when flying?

ANY small parking dent will be decremental to the structural integrity of the construction and thus prohibit flying.

 

This, dear friends, is Elon's ridiculous predictions squared!
