Tanks are probably carbon fiber, and the other parts are likely super light too.

They did likely add a special secondary tank and gut most of the rest of the cars that 'flew'.... I did read somewhere that they only had 1 seat.

so they say that the planned model you could theoretically buy “by invite only” with all the flying features would be a one seater. The model that did the demo was probably much much lighter than you could make a salable car. I do not think that it will be possible to kickflip a car that is gonna weigh around 3500 lbs. my guess is that enough battery and copv tank to perform the demos was probably less than 1000 lbs of car.
