They only need to dupe very few to rake in lots more cash for elon. Can you imagine the huge amounts of energy required to flip, flop and fly that car? You'd probably get about minutes per charge or per tank.

Probably not even that. I have a miny whoop, it's battery is 1/3 it's volume I'm sure much more it's weight. It only flys for 3 minutes. I can't image a Tesla would stay in the air for over a minute.

TSLA got a bump in price during the presentation but it closed the day even lower than it opened. :)

The presentation was in the evening, even after regular after-hours trading. (Livestream was scheduled at 8:55 p.m. Eastern Time.)

But you're not too far off, the first prices recorded in pre-market trading the next morning reflected a bump, and then that day closed lower than the previous day.

Thanks! I was looking for the graph but was too ignorant of the whole thing to post my own source. Just saw the times and graph on Bluesky yesterday.
