1
I'm sorry.
2
I don't know.
3
Well, it worked.
4
Flying cars are real.
5
Yeah, well, a friend of mine, Peter Thiel, Once said that the future promised us flying cars, but instead we got 140 characters.
6
Well, not anymore
7
That's not the last thing you'll see by the way
8
To do that we have a suction a fan suction system on the bottom of the car
9
that can pull up to two G's in order to make the car go upside down.
10
And then we borrowed some technology from SpaceX to do the rest.
11
Yeah, I mean, this car really sucks.
12
This car could suck the chrome off a trailer hitch.
13
It could suck a tennis ball through a hose pipe.
14
So, and it could stick upside down.
15
Now, you might say, like, how often do you want to stick upside down in a car?
16
Maybe not that often.
17
But it actually has an actual benefit on the track,
18
or just driving, where the downforce of the car means you can corner incredibly well.
19
Like you can corner like it looks like you're braking physics, because the car sticks to the ground so hard.
20
So acceleration, cornering, it's going to crush every track record that has ever existed.
21
so yeah i think uh the last time we put roadster uh with spacex we had starman in it
22
and uh maybe we should check did we do we put anyone in the car phones yeah
23
i think starman's gonna make an appearance.
24
I think he went for a little ride.
25
Any minute now.
26
Yeah. So, yeah.
27
Here he is.
28
No?
29
Come on.
30
Anticipation.
31
He's being coy.
32
Just to be clear, that is not a real human.
33
Yeah.
34
So the car has obviously attitude control thrusters and main thrusters in the rear.
35
So it can basically fly like a rocket.
36
And it can do rolls, it can do like crazy gymnastics.
37
Whatever you want really.
38
Now I should say that this is not necessarily a safety optimized car.
39
but it is it takes the fun meter to 11 out of 10
40
but speaking of fun meter you want to try one let's try something else I mean
41
that was just a little flight let's do a longer flight alright let's see what we got set up
42
Oh, my God.
43
I mean, I've seen a lot of things, but I've never seen that before.
44
Tony Hawk would be proud, we call that the kickflip.
45
Yeah.
46
I think we could have cleared more than our whole fleet.
47
Yeah, we can go further.
48
Like, this will be an actual car that's on the roads.
49
You know, I'm not sure it's necessarily legal in all jurisdictions, but like, there will be such a car that someone can own.
50
So it's going to be pretty wild that you can have a rocket car.
51
Yeah, to do that, we have the rockets we borrowed from SpaceX technology.
52
You talked about the carbon overlay pressure vessels.
53
I just want to tell everyone, because I'm a spec guy, there's two of them in the car.
54
They are a total of 600 liters.
55
It's about 250 kilos of air.
56
And we have 10 nozzles to do all that work.
57
and the it's it's using an advanced ultra high pressure air tank
58
so the car can recharge its air tank
59
so it's not like you you know you need special propellant
60
or anything like that it literally is just gonna puff itself up
61
and and and and be able to do this these maneuvers whenever you'd like well
62
but why don't we show them the car
63
so to bring it out
64
we since we knew the car was going to fly since we knew roadster was going to fly
65
we looked for some inspiration about flying
66
and we thought we would lean into the most badass stuff out there sr 71 cars that to transform,
67
and that led us to the new Roadster.
68
So I know you get an up -close look at the new Roadster.
69
Thank you, Andy and Lamar.
70
Those guys are kicking ass on our engineering team making this all happen.
71
We can see the car.
72
Very clean.
73
It's a nice, clean aesthetic.
74
Like I said, we leaned into a little bit of some of the aerospace aesthetics.
75
It's a two -seater.
76
I'll open it up.
77
As you can see, two guys got out of it.
78
We leaned into lightweight as well, so the seats are molded into the chassis.
79
It's a steer -by -wire system.
80
So we have a steer -by -wire yoke, steer -by -wire brake, steer -by -wire throttle.
81
And as we get to the rear of the car, this is where a lot of the action.
82
You can't see it, but online, in the diffuser area is where the thrusters are,
83
the fans are, and this is kind of the business end of the car.
84
But the car can transform because we wanted to make a pretty car, but also a car that could deliver amazing downforce.
85
So we'll turn the fans off for you.
86
Sorry, it's a little loud here.
87
But as Elon said, this car is meant to be the best driver's car.
88
And to do that, we wanted to break the laws of physics.
89
We put the fan sucker system on there to give us traction to be able to corner at greater than 2
90
Gs and accelerate with all the traction that goes beyond the tires, which is typically 1 .6 Gs.
91
You see here we have two modes we have a high downforce mode
92
and what the car is in now is a is a low drag mode
93
and the fan system also has two modes
94
it can suck the car down at low speed to give us traction
95
when we need it and at high speed we'll open up the front
96
and rear parts of the suction system to create even more flow underneath the car yeah
97
so if the the rear wing has a variable pitch so it can adjust the down force dynamically.
98
And we'll do it automatically based on what it calculates you need when you're going around the track.
99
But Elon, how fast did you want to go to zero to 60?
100
I can't remember.
101
Well, you've got to break one second.
102
Obviously.
103
I tested this the other day.
104
Can we put it up, guys?
105
Can we put the test up?
106
Like, this goes fast.
107
I don't know.
108
We want to
109
All right, one second, right?
110
You said one second
111
Well, I said less than one second
112
Oh, shit Hey, guys, we have a car out there, right?
113
Don't we have a car out there?
114
Can you put it on the max?
115
Let's try and be one second.
116
do we have a time what was the time guys
117
we didn't have a whole lot of room out on the pad
118
so we had to cut it short but do we have a live time i'm waiting for it
119
well
120
while we're getting the live time uh you know i will say
121
this elon mentioned the rocket thrusters you can see the the thrust is exiting the back of the four thrusters
122
faster than speed of sound
123
so you see the mock diamonds it it actually creates over 80 kilonewtons of thrust yeah i mean there's
124
that there are cars no and then there's one car that has mock diamonds I think we broke the system.
125
We didn't do it in .17 seconds.
126
Yeah, okay, that's, yeah, .1 seconds, I think we'd destroy the human if we did that.
127
Ah, there you go, there you go.
128
.81 seconds.
129
.81 seconds.
130
There you go.
131
Nice work.
132
We'll do, and we anticipate being able to do better than that.
133
I always like the Newton's formula F equals MA as A equals F over M.
134
So as you increase force and decrease mass, you get more acceleration.
135
So the production call will actually do better than that.
136
So we'll just ride the limit of don't detach the retina of the human in the car. So, yeah.
137
Well, it is the world's quickest car, production car of zero to 60.
138
It'll do a half a mile in the time that other cars can do a quarter mile.
139
And I think that's really what we wanted to say today.
140
What else we got, anything else?
141
No, I mean.
142
Tough speed, right?
143
Oh yeah, yeah, tough speed, of course, yeah, yeah.
144
Great street, evil.
145
Yeah, yeah, depends on your street, but it'll be a viable car.
146
And, yeah, so we're going to have actually a follow -on demo that's... Or two. Or two. Or four.
147
Multiples.
148
So, I don't know if this is possible or not, but some people may know about Evil Knievel's attempt to jump the Snake River Canyon.
149
Let's give it another shot.
150
And we thought this was crazy.
151
Man, that's going to look nuts.
152
We're going to have to go pretty fast to do that.
153
Like, really fast.
154
We're going to need a running start.
155
Yeah, we're going to run a start.
156
But yeah, the car can go over 230 miles per hour, hopefully we can get even faster definitely much faster than
157
that yeah how fast well I think you've got to go at least
158
you got to crack halfway to the speed of sound
159
I think okay yeah Mach 0 .5 maybe a little higher
160
all right challenge on challenge accepted sir yes where we're going you don't need tires
161
So today marks the day that we build the first world's best flying car and the last best driver's car.
162
When do you want to get it to customers?
163
We entered production in 2028, actually.
164
Actually, for real.
165
Anything left in your bag?
166
I think we might have one more little thing.
167
Should we do it?
168
Yeah, sure.
169
Okay, let's do the last thing. So I
170
don't know. So
FOR YOU

什麼是跟讀法?
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧,最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓,並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大:您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同,跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性,語調,節奏,連讀,聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
