I’m sure there are other forms of "air travel" that depend heavily on mechanical components functioning reliably?

sure but those use purpose built devices that are designed for a different purpose - they are not just cars that manufacturers will bolt on parts onto to try and make it effectively kill you

Tesla Flying Car: 5 Facts Confirmed, 3 Still Unproven

Tesla unveiled a flying Roadster on Oct. 15, 2026. Here is what is confirmed, what is hype, and why the FAA has not signed off on this tesla flying car.

tech-insider.org

The "Flight": The car did not truly fly like an airplane or drone. Instead, it used SpaceX cold-gas thrusters and high-pressure air tanks to perform short hops, mid-air flips, and a stunt driving upside down on a ramp.

Driverless: The vehicle had no human driver during the demo

 

[satanboy]

Stunt Car Engineering: Observers noted that the demo vehicle appeared heavily lightened or built as a specialized show mockup using compressed gas rather than a heavy, working production car, detailed further in analysis like the breakdown on Popular AI. https://www.popularai.org/p/tesla-roadster-flying-video-ai
