Yes, ladies and gentlemen, you've seen it or are seeing it for the first time, but yes, it's true. This is a Tesla Roadster that flies using compressed air, liquid air. I think they said about 600 liters. He can lift himself into the air. He does a kickflip. Did you know this? Kickflip over Cybertruck, Cybersemi, other Tesla cars, and then a safe landing.
Not only did he pull off this stunt, he also sucked himself vertically and upward with a jerk before flipping over and landing. This is one of the most shocking, crazy, and incredible things I have ever seen, and I have to have it . I must have it . I must have it. Well , we don't know the prices yet .
There is currently a $5,000 deposit for the Performance and Thrust models, but within 10 days the Performance requires another $45,000 on top. And Thrust requires $250,000 on top, which creates a bit of a dilemma for me. I don't know how much this thing costs. So I tweeted, "What's the approximate price range for this?" And of course you get comments from the poor.
I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. But someone commented, "If you have to ask, then you can't afford it." And that's probably the stupidest thing in the world. Sorry. Sorry. I take this as a personal insult . Because the idea is that while I'm trying to be responsible and manage my money properly, I can't afford it?
No, dude. What offends me here is that I'm obviously not going to go around, you know, Dave Chappelle has a great quote where he says they went on TV and said he was getting $50 million and it made him look like a branded pig. He is on the train. He's going to relax with his friends, and they're like, "That guy has 50 million." Yes?
You do n't want that. But this idea that there are people who think that if you're rich, you snap your fingers and shell out $255,000 without knowing the cost and value of the car is the craziest thing imaginable. Rich people don't walk around and say, "You know, I bought a million dollar car, and it's actually only worth 10,000." They are not rich for doing such things.
They are rich because they don't do such things. But let's talk about the Roadster. It accelerated from 0 to 60 in 0.8 seconds. I want to take a look at this car, it's a real revolution. There is an interesting debate going on right now : since the Tesla Roadster can fly, it is technically an aircraft.
Yes, the FAA has a relevant rule, and that's what's being discussed now. It may not be true, but they say that under FAA regulations, any vehicle capable of flying must be registered and insured, which means the Roadster can fly. He really can. Let's show these videos. Many of you have probably already seen them.
We'll show them again, and then I'll comment . This, this is all about money, baby. This segment is all about money and technology. I thought it was AI, bro. No kidding. I am in shock. I can't ...I thought it was fake . I'm like: Are they kidding? Is this some kind of layout? No. This thing can fly.
It seems to have 600 liters of compressed gas, liquid air, which allows it to generate thrust from 10 jet nozzles. It has a 2G grip force, so it can hold onto walls and even upside down. The reason they did this, why it can suck up, is to make sharp turns. So if you're driving this car and you want to go around a sharp corner at 200 miles per hour, it presses against the ground so it doesn't get thrown out and it doesn't roll over.
And most importantly, I want to say something. I have a Model S Plaid. This is incredible. I love warp speed. There's nothing better than putting someone in a Tesla for the first time, who's never driven one, putting the pedal to the floor, feeling that push back—it's like warp speed. And now the truth.
The Tesla Model S Plaid could go faster. With the instant torque of electric cars, the problem is that you will tip over. It doesn't generate enough downforce, so during sharp acceleration the car flies into the air and flips over. We see this with the example of boats. So they asked, "What's the best thing we can do ?" 0 to 60 in 1.99 seconds.
The Roadster has a ground suction system. It literally sticks to the road. Thanks to this, it can accelerate much faster without flying into the air or flipping over. Yo, watch and cry. Kickflip. Oh my God. This is so crazy. This is truly madness. Dude, I'm just...I'm...I'm ...I'm...everyone's just having a brain explosion.
Eh, this is probably where it sticks to the wall. I think so. Damn, I wish I had gone to that. Roadster. I'm thinking about getting one, but we'll talk about that. We need to talk about this . Compression force. Look at this. This is the current clamping force. Oho. She's on the bottom left, you can see.
I want...I won't exaggerate. Three to four thousand kg of downforce. It sticks to this ramp. This is madness. I wonder if there's anyone inside . This is scary. One failure and you know...it generates 4700 kg of downforce. So , they're directly saying that this is SpaceX technology implemented in a car.
Many believe that X, SpaceX, and Tesla will one day merge. Guys, how can you not watch this? This is madness. Complete confidence. The risk...The risk there is absolutely insane. Which one of us...Which one...Which one of them... But Elon, how fast did you want to go to 60 mph? I don't remember. Well, we need to get out of 1 second.
Of course. I tested this the other day. Can we show you guys? Can we display the test on the screen ? This...this is very fast. My God, it has engines. We wanted to...Wow. Okay, 1 second. Yes, you said 1 second. Well, I said less than 1 second. Oh [ __ ]. Hey guys, we have a car over there. Yes, do n't we have a car there?
Let's just move forward. And he did it in 0.8 seconds. Time, guys? We didn't have much space on the site so we had to cut back, but do we have real time? 0.81. I'm waiting for this. Well, while we wait for the time, I will say this. Elon mentioned rocket engines. You see the thrust coming out of the four nozzles faster than the speed of sound, so you see the impact diamonds.
It creates over 80 kilonewtons of thrust. Yeah, I mean, there are just cars, and there's a car with impact diamonds. It seems we've broken the system. We didn't do it in 0.17 seconds. Yeah, okay, this... yeah, this 0.1 second... I think we would destroy a person if we did that. That's all. That's all.
0.81 seconds. 0.81 seconds. You've seen it, we've already seen this clip. The ultimate driver's car. Accelerators. Okay, okay, we got it. We like it. We understand. Flying cars. Flying cars, and I want one . I want one like this. Here is the Tesla Roadster website. So, if we go to booking now, let's take a look.
Let's take a look. And I'll be honest with you guys, I won't be booking it. I want to, but I'm going to lay it all out and explain why. We had a rough idea of the Cybertruck. I booked a Cybertruck. I got a Cybertruck. I have a Founder Foundation series Cybertruck . I apologize. I have a Tesla Model S Plaid, bought it when it came out.
Oh, no, that's unfair. This is unfair. I didn't buy it when it came out. I bought it new a couple of years ago. It seems so. I don't remember what year it was, but I got a new one. It costs 150 thousand. I also have a Model 3. I love my Teslas. And I definitely want to get a Roadster. And I'll probably get a Roadster.
I think there's a good chance I'll get it. Features now : two seats, aerodynamics and multi-mode intake systems . Very cool. 5,000 down payment, 45,000 must be paid within 10 days. This is actually funding for Tesla to build these things. This is brilliant. This is very cool. I like this system. I have no complaints.
Accelerator. 5,000 contribution. Oh, okay, it's not 250, it's 245. Because earlier I said 255. 245,000 needs to be deposited within 10 days. Due to limited availability, the accelerator version is limited to one order per customer. We reserve the right to cancel duplicate orders, multiple purchases from the same account or phone number, and orders with the same payment information or address.
Availability depends on legal requirements and applicable laws in each region. So , they say 2028. That means it will take about a year and a half to get it, and you need to deposit a quarter of a million dollars now. OK. Now I'll tell you why I'm not going to do that. And I'll show you this tweet. I said, "I would like to reserve a Roadster without knowing if the reservation cost is full price." This complicates the situation.
Is there an estimated total cost for the Performance and Thrust versions? To which Trailblazer replied: "If you have to ask, then you can't afford it ." And that is not true at all. This is very, very wrong. Listen, guys. I would buy a rocket if I were invited to buy one. I need to know the price for a million reasons, you know?
Let me put it this way. There are a few things to consider. By the way, a beautiful car. I...I'll probably get one . We'll see. We'll see. When I bought the Model S Plaid, for those who don't know, it was, for a time, the most expensive car they had. It costs 150, 160 thousand. It seems to have three electric motors.
Surprisingly. Extremely fast. Incredibly comfortable. Mine is still in perfect condition. I adore him. This is my favorite car . And when I bought it, I thought about a few things. I'm not one of those who likes infinity pools. I'm not the type of person who would build or buy a penthouse. But I am a person with a lot of money.
I have a lot of money. I've been running this business for almost 10 years now and have made a ton of money from it. I think you guys understand...I do n't even know. I don't mind being frank. I sometimes don't like to talk about some of these things, but this company has generated, I guess, I don't know, over the last 6 years.
Probably somewhere over $100 million. I have no idea. Andrew Tate has a great quote . He said, "If you know how much money you have, you are poor." I'm not talking about Andrew Tate, I'm not defending him in anything else. I don't know, you know, it doesn't matter. I don't particularly follow him. But he said it, and it's true.
If you want to understand whether you are rich or poor, ask yourself the question: "How much money do I have?" And if you know the answer, you are poor, because rich people don't know how much money they have . And that's right. What can I say, it's a terrible, simply terrible mentality . And I think it's because of this mentality that a lot of people stay in the middle class or poor, and they don't overcome that barrier to get to the highest level.
I make money and I am rich because I am aware of what I spend and where I spend it. I know how much I can allocate in one direction or another. So I'll throw something else at you, I'll throw another thought at you. When I mention that I play low-stakes poker, people say, "You're a gambling addict." Let me say this.
If you were playing poker on the weekend with a buy-in of one penny, would you consider it a problem if you were playing twice a week for a penny at a time? In fairness, and again I'm not saying this to be a scumbag, I'm not trying to be offensive, boastful, or immodest. I'm just trying to help you understand the math and the finances, what it means and why I'm not going to book it.
I reserved a Cybertruck, but that was a whole different story. I think the cost was around 10 thousand, I'm not sure. So, let me put it this way. When I go to play low-stakes poker—and I know this sounds shocking to a lot of people— but I think you understand that there are rich people in the world.
The $400 buy-in for my game is just a glitch in my weekly paycheck. I don't even notice it. Again, I apologize if this sounds immodest, but it's important to understand because I'm going to lay out for you the problems I see in booking a car at this price without knowing anything about it . It has nothing to do with whether you can afford it, it's about proper planning and allocation of funds and what makes sense.
So when I go play poker, whether I play or not, it doesn't affect my bank account. It doesn't affect whether I buy the products. I literally don't even notice that I played, won or lost. So I usually play, put in four hundred, and walk away with maybe 600-800, and it all means nothing. For me, it's the same as zero.
Again, I'm not trying to be immodest, okay? I'm just letting you know. So when someone says, "If you have to ask, then you can't afford it ." This is not how having money and earning it works. I think a lot of our problems in the country are that there are billionaires and millionaires, and ordinary people have no understanding of the laws, wealth, and how it works.
And I think that people who think like that may make money for a while, but they lose it very, very quickly. That's why they, you know, people who win the lottery lose their money so quickly. They create, they build themselves golden statues. So let me put it this way. There are two things to consider.
As for the Model S Plaid, it was amazing. It cost 150 thousand. Soon after, Elon Musk announced that they were cutting the prices of all Teslas in half, reducing my stake in that car by $100,000. Yes, I was a little put off by it, but I liked the idea of Tesla becoming more mainstream, so I understand why they did it.
And, honestly, losing $100,000 didn't change my financial situation. But it's quite unpleasant to buy a luxury car for 160 thousand, and then find out that it will soon be impossible to resell it. When I bought it, I literally said, “You can’t just keep money in cash. It's a terrible, simply terrible idea to keep your money in cash.
You have to invest them somewhere. A car is not the best place to invest because it loses value. She is wearing out ." However, you buy it for 160, and it retains about 100,000 of its value . So, if I'm going to buy a car for 60,000, which will drop to 20 used, it's better to take it for 160 and stay with 100, and I enjoy owning it, so that's a definite advantage, you know.
It's a good car, it's a fun car. There is also marketing value in owning such a machine, because you want to demonstrate success in various ways when you do sales presentations , sponsorships, and things of that nature. That's why I find the Roadster particularly valuable. Owning a Roadster says, “I am successful.
I can afford it." And it's true, there are a lot of people who look at it like this and say, " If only you could afford it." Blah-blah- blah. That's the problem. OK. $45,000 right away, $ 50,000. Guys, honestly, it wouldn't affect me at all if I did that. I have to be completely frank. If I had invested 250k in Thrust, honestly, I wouldn't even notice.
I'm not kidding when I say I don't even know how much money I have. I have so many of them. I understand that this sounds immodest or something , but what I'm saying is: manage your money responsibly. That's my opinion. Um, $250,000 right now could cover the salaries of three or four people who work at my company.
I can take this money and invest it, say, in high-yield ETFs. Friends, I can open a coffee shop with this money. So the question is, if I give $250,000 and the car is worth $2 million, I'm going to say, "I don't think this car is really worth $2 million." Is that true? It's not that I can't afford it, it's that I'd rather open 10 coffee shops than buy one car.
And I don't know how much the value of this car will remain, and I don't know how much of a markup there is for hype. Now, if you say, "Well, they're targeting people like Dana White who don't care because they have billions of dollars." Of course, there are several thousand such people . Maybe they… maybe that's the target market.
That makes sense. I guess… let me explain it this way. This is not about me. There is a famous story, perhaps even fictional, that Bill Gates went to a casino, bet $20 on blackjack, lost, and said, "Okay, I'm done." And stopped playing. Bill Gates, the dude has a lot of money. What? Wouldn't he play blackjack?
He's not that type of person. I'm not interested in having a car just for the sake of having one . The question is, what does this car mean to me? That's the thing. If the argument is: "Well, if you had a spare hundred million in cash and needed to spend it somewhere , you would buy it anyway." "No, I wouldn't buy it." That's the problem.
What is this car worth to me ? So I'll say this. I spent a few million dollars building my own skate park. For me, this has value. But owning this car is not. I have my own idea of how much I'm willing to spend on this car, regardless of how much money I have . So when the question came up about three million dollars to build a huge facility, a studio, and a skate park , I said, "No questions asked." Literally, I don't care.
I want this. So I said, " Do it." And we built it. As for the car, I like my Model S Plaid. I don't need a Roadster. I guess I don't want it so badly that I'd spend endless money on a car. If they came out and said, " The down payment is $45,000, and the car costs $250,000." Then I could say, “Yes. But at the same time, I will say this .
There are things I want more than this. And there are things I value more than that. And if you're the kind of person who says, " I have to have this," listen, the Cybertruck cost a hundred-something thousand dollars. I snapped my fingers and bought one. I adore him. I don't know what the value of this vehicle is .
I don't want to deposit 50 thousand. It says so, but I don't know if the 50 thousand is fully refundable. But if they say it costs 500,000, I'll say that I really don't care and I do n't want to invest 500,000 in a car. I'll be honest, I'd rather bet 100k in a high stakes poker game. At least it's much more exciting.
For me, it's a question of value. It's a question of value to you. So normally I don't like to talk about all this money and stuff , but I think it's appropriate now. I want to say, guys: not a day goes by that I don't meet someone who doesn't understand the laws and the problems associated with wealth, which is why people become communists and socialists because they just don't understand how the rules work.
And I even hear it among conservative people. Oh, you have money , you can afford it. Guys, it does n't work like that. I will say a few things. If a car costs a quarter of a million dollars, like that performance model, then I'm like, " Hey, well, maybe I could splurge and buy it, right?" But I have much more than that.
And I think about what would happen if I gave a person $100,000? What could they do with that money? What would I do better? Did he go to the casino and burn three thousand, losing on a slot machine, or did he literally give it to a person and say, "I don't know, draw me a picture." Because at least the painting has value for humanity, right?
That's the point. If I buy a car for a quarter of a million dollars, it's a different matter, because the base model costs 150. I think: uh, you know, I want something nice. 250 for a car? And I'm like: I'd probably rather give five people $50,000, make a video about it, and see their smiles. I have to be completely frank.
I have a limit. That's all. For Bill Gates, the limit in blackjack was 20 bucks. It did n't bother him at all . He didn't want to do it. He could play for 27 years and never go bankrupt. He just didn't want to do it. It didn't make sense. He would probably be better off giving that 20 bucks to someone for a nice dinner.
That's the point. I don't want to put down 50 thousand for a car and then find out it's worth a quarter of a million, because, honestly, I'd rather give that money away. I already have a car. I don't need this car to get from point A to point B. I just wish I had it. She is very, very beautiful. I think if it cost between 100 and 150, I would buy it, but it will cost more.
And to be completely honest, I'll buy it used. That's all. So, you know, they say that the Foundation series costs 250, and the version without Foundation costs 200. Well, okay, maybe I'll think about that option. But I will emphasize it again. Guys, you know what I would have done better? I, as I said, spent millions building my own skate park, I love it, but we're moving out of it, and I do n't even know.
When you're rich, you can do different things. I would rather use $250,000 to make a video of me giving a waitress $50,000. I think more people would watch it. I think it's more beneficial for society. Maybe 50 thousand is too much, but you know what I would do? I would just give away bundles of 10 thousand dollars.
I would take some cash, make a video and say, "Here's a pack for you." Congratulations. "You work as a waiter, right?" Many people do this. You can earn more from this. You are creating something valuable. So, anyway , I digress . I'll just say, " Pioneer," if you have to ask the price—you can't afford it.
This is simply absurd . If I put down a deposit on this car and it turned out to be worth $500,000, I would have to go to the accountants and say, "Hey, we thought it was worth $200, and it's worth $500." So we will have to find money. Because I have so many bills. I have so much stuff, and they'll say, "Okay, we'll transfer this money from here." "We'll tell them from here.
" And, you know, you have to balance it. It's not just...you know, someone like Bezos saying, "Give me a rocket." Do you understand what I mean? Someone like Elon would say, "Give me a rocket." But understand this. There are 23 of them...how many are there? 23 million millionaires , it seems, in the United States.
Something like that. Crazy number. They earn $160,000 a year. They don't buy such a car or take out a loan for it, which is stupid. Let me explain. Financing? With a click of your fingers. I could buy a rocket right away if invited. But you can take out a loan. At a price of $250,000, you will spend about $2,500 per month on loan repayments.
This is nothing. Yes, that's easy, right? No, I would buy it right away for cash. I just want to know how much it costs. So, you know, I don't know. Although it is interesting. Thrust for 200...is this really going to be a million dollar car? It makes sense because we're talking, you know, Ferrari level.
I'll say it again for the last time. An amazing car, a legend and an epic. I'll buy it used for half price. I would rather... honestly, guys, I would rather buy 5,000 rabbits, release them in my yard, and then just stand there and giggle. It's just...sorry. This is what I appreciate. I will end with this.
I will round up. I'm just talking about having money. I know, I know. But there will be a lot more interesting things during the day . Like , share the show, stay with me, friends. This is amazing stuff, and I'll see you all in the next segment.
