      A million doesn’t get you what it used to, and you’d be shocked at how many quiet millionaires there are out there.

        There might be a lot more millionaires than before, but it’d still be a much smaller number who could drop $1M on a flying car.

          It’s cheaper than a private jet and there are LOADS of them buzzing around polluting the skies.

            That may be true, but private jets are significantly more practical than this. If you’ve got private jet money, you can just afford to buy a jet and a decent car at your destination.

            With the range of a cessna skyhawk ($400k-$500k aircraft), no way it’ll replace a private jet.

      an assembly line that can make 2 per year still qualifies as mass production. At the level of people who can afford a million you can’t sell more than a couple per year anyway. There are a few car companies that have production numbers in that range.
