In early November 2026, Elon Musk presented a functional prototype of a levitating electric vehicle, marking Tesla's foray into urban air mobility. The announcement reignited debates on the viability of such a flying car, citing high usage costs, charging time, required deposit, and airspace regulatory constraints. The project also faces competition, notably from Xpeng and the US startup Alef Aeronautics. Coverage is dominated by China and the United States: Chinese press focuses on price, deposits, and local projects, while American media concentrates on expert criticism, competition, and regulatory hurdles; articles from Vietnam, Spain, Brazil, and France are less represented in sub-events.
