Impressive order book if tru

I find it amazing that all these companies can fund raise that kind of money on the strength of a YouTube CGI video. Don't investors do any research anymore ? So what if they did a short flight in what is basically a homebuilt bug smasher complete with lots of bumpy rivet heads ? That is a very, very ,very, long way from a viable 9 seat airplane that can go 200 miles with reserves in all weather.

If this thing is put into revenue service I will post nice things about Elon Musk on this site. You can hold me to it !
