Why it matters for readers: Gives a simple view of how two electric 'flying car' projects differ in propulsion and design.
- Alef released a video of its flying car flying over the new Tesla Roadster to 'welcome it to the flying car race.'1
- Alef said its vehicle completed its 1,000th logged flight, which it noted happened to be a Tesla Roadster.1
- Alef highlighted design differences: it uses distributed electric propulsion, a wing-forming body, a rotating cabin, and air for liftoff enabling a full-vehicle ballistic parachute.1
- Alef contrasted its DEP approach with Tesla Roadster's expected thruster-based liftoff and noted both vehicles use electric powertrains and are all-wheel drive.1
