Considering it's their own ad'.... with as many cuts and re-takes as they want.... that thing looks like it generally struggles to hover once it's got a human stood on it! Confused

I think a plank of wood with a greased underside would have been about as effective as that thing for most of the 'action' shots Laughing

Sorry but just see it as a heavily funded commercial for 'look, we can make the future happen (but not really)..... buy our cars!'

I think people just need to stop trying to make hoverboards Confused

If and when they eventually make them operable with weight on them and on uneven surfaces and with battery / vape power long enough to get anywhere worth going..... they will still be crap by their main characteristic... they hover! Hovering stuff doesn't go round corners well, at all, it would be useless for having fun on a skate park or in any way trying to use as some viable form of transport. It's a crap pipe dream, just stop! Very Happy

Now... time travelling Delorean is different though...... Thinking
