Elon Musk Teases Flying Car in Don Lemon Interview: 'Jetsons Vibe'

Billionaire Elon Musk has teased the possibility of producing a commercially-available flying car as the next generation of Tesla vehicles.

In an interview with Don Lemon released in full on Monday morning, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO was asked about the new model of the Roadster—the car manufacturer's original design—which is due to be released next year.

"Look, I don't want to give away much more than what I've said publicly, except that the Roadster will be a collaboration between SpaceX and Tesla—so you can expect some rocket-y stuff there," he said.

Asked by Lemon if it could be a flying car, Musk responded: "Maybe," before waggling his head and laughing. "It's not out of the question. I've got to reserve the cool stuff for when we actually unveil it, but it's going to be really cool; it's going to have some rocket technology in it.

"I think, really, the only way to do something that's cooler than the Cybertruck is to combine SpaceX and Tesla technology to create something that's not ever really a car."

"Then what would it be?" Lemon asked.

"Something that's never existed before," Musk said, before agreeing with Lemon that it would have "Jetsons vibes," a reference to the space age Hanna-Barbera cartoon which features flying cars.
