Recent reports about Elon Musk’s involvement in a flying car priced at $4,999 appear to be unfounded or speculative. Instead, current developments in the flying car market highlight other notable advancements. For instance, Alef Aeronautics, a startup supported by SpaceX, has developed the Model A, a $300,000 flying car with significant preorder interest. This vehicle combines road and aerial capabilities and is expected to be available by late 2025. Additionally, more affordable flying cars, like Alef’s proposed $35,000 Model Z, are in the pipeline for future release, likely by 2035​

While these innovations promise to revolutionize urban mobility and reduce traffic congestion, they also pose challenges such as the need for infrastructure updates, regulatory compliance, and public acceptance.
