An AI-generated image of a Cybertruck merged with a plane has sparked interest, leading Musk to suggest Tesla should explore this idea. While flying cars remain a distant dream, the growing eVTOL market presents opportunities for Tesla, especially as it develops its robotaxi fleet. The concept of a flying Cybertruck could position Tesla in a new segment, aligning with advancements in electric vertical takeoff and landing technology. **Tesla Inc** TSLA CEO **Elon Musk** is known for making bold promises over the years. Many end up taking years to come to market, as seen with the Cybertruck, but often they end up coming true, no matter how bold the claim. That's why a picture of a flying Cybertruck has Tesla fans captivated. **What Happened**: In recent months, Tesla has been struggling to sell Cybertruck units, with the electric pickup truck losing market share to legacy automakers General Motors and Ford. The Cybertruck's unique design and durability have led to a sharp divide among Tesla fans, who consider it the best-looking vehicle of all time, and other consumers, who view it as one of the ugliest vehicles ever. A future flying version of the Cybertruck could have much of the same divide. A user on X created an image of a "Cybertruck merged with a passenger plane flying through a futuristic post apocalyptic world run by robots." The image was created by Grok Image Video, an AI assistant from Musk's **xAI** company. With the image gaining attention on X, Musk offered up his response. "Maybe Tesla should make this," Musk replied. **Read Also: EXCLUSIVE: Archer CEO Says Trump’s eVTOL Push Is A Game-Changer** **Why It's Important:** Flying cars have long been a fantasy for many people, including fans of Tesla. Some reports link the unreleased Tesla Roadster follow-up vehicle to having some flying capabilities thanks to technology used by Musk's **SpaceX** space company. While the world could be years away from flying cars that can operate on roadways and into the sky above buildings at a large scale, Musk's vision of a flying Cybertruck could end up pushing Tesla into a new segment. The growth of the electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft segment has been occurring in recent years and is now receiving increased support from the White House administration. Companies like **Archer Aviation** ACHR and **Joby Aviation** JOBY are working on bringing their versions of flying taxis to the skies. The electric aircraft will be used to transport passengers from airport to airport or for other short flights. With Tesla working on its robotaxi fleet on the ground with its autonomous vehicles, it wouldn't be too far-fetched to see the company also consider getting into the eVTOL space in the future. So while the image of a flying Cybertruck over a city of robots and futuristic looking buildings could be decades down the road, Tesla could take on the eVTOL market in the future or keep working on "flying" capabilities for the highly anticipated new Roadster vehicle. - **EXCLUSIVE: Archer CEO On Competition, Commercialization Goals – ‘I Wouldn’t Trade Our Positioning Here With Anyone Else’** *Photo: Alessia Pierdomenico/Shutterstock* ### Related Stocks - [TSLA.US - Tesla](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLA.US.md) - [TSDD.US - GraniteShares 2x Short TSLA Daily ETF](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSDD.US.md) - [TSLL.US - Direxion Daily TSLA Bull 2X Shares](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLL.US.md) - [TSLQ.US - AXS TSLA Bear Daily ETF](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLQ.US.md) - [09366.HK - XI2CSOPTSLA-U](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/09366.HK.md) - [07766.HK - XL2CSOPTSLA](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/07766.HK.md) - [07366.HK - XI2CSOPTSLA](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/07366.HK.md) - [TSLR.US - GraniteShares 2x Long TSLA Daily ETF](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLR.US.md) ## Related News & Research | Title | Description | URL | |-------|-------------|-----| | ANALYSIS-Musk fires up SpaceX, Bezos pushes Blue Origin as US billionaires race China to moon | The competition between U.S. billionaires Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos in the space race is intensifying as both aim to retu | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/275888738.md) | | After He Sold His First Company, Elon Musk Chose A McLaren F1 Instead Of A House.
