ChatGPT, OpenAI’s flagship AI model, considers an ‘Air Tesla’ a relatively imminent possibility, citing Elon Musk’s August 12 reply on X that ‘you will get flying cars’ as circumstantial evidence. The AI linked a 2025 Joe Rogan episode, where Musk discussed the upcoming Roadster’s demonstration, to SpaceX’s involvement and the supposed inclusion of a ‘cold gas thruster’ in the demonstration now scheduled for August 2026. ChatGPT also reflected on the Federal Aviation Administration’s relatively new rules regarding the powered-lift category. It views a flying prototype in the third quarter (Q3) 2026 as plausible and estimated an expensive commercial variant could become available in Q4 2027, though it emphasized the hypothetical hovering Roadster is unlikely to be a full-blown flying car. Regarding Tesla stock, ChatGPT views the launch as a bullish catalyst with limited upside potential, noting shares are already exceptionally expensive with numerous developments priced in. The AI explained that recent stock and electric vehicle trends push its TSLA equity base case to between $350 and $400 – up to a 20.19% rally from $332.81 at the latest close. It estimated a successful ‘Air Tesla’ launch could see the stock soar to $450 by Q4 2027.
