This market will resolve to “Yes” if Tesla publicly unveils a working flying vehicle before 23:59 PST on December 31, 2025.
For the purposes of this market:
“Tesla” means Tesla, Inc.
“Flying vehicle” means a vehicle designed for human transportation that is able to take off, fly, and land without continuous contact with the ground.
“Flying” means sustained movement through the air under its own power and control, maintaining altitude for more than a brief jump or hop (e.g., not a short lift, hover test, or drone-assisted lift).
“Unveils” means Tesla presents the vehicle as a Tesla product or prototype in an official Tesla event, demo, press release, website update, regulatory filing, or public live demonstration, and shows it operating (not just renderings or animations).
Purely conceptual designs, patents, investor deck slides, CGI videos, or executive comments without a physical prototype/demo do not count.
Third-party aircraft with Tesla branding or partnership does not count unless Tesla explicitly claims it as a Tesla-designed and -built vehicle.
If these conditions are not met by 23:59 PST on December 31, 2025, the market will resolve to “No”.
Primary resolution source:
Official Tesla communications (press releases, events, website, or filings). A consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
Update 2025-11-05 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): The flying vehicle does not need to fly non-stop for hours like a traditional airplane. It should be a car that is capable of flying for a few seconds (but not just a "brief jump or hop" as already excluded in the criteria).

@predyx_markets Those criteria seem like they would apply to traditional airplane. Surely a flying car has to be a car.
@moobunny Not really, the car doesn't have to fly non-stop for hours like a traditional airplane. It should still be a car thats capable of flying for few seconds. But not a "brief jump or hop"
