Summary
Alef Aeronautics, a flying car firm backed by SpaceX, has reached 2850 preorders for its two-seater flying car, Alef Model A. The company plans to charge customers $300,000 for the vehicle. Alef is also working on a four-person sedan, Model Z, scheduled for launch in 2035. The company's CEO, Jim Dukhovny, claims that Alef's vehicle is the "first flying car in history" as it resembles an actual car with a mesh shell protecting the rotors. Despite high preorder numbers, Alef plans to start production slowly and may not be able to meet all the demand immediately.
