Footage of ‘world’s first’ flying car leaves everyone saying the same thing as eye-watering price revealed

If you thought the Tesla Cybertrucks looked weird and futuristic, just wait for the world's first flying cars to become the norm.

In February, Alef Aeronautics (the manufacturer of the world's first flying car) successfully tested its first prototype, which was approved by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in 2023.

The first of its cars are being manufactured in California, US, at Alef's Silicon Valley-based facility and each vehicle takes months of craftsmanship.

Now, after a long wait, Alef's famous car will soon be delivered to some of its early customers.

But you won't be seeing the car, named Model A Ultralight, floating onto the I-90 anytime soon because Alef says it is only making deliveries to some people 'for the purpose of testing flying cars in the real world environment, under very controlled conditions'.

"Alef plans to train, ensure compliance, and provide maintenance to those few early adapters," a new press release goes on to explain.

"The knowledge gained from this process will support the transition to manufacturing and delivering pre-orders in the queue," it adds.

Should the trials go well, the cars are then expected to go into mass production.

Videos of Model A were shared earlier this year, following Alef's February trial run and a lot of people were left saying the same thing about the futuristic car.

"That looks like a drone covered by some plastic toy car," one person commented on NBC News' report shared to YouTube.

"We ALL know that sound! A BUNCH of drone propellers under a very lightweight shell," shared a second.

A third person echoed: "That is a not a car, it’s just a drone with a car shell."

"That's not even a car, that's an oversized drone with the fiberglass body of a car," argued another.

People might be somewhat skeptical abut the fancy car, but that hasn't stopped 3,500 preordering the vehicle.

With each car priced at around $300,000, Alef says its made a $1 billion in pre-sales already.

Addressing the fact that customers will be getting their hands on the first few Model A vehicles soon, Jim Dukhovny, CEO of Alef, said: "We are happy to report that production of the first flying car has started on schedule. The team worked hard to meet the timeline, because we know people are waiting. We're finally able to get production off the ground."

Apparently the cars will be available sometime in early 2026, New York Post reports.
