Is that supposed to be Elon Musk?

There are toy cars that work like this, or that use a flywheel to store energy in a similar way, for example the Fisher-Price Rev 'N Go Stunt Vehicles. The salesman is offering a full sized car on the same principle. The toys don't go very far. Neither will the full sized car, though he implies it will go "far" before stopping. He doesn't offer any practical way to rewind the spring. 2A12:F43:1462:CC00:583C:B3A7:2A0B:2140 09:56, 12 May 2026 (UTC) dww
