Terrafugia car plane combo criticism

Hi there flat screen viewers, today in this article I'm going to complain about Terrafugias car plane combo prototype. Carl Dietrich if you're reading this I want you to be warned about the risk you're taking. As you know this is not the flying car I was looking forward to. In fact it flies like in the movies Chitty Chitty Bang Bang or Inspector Gadgets Biggest Caper Ever. In other words you can only fly in 5 directions. I don't like that because I want a flying car to fly like a helicopter not like a winged airplane. I don't like the idea of having to go to the airport and roll on the runway for a diagonal takeoff and landing. I also don't like how you have no airbrakes or backing up or hovering still in midair so you still have to evade buildings or mountains meaning you have to pull up or crash. Also if bad guys get a hold of this car plane combo they would try to crash into buildings. On the plus side for sky pilots you don't need a hanger garage or rental wheel cars anymore but still seems very risky like winged airplanes are. Also on the ground in wheel mode their folded wings are at risk of getting bent by other wheel cars. Now about their car plane combo business I don't think their Inspector Gadget car plane combo is going to sell very well because their price is too stinking high. $194000 who wants to pay for that product most people don't I don't think Carl Dietrich is going to have enough customers let alone 1. His business model doesn't look promising besides that most people are not willing to get a pilots license just to fly and there are people scared of heights. Carl Dietrich is taking a high risk and worse yet he might get sued by people who survived the crash. Carl I hope you decide to sell off your private company to a big airplane company and also I hope you can give air taxi joyrides to customers. Because I think customers are more willing to spend $100 for a air taxi ride rather than owning a $194000 car plane combo that has high insurance risks or maintenance. Also renting a car plane combo for $500 per hour would be a better I think So in conclusion offering car plane combo rides to customers is a better business than owning an expensive one. I just hope things do not go wrong for Carl Dietrich and make good choices in this flying business.
