Video taking off 89x its usual first day

A CNBC guest bets his hat against Tesla's flying Roadster

Squawk Box sets thruster-powered flips beside a Chitty Chitty Bang Bang comparison, a charity pledge and a question about Cybertruck promises.

Channel: CNBC International Live Story of Trari Newsroom

Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 173,186 views a day, 89 times a normal first day on this channel (1,946).

Things we can learn from the video

Press to jump

  1. 0:08Unveiling footage shows the Roadster hovering, flipping and performing vertical stunts using SpaceX thruster technology.
  2. 0:27The claims: zero to 60 mph in under a second, production slated for 2028 and no price revealed.
  3. 0:46Musk says the car's downforce will let it corner as if breaking physics and break every track record.
  4. 1:10The anchor compares the demonstration to humanoid robot spectacles meant to keep investors confident.
  5. 2:40The guest pledges to eat his hat and give $1,000 to charity if a flying production car arrives by 2028.
  6. 3:22The discussion turns to earlier Cybertruck production estimates and whether the timeline is realistic.

"I am willing to eat my hat if that actually happens," says the studio guest on CNBC International Live. The "that" is a flying Tesla production car by 2028, and he adds a sweetener: a thousand dollars to the first charity the anchor can name.

The Squawk Box segment opens as a market alert. Footage shows the next-generation Roadster hovering, flipping and performing vertical stunts with thruster technology borrowed from SpaceX, after almost ten years of missed deadlines for the car. The anchor runs through the claims: zero to 60 mph in under a second, production in 2028 and, in the anchor's words, "here's the kicker": no price.

In clip footage from the unveiling, Musk makes his case for what happens on the ground. The downforce is so strong, he says, that cornering will look "like you're breaking physics," and the car is "gonna crush every track record that has ever existed."

The studio is less dazzled. The anchor compares the show to humanoid robot spectacles, a way to show what is technically possible and keep investors confident. The guest reaches for Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, admits "I didn't actually think that car was flying," and brings up earlier Cybertruck production estimates before asking whether a flying car will really arrive by 2028.

This channel mostly carries livestreams of Squawk Box Europe and Access Middle East, and its short clips usually stay small: a regular upload draws about 2,000 views on its first day. This one passed 150,000 within 18 hours. Its comment section, where a single comment on day one is normal, filled with screen memories: Knight Rider's turbo boost, Speed Racer's Mach 5 and the observation that flying cars arrived before GTA VI.
