Flying cars are no longer just for the movies. Alef Aeronautics has begun building the first electric\u00a0flying cars<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0for customers, which are being hand-made in California.<\/p>\n

Electric flying cars are real and hand-made in the US<\/strong><\/p>\n

It sounds like something from The Jetsons or Harry Potter, but flying cars are becoming a reality. Alef has been developing all-electric flying cars for about a decade now.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

After unveiling a prototype in 2016, the company secured backing from early Tesla and Bitcoin investor Tim Draper. Draper became a pioneering investor and mentor to the team.<\/p>\n

The big funding round propelled Alef to create not just a toy, but a flying car that can be used as an everyday commute vehicle.
\nIn 2018, the company\u2019s first full-size \u201cskeleton\u201d was flown, and the following year, the first prototype was shown to a group of investors.<\/p>\n

Alef introduced its first model, dubbed the Model A, in 2022, a 100% electric flying car that can drive 220 miles with a 110-mile flight range.<\/p>\n

Less than a year later, it became the first to receive a Special Airworthiness Certification from the US Federal Aviation Administration while securing its first pre-orders from a car dealership.<\/p>\n

We got our\u00a0first look at the flying car in action<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<\/span>earlier this year after Alef released a video of an ultralight Model A jumping over other vehicles, including a Tesla Cybertruck.\u00a0 According to Alef, it was the \u201cfirst-ever video in history of a car driving and vertically taking off.\u201d<\/p>\n

In its mission to make flying cars a reality, the California-based startup announced another major milestone on Monday.<\/p>\n

Alef said it has begun manufacturing the first flying cars for customers at its facility in Silicon Valley, California. The first models are being hand-made and will be delivered to just a few early customers \u201cfor the purpose of testing flying cars in the real world environment,\u201d according to Alef.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The company plans to train and support early adopters, using lessons learned as it ramps up production and deliveries.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are happy to report that production of the first flying car has started on schedule,\u201d Alef\u2019s CEO, Jim Dukhovny, said at the event.<\/p>\n

Alef claims its flying cars are \u201c100% electric, drivable on public roads, and has vertical takeoff and landing capabilities.\u201d<\/p>\n

The startup has already received 3,500 pre-orders, which it says is worth $1 billion. Alef\u2019s flying car is expected to start at around $299,999. You can pre-order one on\u00a0Alef\u2019s website<\/strong><\/a><\/span>\u00a0with a $150 deposit, or you can secure a spot in the priority queue for $1,500. The first customer deliveries are expected to begin in 2026.<\/p>\n
