T-Pain asks Elon Musk to test the "flying" Roadster

A computer-animated Tesla demonstration prompts a practical question: where is anyone supposed to find a giant Hot Wheels loop?

Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 213,782 views a day, 34 times a normal first day on this channel (6,250).

T-Pain reacts to the new “flying” Tesla Roadster

T-Pain starts with a compliment. Watching a white car climb a curved track, he says, "That part was cool." Then it drives upside down and hovers, and his assessment changes: "That part is weird."

His Short, "T-Pain reacts to the new "flying" Tesla Roadster", turns a futuristic car demonstration into a conversation about where anyone would actually use it. The footage is computer animation, not a filmed road test. T-Pain wonders what ordinary journey would supply the overpass or enormous Hot Wheels loop needed for those maneuvers.

The clip drew roughly 214,000 views in its first day, far beyond his usual Shorts audience. Its comment section was about fifty times busier than a typical first day, with viewers extending the toy-track joke: some imagine intersections you jump rather than cross, while others picture roads resembling Sonic's Green Hill Zone or the corkscrewing car sequence in Men in Black.

This is familiar territory for a musician whose channel also makes room for drifting and 3D printing. Here, though, the gadget talk comes with a demand for a demonstration. Before an outro promoting his own energy supplements, T-Pain asks Musk to take the driver's seat with the window down, so everyone can see who is actually in the car.
