If you've ever scrolled through the endless, chaotic inventory of the discount retailer Temu, you've probably seen some questionable electronics. But the automotive YouTubers at goonzquad just took the gamble of a lifetime by purchasing what they described as "the craziest and most dangerous thing we've ever bought" from the site: a fully functional, manned flying car.Designed to lift a human being up to 200 pounds into the air using eight massive carbon-fiber propellers, the giant quadcopter drone is essentially a budget knockoff of the $130,000 Jetson One."I know what everybody's thinking right now. We've actually told a couple people about this idea and everybody's like, 'You're crazy. Don't do it, this is dangerous,'" the brothers admitted during the unboxing.As it turns out, the skeptics were absolutely right to be concerned.Mold, Rust, and Broken PropellersWhen you buy a manned aircraft from a discount app, a few manufacturing quirks are to be expected. But the unboxing process of the Temu drone was particularly sketchy.Upon prying open the massive wooden shipping crates, the team immediately noticed that one of the crates was completely covered in mold. While the stunning teal carbon-fiber body of the drone impressed them, they soon found patches of rust on the frame's connections and, worst of all, a massive chip taken out of the edge of one of the carbon-fiber propellers."You technically cannot fly with that," they noted, pointing out the damage on the fastest-spinning part of the blade.Compounding the hardware issues was the software. The Android-based remote control was entirely in Chinese, forcing the team to use Google Translate on their phones to decipher the menus and communicate with the Chinese supplier at 3:00 AM to ensure the drone wouldn't just fly away forever once turned on.The Manned Maiden FlightDespite the glaring red flags, the team strapped a willing test pilot into the five-point harness for a tethered hover test.To their absolute disbelief, the massive electric motors spooled up and lifted the pilot smoothly into the air."We freaking flew! He flew, bro, you actually flew!" they screamed as the drone hovered a few feet off the grass.Surprisingly, the pilot reported that the Temu drone was incredibly stable. "It actually didn't feel too bad honestly, and it lifted up that weight with no problem… honestly it felt like super peaceful for some reason".A Disastrous EndAfter proving the drone could lift a human, the pilot got out so the team could test the drone's top-end maneuverability using the remote control.Flying empty, the giant drone whipped through the sky like a massive RC helicopter. But confidence quickly bred catastrophe. Wanting to see how the drone handled an abrupt forward pitch, the pilot jammed the joystick forward.The drone violently pitched its nose down, losing all lift and plummeting directly into the tall grass."Oh no! Oh no! Oh no! Yeah dude, no, we're cooked," the team yelled as they ran toward the wreckage, ending the video on a massive cliffhanger.While it's unclear exactly how much damage the Temu drone sustained in the crash, one thing is certain: buying a discount flying car on the internet is exactly as chaotic as it sounds.
