【Watch Red Mother in law Online】

CES loves a flying car,Watch Red Mother in law Online doesn't it?

At this year's consumer tech showcase, we took a look at Xpeng Aero HT's Land Aircraft Carrier, and got inside the cockpit of the company's modular eVTOL (that's electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing for the uninitiated). An electric vehicle that's equally at home cruising the highway or soaring through the sky? Groundbreaking, sure — but also peak CES.

Let’s clear one thing up: the massive, six-wheeled EV isn't technically a flying car. Xpeng's so-called "Mothership"— a minivan-like vehicle that gives off strong Cybertruck vibes — doesn't leave the ground. What it doesdo, though, is carry a two-seater eVTOL aircraft that actually takes to the skies. Still, it's undeniably cool. After chatting with co-founder and CEO Wang Tan, it’s obvious that Xpeng is all-in on its mission to give drivers the "freedom to fly."

Because the Mothership is a near-final prototype, we couldn't take a proper peek inside. But we didget to sit in the two-person aircraft itself, where Tan walked us through the basics. Xpeng's goal is to make flying as simple as possible. The controls are minimal — a one-handed joystick for maneuvering, automated flight systems for short, self-guided trips, and backup button controls conveniently placed on the center console.

But before you start dreaming of zipping through city skylines, pump the brakes. Xpeng envisions the eVTOL as more of a recreational escape, far from crowded urban spaces. And let’s be real—most drivers can barely handle two dimensions, let alone three. Oh, and you’ll need a Light Sport Aircraft license too.

The Mothership and eVTOL combo boasts a combined range of 1,000 kilometers — just over 620 miles. But here’s the kicker: the EV isn't just a ride; it's a mobile charging station for the eVTOL. Together, they form Xpeng's ambitious "phase 1" in the quest to make personal flight a reality. Phase 2? A car that actually flies.

So far, Xpeng claims over 3,000 intent orders and plans to start shipping in China by 2026. As for the price tag? Brace yourself — the Land Aircraft Carrier is expected to land somewhere around $300,000.
