It's hard to claim they're cheaper when they have a fraction of the range of gas helicopters. It's apples to oranges, the flying cars now are equivalent to electric golf carts in performance.

For those cases where their range is sufficient, they are vastly cheaper. And their range is going to increase over the years as batteries improve.
