Elon spouts BS. Removes things like stalks that have dropped the Model 3 NCAP rating from 5 stars in Europe. Removes CSS before "Tesla vision" is ready. Lied about FSD (and took people's money) for 7 years over-promising that it's a year away 7x. He's a bull-shitter. Drags Tesla's name into the dirt by spouting conspiracy theories.

I've said it before, I'll say it again: It's quite damning that Tesla's most successful product is the TMY, a product which was reportedly supposed to be much more ambitious before the board forced Elon to step back and make a slightly taller, highly derivative iteration of the TM3 instead.

Tesla's Roadster 2 could make use of SpaceX's (possibly) 3D-printed cold-gas thrusters. These thrusters (also called "RCS thrusters") are the ones that create those white puffs of smoke (condensed air in reality as the cold nitrogen condenses and freezes the air as it expands) at the top of a landing SpaceX rocket booster.

Dec 22, 2017 · Unlike the Models S, X and 3, the batteries in the Roadster where distributed around the vehicle. Easier to remove than test and qualify for spaceflight. This configuration seems to be a fixed platform that won't separate from the second stage. Like the BFS, Falcon/Roadster is an integrated spacecraft.

Jun 10, 2018 · Repost from /u/Tesla in other sub: I'm 100% sure Elon is very, very serious about using ~10 rocket thrusters and a COPV bottle on the Roadster 2, and here are some quick educated guesses about how the "Roadster 2.0 SpaceX Option Package" might look like: - Tesla's Roadster 2 could make use of SpaceX's (possibly) 3D-printed cold-gas thrusters.

Oct 13, 2023 · Tesla has missed the boat again (the Cybertruck was late to the EV Truck party too) There is no way a Tesla Roadster can be the acclaimed "$250k" and remain in competition with these cars. And I don't think it will look as good as any of them. The concepts definitely don't.

Feb 24, 2019 · Thrusters on the Tesla Roadster under computer control seems like a wonderfully interesting SpaceX add-on package option. That LLRV/LLTV video is a good one. I watched the whole thing, with a flight at about the 18 minute mark.

Jun 30, 2018 · SpaceX version might promise 300 miles per hour or 0-60 in 0.5 seconds or some ridiculous unbelievable numbers; I remember napkin math showing they could accelerate the car UPWARD at 1.5Gs, so forward acceleration might be closer to 3 Gs if they really try for it considering the Model S already accelerates to 60 faster than gravity.
