Tesla's Supercharger Team was recently laid off. We discuss what this means for the company on today's TMC Podcast streaming live at 1PM PDT. You can watch on X or on YouTube where you can participate in the live chat.
Yeah, I looked at several on YouTube the morning after the launch, and they all had that ...
... then i googled and found it on Tesla's site (on the page with the Semi / Roadster reservation), but as @shokunin said earlier that's now gone.
Perhaps Tesla had some sort of time-limited license for the music? I can't see that anything, which breaches copyright on the music, is going to survive on YouTube for very long
Would be a great pity if the presentation was no longer available, I enjoyed being sat in front of my screen watching it, how sad is that?!, but all the time I was wishing it had been on YouTube so I could watch it at a faster frame rate ...
You’re right. And there are many other elements which make a F1 car a better race car (not the least of which are those huge racing slick tires). I do hope though they will have figured out the cooling problem so that the Roadster 2 can be used as a track car.

For sure the battery needed to be able to deliver that number of launches (I saw a clip where the driver said he had started on 90-something and been doing launches "all evening" and was now on 60-something).
But it seems to be that there was a lot of recovery time (to cool down / whatever) available in the way the demos were timetabled
Yes, each run had about 2 seconds of full power and the rest was only low level power use and sitting still waiting. If there were 50 test runs that night that would be less than 2 total minutes of full power use.
