Just another quick comment on how profound this is. Ignoring the fact that traction limits would prevent vehicles from approaching what Tesla has done here (thrusters don't depend on traction for acceleration), it requires about 2,000 HP to move a 3,000 lbs car 0-60 in 1.1 seconds. LET. THAT. SINK. IN.Investors, take notice. The roadster has just been confirmed by EM to do 0-60 in 1.1 seconds (w/ SpaceX option). Not only is this beyond insane, but the ”competition” was beaten at almost double that time (Plaid MS is world’s fastest production car @1.9sec). The competition has been caught “flat footed” by definition here. Utterly. They’ll all have to go back to the drawing board (and likely copy Tesla). This wasn’t even “announced”.
Now, imagine what else Tesla has under wraps....
PS- Depending on thruster placement, they might be able to stop much quicker too....4-D chess I tell you!
