Flying rocket car editionPrevious >>17072394
Cancel Falcon 9.
Tesla isn't a rocket
>>17075844>Flyingis it doe? more like hopping car
>>17075844So this is the power of HLS
>>17075852What is flight?
>>17075844how far would this fly on the moon?
>>17075856A miserable pile of hops
>>17075856not hopping. else I am literally flying towards the kitchen right now
>>17075858About 5 kilometers
>>17075856avoiding the ground

>>17075844>Looks different from 2017 announcement>2 seats instead of 4>300 miles range instead of 620>Still 2 years away from production for real this time I promiseThanks Elon
>>17075844not spaceflight
>>17075903>car fly using spaceX COPVs it's more spaceflight than blue origin right now lamo
>>17075855are cold gas thrusters enough to land a starship class moon lander?
>>17075844Grok?>Compressed air is transparent in Earth's atmosphere.Then why does Elons flying fartmobile have grey exhaust?>Uhhh...
>>17075907it's white and it's waterkill yourself, retard
>>17075890don't care, I want independent reviewers who get a real production one. until then everything is fake and gay (or grossly exagerated).
>>17075908>It's water! It just is okay?"Nice village Prince Potenkin..."
>>17075906Maybe, but good luck refilling the COPVs on the moon.
>>17075856spaceflight isn’t even flight. there’s no lift involved. it is just coasting on a ballistic trajectory.
>>17075908>Its not grey! It's white!So? Why is air now white? And no -- not water. When air is compressed there's a dehumidifier in the loop >Uhhh ..Simps falling for the grift again.
Do you guys say Cop-Vee or See-Oh-Pee-Vee?
its co-peevee
>>17075924See-oh-pee-vee. I also say El-ee-oh for LEO. I don’t like when people say “leo” it’s kinda weird.
>>17075924copy v
>>17075890>aluminum lower plate>aluminum batteries cansIt's just begging for a battery fire
I call him Ee-el-oh-en
No prizes for guessing the subject of Thunderf00t's next video
>>17075946they're already making theories the demo car actually weighed just 500lbs
Like Apollo, we have lost our Rocket Car technology. Starman was the last of his kind.
>>17075919When a gas is under pressure and then allowed to expand through a nozzle it accelerates and the density decreases. This results in a drop in both the temperature and pressure. The low temps are causing the moisture in the surrounding air to condense.
>>17075924I say "pressure bomb"
>>17075844get this supercar demo out of /sfg/ and into /o/ where it belongs
>>17075948fraudulon scamusk strikes again
The COPVhttps://x.com/PTrubey/status/2110906411114791288/photo/3
>>17075890>the stig turns out to be optimus
>>17075948How about a Tesla made of reinforced aerogel
Tesla not spehflight>Tesla not spehflightTesla not spehflight>Tesla not spehflight
Does anyone think this car will be actually on the road? I had people arguing this is definitely flying on the road in two years, but surely this is an insane security risk. We're going to have people flying their cars into your house. What sort of airbags and seatbelts we got flying our cars into each other?Any trade centers?
>>17075996no man you are obviously not allowed to fly on public roads and they're only gonna sell these to select people as a stunt.downforce fans and acceleration thrusters are probably fine in some jurisdictions though.
>>17075948impossiblein his last video on it Thunderf00t demonstrated that the pressure vessel alone weighs several tons
>>17075963it's a VLEO spacecraft
>>17075998Acceleration thrusters that are gonna blow road debris into the windshields of cars behind?
>>17075998>you are obviously not allowed to fly on public roads>fly>not on the roadI'm not seeing the problem here
>>17075954Doesn't happen with the air compressor in the garage. Doesn't happen with the canned air by the computer. Just accept that Felon grifted you again and try not to be a sucker next time.
Wtf is the point of a flying car that is not allowed on the roads? We already have rockets and planes, wtf
elon genius. reinvent train. reinvent plane. he will reinvent rocket
Are you ready for the next Spinlaunch tier investor bait rocket company?https://x.com/_charlieweise/status/2110761029986922730
>>17075996Grok?>Tesla Roadster: Tesla unveiled a prototype flying Roadster using SpaceX-developed compressed-air thrusters. It is an experimental prototype and has not received FAA certifications or approval for public . Grifters gonna grift
>>17076003bad baitkill yourself
>>17076009LMAOOOOOnuke san francisco
>>17076016this faggot has been baiting in here for a year straight now.
>>17076005Normies are more impressed by this than a booster catch. Bread and circuses.
>roadster revealed>the EDS schizo poster goes into overdriveLmao seethe
>>17076017actually in germany but spiritually a very san franciscan vc scam
>>17076009They're cute. Grift or not, I hope they get some some money from idiots
>>17075994>Tesla not spehflightKek.
>>17075996>Does anyone think this car will be actually on the road?I hope my flying car is in the air actually. Being “on the road” seems old fashioned.
>>17076009they're gonna do a 2 stroke cycle rocket engine aren't they.open valve, let propellant in, close valve combust and repeat.
>>17076022Imagine being so deranged that you see last night's demonstration of the first flying car in history and you have to lie to yourself that you didn't think it was cool because you don't like the guy who made it. What a sad life
>>17076030congratulations, you're talking about an aircraft my brother
>>17075862Based hopchad
>>17075862>disniggahoppinyall.png
>>17076033there have been other flying cars before
>>17076051>there have been other electric cars before
>>17075972>The COPV >On 2 January 2017, SpaceX released an official statement indicating that the cause of the failure was a buckled liner in several of the Composite overwrapped pressure vessel (COPV) tanks
>>17076033Grok, is Elons Fartmobile a flying car?>No! “The Tesla vehicle does not meet the FAA’s definition of an aircraft,” the Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement to POLITICO, meaning the agency would not need to certify the vehicle as airworthy.
>>17076057it doesn't have to be certified to fly, you know that right? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UI52ghUYKO4
>>17076054yeah if you said elon made the first electric car in history you would be similarly retarded.
>>17075844I mean this sincerely, but why the fuck would I want a car that can hop?
>>17076062only women would ask themselves that question
>>17075948It's heavier than that but it's not really a car either, it's more of a drone with a car shaped exterior.>>17075996It's not street legal so never.>>17076062It's cool for stunts like that. Similar to monster trucks for instance. Nice to see but it's not a vehicle.
>>17076059Geo>• Powered-Lift Rules: The FAA updated regulations for powered-lift aircraft operations and pilot certifications to build a framework for air taxis, emerging air mobility.and I guess million dollar Fartmobile scams.
imagine the police car chases
>>17076094>hi, is this tesla hq? yes, please deactivate the vehicle corresponding to the following license plate...
>>17076105I just realized I've seen no tesla chases.
>>17076094Okay, I see a black guy
>>17076105bad idea in densly populated areas
>>17076025>We are spRocket>and now it is time to dance
>>17076025All four are the most stereotypical looking angloids
>>17076062It would be useful for emergency braking or steering. If it wasn't so fucking heavy, brittle, not road legal.
>>17076140the air system should be road legal. not jumping with it, but acceleration...why wouldn't it be road legal?
>>17076062Only richfags with connections are getting that version and they have acres of land they can do stunts on if they want.
>>17076144how loud is it?in the EU the limit is 68dB
>>17076151doubt he's targeting the EU market with that. prolly Dubai and US
seriously missed oportunity if it doesn't also have front facing nozzles for hard braking with it
>>17076155it doesn'twas disappointed when i learned that
>>17076156
>>17076155why do you want to be splattered all over your windscreen?
>>17076162if you can take it from the back you can take it from the front as well
>>17076062When I was four I used to drive in my grandfather's GMC, this was back in the early 90s. I thought that all GMC's came with a "jump button", that would let you jump over other cars. Anyways, the Roadster 2 jump test thing works like how my 4 year old mind imagine a jump button would work.I guess what I'm saying is that a 4 year old (and 36 year old me) would think this is badass
>>17076062>farts cold gas from above in your general directionnothing personnel, luddite
Kek imagine driving around your average American road with a two ton suction force vaccuum strapped to the bottom of your car POP POP POP annihilating six million pothole patches
>>17076166The old GM engineers of the 90s dumped all their skill points in making reliable iron-block engines and A/C iceboxes that cool a car down to freezer temperatures
>>17076169Imagine ground-pounding EARTHERS in your heavy ass electric car like a thwomp
>>17076166I bet you watched Speed Racer. This is Elon making the Mach 5 real!
>>17076144Grok?>Transporting compressed air or compressed gas cylinders is governed by strict federal and international hazardous materials (hazmat) regulations, particularly when shipping via ground transit.That's why it's not road legal
>>17076174it’s okay we’ll switch to QI thrusters soon enough!
>>17076174>what is LPG?really bro? that shit is even flamable yet still legal
having normies and kids on the internet was a mistake. you should need a license to be on the internet
>>17076177There are strict regulations on certification and inspection. Want an inspection everytime we you back out of your driveway?
>>17076180>still talking out of his ass
why didn't Tesla enter the LTV competition?
>>17076181>still responding to the baiter
>>17076183My only thought is that the money from the contract just wouldn’t be worth it and it would be more thing that would spread the tesla and/or SX team too thin. The focus needed to be on cybertruck/SFD/taxi/this demo, and SX needs to focus on SS and HLS
>>17075844It's depressing what things impress a retard.
>>17076188Sir, you forgot your thinking cap.
>>17076189You're right. Sorry let me put it on...Elon Musk is a genius!
>>17076190You sound impressed.
>>17076188There are people in this very thread who looked at something whimsical made real and immediately decided that the most important thing they could do is deride people for enjoying themselves. Truly, some people are incapable of feeling joy, and are no longer able to tell the difference between it and the brief sense of satisfaction found in spreading their own misery to others.
>>17076192I can't stop people from from cheering when their rapist rapes them but I don't have to like it.
>>17076193is that even rape anymore?
>>17076193Rape and technological advancement are two different things
>>17076193>Being so buck-broken about how other people spend their own money that they unironically compare it to rape
>>17076193elon is mindraping you and living in your head rent free
>>17076193Based guy who is really unhappy over a silly concept car thing
>>17075844Why is this in /sci?? Its politics.The current political strategy meme these days is called "flooding"Produce a flood of controversial, attention seeking, distractions that leave people confused and guessing while wowing the dumb masses with crass showmanship. Businesses are also using the same strategy. Often those with close links to political movements.The strategy has ancient roots. Torturing witches and heretics before burning them alive was effectively the same sort of thing.>We know its stupid.>You know its stupid>We know you think its stupid>But look at the dummies lap it up, lol>Look at how easily we control them>And you cant do anything about it, lol>Now dont try to stir the pot because we can do it to you tooThat's all it boils down to. A pack of fucking monkeys. With the top monkeys making sure they stay on top.
>>17076204Congratulations: you are the most cynical, sad fucking sack present here today.
>>17076204musk has been doing these stunts long before getting active in politics you dumb fuck
>>17076105>gets bricked mid-flight
>>17076204You can counter-signal without being pedantic
Looks like Blorg is planning two new launchpads outside of LC-36, two new landing ships, and a facility intended to build up to 150 NG second stages per year.https://www.blueorigin.com/news/building-infrastructure-for-more-frequent-launches-in-floridaBerger article:https://arstechnica.com/space/2026/10/blue-origin-is-going-all-in-on-the-new-glenn-rocket/
>>17076204>Why is this in /sci??science used in car is rocket adjancet? /sci/ is the home of rocketards
>>17076105If you're paying that much for a car you'd be a retard for not having it rooted and the killswitch disabled
>>17076221An excellent point, which is something that Anon would be well aware of if he wasn't a board tourist, likely from one of the political arenas that's feeling salty and/or threatened by the rocket thruster powered Roadster being cool and unprecedented.
>>17076226yeah sure let me find that hack on github
>>17076226AI can't do shit on signed and cryptographically verified software. nothing can change on that front, apart from some bugs, which get swiftly patched anyway. and even if you do pull it off and fully block it from the internet, they'll cancel your warranty and won't ever sell you any parts for it. so you're fucked anway you look at it.
>>17076217>check comments>discussion is mostly about a car and not New Glennlel
>>17076235*flying rocket car
>>17075919It cools abruptly upon expansion, condensing ambient atmospheric moisture
>>17076188Maybe if you weren't so willfully joyless, you wouldn't be depressed
>>17076094>imagine the police car chasesproblem, officer?
>>17076248Enjoy your simulacra bro
>>17076252lmao
>>17076252that's good
>>17076062t. hopless car owner
>>17075844I'm curious about the militarization potential. Light ATVs which can jump gorges? Tanks? Jumping tanks??
>>17076274They'd need onboard AI of the highest finest military grade of course, to plan the jumps in real time.
>>17076276(This is, after all, the catch isn't it? The roadster doesn't plan jumps in real time, so every jump is a preplanned stunt. And if you're launching tanks around with hydrazine, hard landings will save delta-v but destroy spines, so take out the human pilots and replace them with AIs. This also reduces the hull / mass requirements. Hydrazine powered think-tanks, autonomously leaping around the battlefield.
>>17076281>This also reduces the hull / mass requirementsyeah to like...drones. which already exist on the battlefield
>>17076281i don't know why the military still uses manned vehicles anyways
>>17076276>>17076274The computational cost of flying a roadster is approximately Fuck-All. All you need is terrain following radar and a computer that can do real time trajectory computation and figure out control inputs accordingly. Computers could do all of that at least ten years ago, and probably closer to twenty.
>>17076284they're still cheaper than robots. good price/performance ratio by comparison
>>17076284It turns out it's kind of hard for a machine or group of machines to take and then hold territory on a continuously occupied basis. We are living in a novel era where that might be becoming feasible, but it's not there yet.
>>17076283No, I'm talking about tanks. Take out human, put in hydrazine. They do still use tanks, this would make them much better.
>>17076285Okay well I'd love to see them demonstrate that. If it can improvise new drive and jump routes in the fly, as an animal might, then all the more reason to put it in a tank! put this in a tank!!!
>>17076205>>17076205I can understand your anger for being called out for being stupid, but to admit it further is a special kind of stupid. Like being the most stupid sheep in the flock.
combat applications of starship tho
>>17076295The future of warfare is orbital drops of hydrazine powered think tanks.
>>17076291>Implying that being miserable about everything makes you smartHouse MD wasn't a documentary on what it means to be smart.
>>17076009>90% fewer partstechbros rediscover pressure-fed engines?
In other news, the first Terran R second stage hot fire test happened this morning. I'm still not sure which between Terran R or Nova Pathfinder will have their maiden launch first.
China has surpassed SpaceXThe west is in decline>The vehicle lifted off at 7:40 a.m. Eastern (7:40 p.m. Beijing Time) from Launch Area 96A, placing eight orbital data center test spacecraft developed by ADAspace Technology alongside two secondary communications satellites into their planned orbital trajectories.>The primary payload manifest includes eight ADAspace spacecraft designed for dawn-dusk orbital regimes:>High-Performance Compute Payloads: Onboard processing clusters engineered for in-orbit AI model training and algorithm execution.>Active Thermal Management: Advanced 10,000-watt liquid-cooling loops paired with deployable radiative cooling panels to dissipate computational heat in the vacuum of space.>Optical Crosslinks: High-throughput inter-satellite laser communications transceivers enabling mesh-network coordination across the orbital cluster.>Earth Observation Suite: Integrated low-light sensors for autonomous night-imaging analysis.https://satnews.com/2026/10/15/landspace-launches-zhuque-2e-carrying-eight-adaspace-orbital-data-center-satellites/
>>17076302i thought this was supposed to be a very conventional rocket, which would imply they should get it ready relatively easily
>>17076305>China copies something the US already did>THE WEST IS IN DECLINEEvery time.
>>17076307Nova is not particularly conventional. It's using a Falcon-9 sized booster that flies similar to Superheavy, with a biconic second stage with two hydrolox burning turbopumps powering an array of combustion chambers positioned around the base of the conical second stage, where they're supposed to be protected during reentry by the rest of the heat shield that occupies the bottom of the capsular second stage.
>>17076309I mean Terran R
>>17076201>leaving democrat state for republican state>republican state now votes DemocratCan't wait for the mid terms it's going to be so funny
>>17076246>Fri)14:35:16Try canned air. Do you see a 60ft plume of white vapon? No. Now stop.
>>17076310Terran R is packing a pretty crazy number of engines for a rocket its size and it doesn't have a particularly compact powerhead relative to other clustered rockets.
>>17076317That's nowhere near enough of a pressure dropProof: canned air doesn't come in a COPV
>>17076321>nowhere near enough of a pressure dropWhat difference would that make
>>17076317>EDS schizo revealed his timezoneThanks, fag.
>>17075890>10,000PSI COPV> Installed ten centimetres behind your headWhat could go wrong
>>1707630830 years ago they were riding around on bicycles, now they have caught up to almost every technological moat that the west was ahead on.
>>17076331And?
>>17076331>Extrapolation>>17076334He thinks China will invent ASI and nuclear fusion in 5 years, genetics and cybernetics in 10, complete solar system colonization in 50 and type II civilization in 100
>>17076334>And?Idk bro if you think another civ (no Jews parasitising this one) catching up is good then lol
>China has 20x the number of rocket companies than us>discounting starlink, China sends up more tonnage of useful satellites than the US since 2021Let that sink in.
>>17076352>Discounting the thing that makes up the enormously vast majority of payloads and payload mass put into space, ranging from everything from commercial communications to military communications with hosted payloads, China is ahead!
>>17076305strange... im not seeing this news being angrily paraded about on reddit
>>17076355It is a problem, actually. People who want to launch shit are screaming because there is no capacity since starlink launches hog all of Falcon 9. If your payload doesn’t fit in a F9 fairing or requires more performance than a F9 can provide, there are also zero options. Not to mention F9 is being sunsetted soon and they are just praying starship will be working. This will exacerbate the problem even further as absolutely every starship launch will be full of starlinks and nothing else. All your eggs in one basket sucks, actually.
>>17076357This is a genuinely impressive collection of gross mischaracterizations.>Just praying it worksNo>Zero optionsWhat is New GlennWhat is Terran RWhat is NeutronWhat is VulcanWhat is NovaYeah, some of these are a few years out, others are having teething troubles. Falcon 9 not being available is hardly the end of launch, it just so happens to have set the gold standard for launch rate and reliability.
>>17076352China is also made up mostly of the Chinese, let that sink in.
>>17076357Why are you here if you don't know literally anything about spaceflight
>>17076324>What difference would that makeNot him, but when you compress a gas it heats up, and when you decompress it, it cools down (that's how your refrigerator works)The bigger the pressure drop, the more it'll cool down, and when gas cools down enough it condenses and become visible
>>17076360>New GlennBusy exploding on the pad, when operational will be Bezos dedicated kuiper bus just like how f9 is dedicated starlink bus>Terran Rlol lmao even>NeutronHasn’t even launched once yet >VulcanThat will be half a billion dollars for your once a year launch saar>NovaHasn’t even launched once yet>>17076362Definitely been here longer than you newfag
>450 launches is only 2 launches per day in starbasewhat the heck
>>17076168okay this is pretty funny, ngl
>>17076274none. These are all stunt features for rich supercar enthusiasts. Single use, long recharge. The more practical ones (downforce fans, body panel geometry) are just for the ideal surface conditions of a racetrack or highway.
I feel sorry for space X chuds, imagine being a very smart person and working for Elon Musrat
>>17076410its either elon, bezos, nasa, or some shithole
Does /sfg/ favor the Verne Gun from Longshot, or the centrifugal system from Spinlaunch?https://youtu.be/EOeL6xGtjRQ?is=TEucrI9fJsCQ9XDvhttps://youtu.be/Z6esOcWrrEE?is=sQ5bJFR3UNbqbUh9
>>17076419not spaceflight
>>17076419Only one of those is even theoretically viable.
>>17076419Why not combine them
>>17076429>mass drivers are not spaceflightDoes /sfg/ discussion really need to be so narrow to specifically encompass only chemical rocketry, and narrowed down even further to a few specific companies?
For me, it's Auriga Spacehttps://youtube.com/shorts/Z8Zd6TIWwqw?is=f2ShoztV0rlZh4WP
>>17076440Please understand, he's autistic. Like that one kid who told a joke people laughed at once now that's the only thing he talks about
>>17076357Maybe make a payload that's more useful than a starlink satellite
>>17076317>Fri)14:35:16Hawaii fag detectedI bet you're one of the astronomers seething up on the top of Mauna KeaKeck Observatory more like Cuck Observatory
>>17076357>If your payload doesn’t fit in a F9 fairing or requires more performance than a F9 can provideSounds like a problem with your payload.
>>17076419not really viable to launch anything from Earththat said, they might be useful to launch materials from dwarf planets and moons to their orbit where it can get picked up by tugs with more efficient enginesYou could for example fling unlimited ice from Callisto or Enceladus using hydrogen-oxygen gas gun
>>17076330in the rocket version there is one behind and one double the size on the seat next to you (well, in place of the seat)
>>17076075>It's heavier than that but it's not really a car either>drives at 200 mph on four wheels>not a carfuck off, retard
>>17076155if only there was existing technology that allowed for slowing an automobile, especially when combined with massive downforce
Guys, this could be badWe lost Mexico
>>17076169actually, two tons spread out over the entire horizontal cross section of the entire car is only about 0.4 PSIso nothing would fucking happen
>>17076204unlike your post, which is about spaceflight?kill yourself
>>17076495The prop doesn't go 200 mph at any point.
>>17076349What's so bad with China catching up?And don't give me CIA propaganda lines.
>>17076497Don't they have more important issues?
>>17076501I mean this seriously: kill yourself, you fucking retardtake your schizo conspiracy theories with you
>>17076504Are you ok? Like do you not have object permanence or what's the issue?
>>17076497it's so interesting how these astroturfed protests instantly get coverage.
>>17075856Falling with style
>>17075996>>17075998It's being used a testbed for lunar rover technology ya'll
>>17075844Why does the rocket plume look like it is way too small and with no velocity? It looks woefully inadequate to match the movements of the vehicle?
>>17076515its not hovering
>>17076515Because it's not a combustion plume, and those ones are only to roll the vehicle
>>17076502>what's so bad about the bugman mass surveillance dictatorship catching upi mean, if you're a demoralized loser who wants to burn everything to the ground because he can't get his dick wet, i'm sure betraying your country in favour of china sounds great.that is, until you remember that traitors always get shot first, both by the enemy and the country they're betraying, because demoralized loser traitors basically instantly lose any value as soon as they are done betraying.>inb4 b-but flock camera'snotice how you're actually allowed to talk about them negatively without getting dissapeared and people are actively fighting agains their implementation? yeah, you can't do that in china, matter of fact, in these dictatorial shitholes you need to walk a tightrope of apathy, you're not allowed to be too patriotic or caring for your country either, you'll also get dissapeared, or at least turned into a persona non grata.
>>17076062To own the cholos at the lowrider meet ese
>>17076515do you...not know what a cold gas thruster is?are you retarded?are you new to /sfg/?
>>17076516>>17076517Even on the landing from the ramp drop it looks like a stage prop on wires with CO2 nozzles for show. At no point does the plume look even remotely sufficient for the size of the object and deceleration
>>17076522Argument from personal inexperience
>>17076522Looks like enough gas to mehttps://www.instagram.com/reel/DekW35Wzgbn/?psln=MWN1ZmR3b2c5NDYzMw==
>>17076515Because one is big and the other is small and because one is using cold gas while the other is using monopropellants. The drone really did do those leaps "legit", it's just not a car.
>>17076525>Not a carThe ballistic missile interceptor isn't, but you'll have to make an excellent case why the other one is not.
>>17076529Well because it has the same "car" features as this, except it can't actually fly.
>>17076531A full size human driver is capable of sitting inside of and controlling the vehicle from within. A human can't ride an RC car of that scale nor control it with onboard controls from within.
>>17076535>A full size human driver is capable of sitting inside of and controlling the vehicle from within.That's not possible with the prop, nor would it actually be safe or legal to do so if they actually made some room and arranged a seat for the purpose. I don't think that qualifies a vehicle as a car in my book.
>>17076536>It stops being a car if the government says it's not road legal
>>17076537That's not what I said but that's yet another point for it not actually being a car. Words do have meaning and for instance a tractor isn't a car because government says so.

so good you had to post it twice
>>17076547I'm fine, thanks.Kill yourself. I don't care if you're genuinely retarded or trolling.
>>17076538And you haven't actually pointed to anything that the Roadster doesn't do that a Real Car does. This is just the No True Scottsman fallacy.
>>17075998> The more practical ones (downforce fans, body panel geometry) are just for the ideal surface conditions of a racetrack or highway.Likely no, that stuff is usually banned on most tracks/races since the effect is so easily broken by even the slightest of disturbances and will quickly cause a loss of control. I don't even want to imagine that shit when a pothole comes into play.
>>17076497Mexico IS a dumping ground
>>17076550Yes I have. Do you have reading comprehension issues? >>17076553That's more to do with how people push their cars on races. If you design your racing line to take advantage of downforce and it goes away then that's going to cause an accident. If you are otherwise driving in a legal manner on public roads then downforce fans aren't inherently bad. At worst it merely downgrades you to a a regular car which is supposed to survive the trip without accidents. Like you use these and it gives you extra grip when exiting red lights for instance, if you lose pressure it's just going to make you accelerate slower or what ever. Downforce fans are "generally" street legal tech for this reason. They still have to meet other safety guidelines like not being load as shit but the tech itself is viable enough. "Plenty" of supercars have these. The primary problem with fans is that they are kinda worthless feature for almost everyone hence why they are relegated to the supercar territory, you can masturbate how good your car would accelerate but you can't actually floor it on public roads which is usually the entire sales point of a supercar.
>>17076518Before making space an "us vs them" matter, I would like to first have a desirable and functional "us", thank you.This isn't the first space race, where you could still leverage the vestigial remnants of a common identity and shared goal across a couple of continents. Honestly, seeing this rhetoric applied to our current conditions is even more of a demoralization tool than the Chinese bragging about their achievements.(take note, in order to pursue the reconstruction of a vague baseline of desirability for your preferred collective identity, your place is currently not on /sci/)

starfall
>>17076566>but you can't actually floor it on public roads which is usually the entire sales point of a supercarWell, it hasn't stopped people doing it. They are just selective when to do it or go canyon carving or whatever. Problem with the Roadster, in whatever form it takes in the end, is a $200K+ minimum halo car competing in a segment without the badge branding power since Tesla mostly sells econoboxes. Especially when this really high end segment has been moving slowly away from the tech-focus and back to old-school as the trend. Manual transmissions, smaller screens, etc. Tesla is probably better served revamping the Model S and X rather than the Roadster to compete against the SU7 and the upcoming M3 for filling that $80K to $100K range gap.

>>17076586you're already doing that for us>china will go largerthey shrunk away the moment the US prevented them from finding a simple passenger jet with pelosi on it.
>>17076602Oh the roadster will be a guaranteed overpriced junk. I'm just saying that the downforce fans are probably the only realistically road legal feature. I don't think they will even deliver on those if/when the roadster even ever goes on sale, chances are in the few years they will come to their senses how stupid of an idea it is to include a downforce fan on an EV. The problems with the fans aren't the legality. It's the stupidity.>>17076613So is this then.>>17076531And it actually flies lmao

>it is a real carOf course it's a real car. They demonstrated a prototype.The funny part is that Tesla's own reservation agreement says the vehicle is still under development and they cannot guarantee it will ever be delivered. They're taking deposits for a product whose existence as a purchasable vehicle is explicitly not guaranteed.The prototype is real. The production car is a promise. The $250k deposit is real.Hope this helps.

So they set up schools and sent missionaries. In response, Chinese thanked them by looting and burning schools and killing Westerners.Similar thing happened in Manchuria, Japanese built the infrastructure, but the Chinese kept attacking and killing Japanese people so at some point Japanese have had enough and took over the whole region. But in the US Japanese were painted as evil imperialists and Chinese as poor dindu nuffins.

i feel like the COPV is a red herring.if you are crashing the roadster at a speed high enough to trigger that COPV to blow up rather than just be punctured, you are not surviving the impact period, so it makes no difference to the surviveability of the car.

The CC 8800-1 has a very complex counterweight system and works nothing like how he described. If the pins sheered, the derrick would have been ripped down by the pendant bars that attach from its tip to the weights. Which would have in turn ripped the entire main boom apart since the derrick is also connected to that. And overload? Lmao no. These picks the crane is doing is nothing for it. And the table being a multi crane lift- theres 0 chance in hell it ever came close to overload. Not to mention the operators of these large cranes are *very* strict and skilled. They would never do a lift if it was going to overload. This dude is just making shit up. For once my crane tism came in handy lmao
