Unless they're planning to use graphene for the batteries, it's all bs.. And even there, we never heard of a Tesla & Samsung ( leader in graphene tech at the moment) partnership..

RE: weight of sports cars- the Nissan 350z/370z, the bulbous 2-door sports Nissans, weighed almost 2 tons iirc. But yeah, when you’re fighting the battery, its weight, and charge…you’ve got issues. Also, I’m fairly certain the “Z” was bigger than that roadster.

The only ones who didn't even talk much about their car going quick from 0-60 and are capable of doing 250 in a full electric car are Rimac and they delivered. Guess the price and production units... well, not for everyone. Elon at this point is just lying as much as he can to sound believable because with so many Elon dick riders he can't fail... for now...
@robertmsoares Says:
Wow!
The comparison between NASA's doctrine of "Failure is not an option" and the Starship clearing the pad as success to Tesla made me think that maybe capitalism is really over. This is something else.

Is it just me or does anyone else suspect plants in the crowd?
Most normal people wouldnt hoot and holler at an event like this, and some of the background people are shaking their heads no with their hands up in surprise, almost similar to, "no i dont get it, why is everyone yelling and cheering so much"
And ive been to smaller sales pitch meetings where they had planted people who worked for them in the crowd, would not shock me if it came out employees were in the crowds. Not to mention it only takes a couple to get everyone else feeling comfortable enough to also join in the comradery

@zebrahunter6956 Says:
I knew right away from Engineering Explained this was nonsense. The Dodge Challenger Demon was limited by Governor to ~150 mph, because the special rubber used in the tires to accomplish it's absurd 1/4 mile time and speed cannot handle velocities faster than that.
The tire company told Dodge that you can either get the new record 0-60, or have a really high top speed, but not both.
There is no way he was gonna top both the Demon's acceleration AND velocity
Edit: also, conveniently, he announced the Roadster *after* the Demon's numbers were published
@robla85g18 Says:
That stuff at the end about ventilators is just beggars belief. I mean the semi is just more of his usual bs but the ventilators is shocking. Talking incorrectly about a field he has no knowledge of when he has thousands of people hanging on his every word, absolutely shameful.

Despite the delays in production of ROADSTER and CyberTruck, Elon is likely telling the truth when he says he knows more about manufacturing than anyone on Earth. I am NOT a fan boy of Elon Musk, but he HAS gone FAR beyond any U.S. Auto manufacturer in terms of technology advancement.
@kryts27 Says:
Musk has not developed anything new. Not even "autopilot". But that is not quite complete, he has developed one thing. How to announce a fantasy vehicle or project that has not been developed yet or is even on the drawing board. The Musk semi truck and the Cybertruck are the exceptions to this rule. Wonderful inventions (not). And for the longest time, investors have flocked to his Ponzi schemes. What a guy 😅

Then this clown just fired 14,000 people who built his company and made him a billionaire, on top of the people he fired from Twitter. There are no consequences for Elon Musk. This is called, "crony-capitalism."

@alanmichael5619 Says:
Whilst I absolutely agree with most of the criticism of Musk here: he is a con artist and his fans are absolutely insufferable.
But I think you're being disingenuous with the Falcon 9 vs Soyuz argument and with the Starship development.
The Soyuz was $25 million per seat, yes, but you haven't taken into account PPP. $1 in Russia has a higher purchasing power (it's about $2.32) - so it was the equivalent of $58 million.
When *Nasa* was paying Russia for seats on the Soyuz it was $56 million per seat. Once you take into account PPP that's more like $130 million.
Boeing's Starliner was going to be $345 million per seat.
It's also very different comparing a solution that has been around for 60 years to one that was developed in the last 10. The development costs on Soyuz are relatively negligible now - whereas Falcon 9 being a new solution was still effectively paying for its development cost.
So, yes, Falcon 9 *was* and *is* less expensive and SpaceX have absolutely outmanoeuvred most of NASA's suppliers. It has also absolutely splashed the safety record of the space shuttle now - with 92 successful launches in 2023 alone and a 100% success rate just 2023's launches beats the shuttle's record of 88 launches without failure.
And that's before we get onto the SLS whose first launch was 6 years late.
There are very good reasons why Falcon 9 is being chosen by so many countries and organisations to launch their projects into LEO.
Starship vs Apollo is also a bit of an odd comparison.
The Saturn V rockets cost $52 *b*illion each (inflation adjusted) - that's $17 billion per seat!
Each starship costs in the tens of millions rather than billions. Testing the rockets to destruction is actually quite a rapid form of development. They'd literally have to launch 650 of the things to reach the cost of a single Saturn V.
I do think that Starship is misguided - I'm honestly so confused as to why they didn't just continue iterating the Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy designs. The latter is probably already capable of what Starship's goals for the 2020s are. And starship has a lot of that "Elon Musk vanity project" stink to it. But I don't think comparing it to the apollo program is really all that useful? I'd say comparisons to Boeing's starliner or SLS are far closer to being comparable platforms.
