The new Tesla Roadster accelerates faster than a fighter jet taking off from an aircraft carrier
The new Tesla Roadster produces more thrust than an F-16 fighter jet at military power
Roadster Thrust augment:
>80 kN (~18,000 lbf)
F-16 with F100-PW-229:
~79.2 kN (~17,800 lbf) without afterburner
Tesla packed enough cold-gas thrust into a car that exceeds the non-afterburning thrust of an F-16 engine
With afterburner, the F-16 exceeds at ~130 kN
But the fact this comparison even exists is insane
Tesla just pushed automotive engineering deep into aerospace territory

1995: Elon Musk is replacing a broken side window himself with parts from a junkyard because he couldnโt afford repairs.
2026: Built a flying Tesla Roadster and turned science fiction into reality.

BREAKING: Southwest Airlines now has 47 aircraft equipped with Starlink, with its entire fleet expected to be connected by fall 2027.
Southwestโs Chief Customer and Brand Officer Tony Roach praised @Starlink:
โThe response weโve gotten from customers flying on Starlink aircraft has been overwhelmingly positive, so our mission is, letโs get it out to everybody quickly.โ

The slowest version of the new @Tesla Roadster (<1.6s to 0-60 mph) will be quicker than the current quickest version of the all-electric $2.5 million Rimac Nevera R (1.66s).
The fastest trim of the Tesla Roadster (rocket trim) will be capable of 0-60 mph in ~0.59 seconds.
Future fun Roadster demos will include flying over the Snake River or maybe Grand Canyon and landing on its wheels and exceeding half the speed of sound

I like the Model S.
I like the Model 3.
I like the Model X.
I like the Model Y.
But good lord, you are the S3XYโest thing Iโve ever seen.
And I swear, if loving you is wrong, I donโt ever want to be fuckin right.

BREAKING: Elon Musk just unveiled the all-new Tesla Roadster, and itโs ๐ฅ
Roadster is a true pilot's car: active aerodynamics, a multi-mode suction system & cold-gas thrusters
Exterior
โ Concealed headlights, full-length taillight & flush-mounted surfaces for a minimalist, highly technical form
โ Super light wheels w/ thin spokes that reinforce structural strength when earthbound
โ Ano White paint brings an aerospace-derived finish w/ UV & cryogenic protection, electrostatic dissipation & corrosion resistance
โ Gold Glazed tinted glass mimicking the copper coating of spacesuit visors, w/ subtle titanium accents
