Elon Musk has been making headlines lately with multiple SpaceX rocket launches out of Earth’s orbit, but lest we forget, there are existing plans to equip the Tesla Roadster with SpaceX cold-gas thrusters, and Jason Fenske from YouTube channel Engineering Explained said it’s quite an achievable goal.
In his video, Fenske theorized that the Roadster will weigh roughly around 2,000 kg, a figure derived by applying Newton’s laws of motion. However, he stated that the production car could weigh much more if Tesla is serious about the 1,000-km range.
A sprint time of 1.1 seconds will make the Tesla Roadster the quickest accelerating production car on record, leaving the Aspark Owl (current fastest accelerating car in the world) in a trail of space dust. The Japanese hypercar’s official 0-60 mph sprint time is 1.69 seconds.
