🚨 Tesla Roadster’s SpaceX Package: Cold Gas Thrusters for Ultimate Acceleration and Hovering

The Roadster’s cold gas thrusters are simple rocket thrusters that expel high-pressure compressed air through nozzles. There is no combustion or heat involved. The system stores ultra-high-pressure air at around 10,000 PSI in a composite tank that replaces the rear seats.

About 10 small thrusters are placed around the car. Rear thrusters provide extra forward acceleration, while side and other thrusters help with cornering, braking, and stability.

The package dramatically improves acceleration, braking, and handling. It can achieve 0-60 mph in under 1 second compared to the base Roadster’s roughly 1.9 seconds. It also enables short hops or brief assisted jumps, something that has been teased for years.

🚨 The Information is reporting this morning that Tesla is planning to showcase the Roadster’s cold gas thrusters at its unveiling event

That is a collaboration between Tesla and SpaceX

@rc135tx Many of my friends and family who have bought the same car or truck from the same manufacturer for decades are exploring alternative options for the first time. It seems like many automakers have lower quality standards

[TESLARATI @Teslarati]

🚨🚨 This is why you should by a Tesla, a car that consistently gets better over time.

When you buy a car, it’s as good as it’s going to get. Relatively no improvements are available from a software perspective.

Not a Tesla. After you buy it, it will always improve.

AMERICANS ARE KEEPING THEIR CARS LONGER, RESHAPING THE AUTO INDUSTRY

U.S. consumers are holding onto vehicles for longer periods due to high new-car prices, elevated interest rates, affordability concern: WSJ

@PetraTeslaLove @JoeTegtmeyer Legend!

[TESLARATI @Teslarati]

@F_15_Tony Competition is great! And from my experience, the more ride shares in Vegas, the better!

[TESLARATI @Teslarati]

We’d have to assume this means Tesla is targeting Las Vegas, and it’s a great move from a business perspective.

Vegas is such a melting pot of people from all around the country and the world. It will expose people from all corners of the globe to Tesla’s autonomy capabilities

Tesla has officially applied for an Autonomous Vehicle Network Company permit in Nevada.

Tesla is seeking approval for up to 5,000 robotaxis during the first 12 months after the permit is granted.

The filing covers Clark County (Las Vegas), including Harry Reid International Airport and Henderson Executive Airport, according to a new public notice from the Nevada Transport Authority.

[TESLARATI @Teslarati]

@UttamChauh84157 Exactly. People from everywhere will see Tesla, along with all the competitors, and be able to compare for themselves

[TESLARATI @Teslarati]

Oof, imagine Tesla Roadster in that classic green 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

[🇬🇧 FI is awesome 😎 @GrahamCompton]

@Teslarati Jaguar British racing green

[TESLARATI @Teslarati]

@GrahamCompton Beautiful car, would look great on the Roadster

[TESLARATI @Teslarati]

🎨 What colors would you like to see Tesla add to its repertoire in the future?

Here are some cool ones:

[TESLARATI @Teslarati]

🚨 Tesla now offers four shades of Blue:

Deep Blue
Marine Blue
Frost Blue
Coastal Blue

[TESLARATI @Teslarati]

@GigaTSLAFAN Some kind of purple would be great, but green would definitely be my pick

[TESLARATI @Teslarati]

@gregopad39 Hopefully anyone spending that kind of money on a car is fully aware of the power and capability it has.

But if you’re looking for safety, you shouldn’t buy it anyway

[TESLARATI @Teslarati]

Keep in mind: VP of Vehicle Engineering Lars Moravy also stated things would be going on at Giga Texas in the near future that would indicate Roadster is on its way

Now we have Franz saying it might be here in a few weeks.

Hopefully, this is it

[TESLARATI @Teslarati]

🚨 Tesla Chief Designer Franz Von Holzhausen, speaking to the crowd at Tesla Takeover Europe, said at the event that the Roadster is coming “in a few weeks,”

Multiple attendees have confirmed this

[TESLARATI @Teslarati]

@elonmusk But you had a team, and it turned into something amazing.

[TESLARATI @Teslarati]

@JackBravo365 We hope it’s soon; we share your frustration

🚨 What cars led you to your Tesla? I’ll go first:

1998 VW Jetta K2 > 2002 Ford Taurus SE > 2008 Ford Escape Hybrid > 2019 Honda Civic > 2021 Ford Bronco Sport > 2026 Tesla Model Y Premium AWD

[TESLARATI @Teslarati]

@tregan01 @teslascope Awesome! Let us know what you think

[TESLARATI @Teslarati]

@csharpgen It’s gotta be one of my favorite parts of the car. It definitely isn’t great for the summers but to me it’s worth the range loss to run the AC so hard to cool it down before I get in it

[TESLARATI @Teslarati]

We started a pretty cool dialogue among the community yesterday regarding Cabin Overheat Protection.

If you don't use it, let us know why below and what your alternative is!
