Subject: [AR] Tesla Thruster Specs?
Tesla appears to be planning some sort of cold gas thruster option for their
new roadster model.
. See https://insideevs.com/news/350682/tesla-roadster-spacex-thrusters/ for
example.
. but I can't find anything definitive about what these thrusters are
planned to look like. On one car enthusiast Facebook group I subscribe to,
someone was claiming that Tesla was planning to put ten 400 lb thrusters
around the vehicle which would be capable of firing for 90 seconds, which
sounds silly just thinking about the mass of nitrogen required.
Does anyone here have any information/informed-speculation they could share
about these potential Tesla thrusters?
Thanks,
Robert
