Fastest car ever!

Hope he's planned for visiting aliens hanging out of the car chucking wheelies down Route 66

That was probably the most expensive publicity stunt of all time, but good luck to him. The twin booster landings were impressive. Too bad the main rocket ran out of fuel. I am sure they will get it right soon.

The things billionaires do to have fun.  :-?

The 2008 telsas would be toxic landfill , better to send it into space

what are the rest of the miserable Billionaires doing???

sticking their noses into Politics and trying to run the WORLD...

**** off and do something useful you bloated self-interested arsewipes...  >:(

Sorry Mech

I think behind all this it's just a publicity stunt

and he's a total scammer.

Good grief he's helping Sth Australia back into the dark ages regarding their power supply.

And nothing is ever for "free".

if this doesn't blow your mind then you are dead..

New rocket designs have always been test fired with a deadload.

An amazing achievement. I can't believe the people poo pooing it   ::) ::)

2 boosters landed like ballerinas.  Shame about the centre core but losing that is nothing compared to the achievement and what it represents to the future.

Aussie's hover taxi?

Imagine in when ET arrives and we are gone and floating in space or crashed on a planet is a car with a dummy person sitting there.

They would wonder "WTF?". "These people were crazy."

Amazing stunt.... Mars here we come.

The first time I saw those rocket boosters land I thought I was watching the thunderbirds, far out man!
Elon's Starman is apparently now out of control and heading for the asteroid belt, godspeed Starman.

I completely agree. If people are searching for a more practical benefit from this stunt, they should know that Musk has done this for 10% of the estimated cost that NASA will require for its latest launch.

TEN TIMES cheaper than NASA - that's exciting.

In real time ;)

How many clunkers would still work in a vacuum ;)

Those booster landings were incredible. Stuff the car in space, the synchronised landings of separate boosters on target was magic.

Thunderbirds are go! The landing on a moving target in the ocean was no less cool.

Is Musk, Cochrane? ;D

Good PR I guess but he needs to address the fundamentals of his cars.

They are way over priced and the performance is OTT who needs to get to 100KPH in 4 seconds ?

I know one guy worth around $100 million who even baulked at buying a Tesla.

Even at the very high prices the Tesla's still make a loss.

Other players are also entering this field with both faster and cheaper options ....... I can see it all ending in tears for Tesla.

If he'd just made a golf buggy you lot would be telling everyone how you could buy a Toyota Yaris cheaper so he started at the other end of the spectrum to show what the technology could do and he can't sell enough of them !!

Elon, or his company at least, is haemorrhaging money. If his stocks go down it might be over, leaving  Leftwinger nothing to do but masturbate furiously about right wing big oil conspiracies.  ;D

OK jumping into extremes why not make one at 40-60k with reasonable performance ?

He can't keep his production up the cars are of poor build quality and at the high prices he is making a loss.

Industry experts are predicting he will crash and burn but time will tell.

Before bleating rubbish you need to think about what kind of cars people are buying and at what price. There are other players building more practical cars and even faster one the guy has competition !
