- Tesla Roadster SpaceX thruster package
- Cold gas thrusters physics
- Vehicle acceleration and weight estimation
- Rocket math and specific impulse
- Tire grip limits vs thruster force
What it concludes
- The target weight for the Tesla Roadster with the thruster package is estimated at 2,000 kg.
- The composite overwrap pressure vessel can provide a wheel force of 28,170 Newtons.
- Using cold gas thrusters, the Roadster could theoretically achieve a 0-60 mph time of 1.1 seconds under specific assumptions.
- To store enough air for 5 seconds of boost, approximately 300 pounds of air would be required on board.
- The Porsche GT2 RS has a 60-0 mph stopping distance of 87 feet or 27 meters.
