In 1.1 seconds, with a tap, you accelerate from a standstill to 100km/h, your body is 15 meters away from you, and your back feels 2.5g, isn't that great? If you're a marathon runner, that's a challenge. In this process, you must maintain a clear mind and good physical fitness, otherwise you may cause muscle strain due to overwork. I hope your neck doesn't flicker.
This is not a dream, nor is it a rocket into space, but an impending reality. Anyone riding Tesla's latest sports car, plus the SpaceX kit, can experience a similar acceleration g-value as an astronaut.
You may remember two rockets falling from the sky and landing on the launch site almost simultaneously, spewing out huge clouds of dust. You're right, this is a scene from the science fiction movie "Interstellar". But in fact, this is just a science fiction plot. In the past 10 years, humans have successfully completed 3 spaceflight missions, two of which are related to rockets. That was the first launch of Musk's Space Falcon Heavy rocket. When the booster landed, it was the first time we saw a scene from science fiction, and the only payload at launch was Musk's own cherry red Roadster sports car, which now has an extra-Martian asteroid belt in orbit near Mars.
It has to be said that this is the idea of an idealist and adventurer, when Musk broke the boat and ambitiously declared that the next step will be to install 10 small rockets on the sports car to make the Tesla sports car really "fly".
Three years later, the upgraded Tesla Roadster sports car caught many off guard because they forgot the Falcon Heavy rocket, sports car and Musk's promise to make the Tesla Roadster fly.
The new Tesla Roadster is on display at the Peterson Automotive Museum. According to the official announcement, it has the same shape design as the traditional model, but uses a new technology: carbon fiber composite material manufacturing, and equipped with a reusable engine. The supercar has a maximum speed of 120 km/h and a maximum speed of 140 km/h. The base version of 0-60 miles, that is, the acceleration of 0-100km will be completed in 1.9 seconds, plus the spaceX kit's cold gas thruster (a small rocket thruster), the 100-kilometer acceleration takes only 1.1 seconds, faster than any production sports car, just one step away from the rocket hybrid BloodhoundSSC (1.0 seconds) and the nitromethane-fueled NHRATopFuel Dragsters (0.8 seconds).
Now, cars with an average speed of more than 100km/h have only a 0.4g pushback sensation in 7 seconds, so 2.5g is more than twice as fast as you jumped from a height, and you're strapped with a few rockets, spitfires – it's just that the spouts didn't go down, they went up!
Musk also confirmed the news on Twitter, saying the car is safe but has a strong sense of acceleration with the addition of the SpaceX Rocket Thruster Option Pack. This is reminiscent of the plot of the movie Avatar: If you were a doctor or a pilot, would you choose to fly on the space shuttle? Or do you choose to drive a car? The answer is no, because it's just a dream. This may not be wise for those with health problems, like a roller coaster ride.
Tesla's next-generation Roadster is priced at 2020 in the United States, with a range of 1,000 kilometers, a 0-160 km acceleration time of 4.2 seconds, and a top speed of more than 400 km/h.
Of course, the acceleration of 2.5g is slightly shorter than the time required for 3G astronauts. But for ordinary people, it is still very safe. The car, while a little faster, is definitely not slower than the hottest car right now. This is the Tesla Ro Adstone, a crazy model. But there's certainly enough for many people to drink, especially anyone with the money or the opportunity to ride the Tesla Roadster, to enjoy the kind of acceleration that can only be enjoyed in space, and the trepidation and nervousness that astronauts experience during the rocket launch phase, so imagine the internet commotion that such a sports car would cause.
But the acceleration is also very fast, it's all about racing athletes, so the average person will still have some difficulties when driving, and there may be more debate about Tesla in the future.
