  Elon is an idiot that barely thinks about any functionality. For him if something looks cool and scifi, it is a good enough reason to implement it (like the self hiding door handles).

    It’s a stunt to impress your average Tesla investor.

  That’s the worst idea for a car ever, the cibertruck can’t survive a carwash and you are telling me you are going to do Car kickflicks?

    It might be impractical, but I saw this and thought of the safety features. If you’re in an accident and the car is uncontrollably rolling then these thrusters could bring it to an upright stop.

      The extremely dangerous high pressure vessel right behind the driver’s head seems like it’s not worth the trade off there… Better carry a bomb around just in case the car rolls over. /s

      Yeah, fuck everything beneath it, right?

      Nascar manages to do that without thrusters.

  Do bottle caps have any significant impact on carbon emissions?
  I’m pretty sure it’s more about plastic waste littering the environment. Carbon emissions are not the only environmental issue.

      Yeah, but not really in this case.

  pretty sure it’s propelled by compressed air.

  still very wasteful, but at least not burning dangerous chemicals for funsies.

    Yeah just compressed nitrogen, but still very wasteful and excessive and stupid. That’s enough. No one said it was putting out toxins.

    I heard it’s nitrogen, which I think releases co² during the production process. You’re right though, could be worse; they could’ve used hypergolic thrusters.

      Do you mean nitrous (N~2~O)? Straight up N~2~ shouldn’t be changing to CO~2~ unless some very interesting chemistry is happening, haha.
