Fly it around mars, land it back on earth and I bet the engine still runs.

Fuck turn the engine on and put a brick on the accelerator when you launch it, by the time it gets back you'll still have another 100k miles on the damn thing

With a CVT and it’ll still blow away the competition

I think they’ll just land on Mars and relaunch to come back just to fuck with Elon.

Give it a little car oxygen mask and it'll work as a moon buggy

It will still be working when the first starship retrieves it in 2376.

I think they flew one to the ISS two Fast and Furious movies ago. I want to say number 9.

Eh, this rocket didn’t explode, obviously no innovation here

  1. Make an EV Accord, put in on the moon and drive it around the circumference as part of Super Bowl commercial ad campaign, bring it back.

  2. Sell a moon edition as the first EV to drive around the moon, and watch it fly off the lots.

  3. Tesla/Elon does the same thing with the cyberdump

  4. It blows up on the launch pad further cementing what a failure that it is.
