@interestingentrepreneurs: Tesla Roadster with rocket thrusters? Elon Musk actually said he was serious. During a conversation with Jay Leno, Elon Musk described a wild idea for the next-generation Tesla Roadster: SpaceX-inspired rocket thruster hidden behind the rear license plate. The concept is straight out of a James Bond movie. When the car needs extreme acceleration, the license plate would drop and reveal the thruster behind it. Jay Leno even admitted he couldn't tell when Elon was joking and when he was serious. Musk's answer? He was serious. The proposed SpaceX package has been described as using small cold-gas thrusters to enhance acceleration, braking, cornering and overall performance. Musk has also previously teased the possibility of the Roadster doing things that sound more like aerospace engineering than traditional automotive design. If Tesla actually delivers this technology, the Roadster could be one of the most futuristic production cars ever imagined. A Tesla with a rocket hidden behind the license plate… this is literally full-on James Bond. Would you actually trust a rocket-powered Tesla on the road? #Tesla #TeslaRoadster #ElonMusk #car #SpaceX
