Musk wrote that the demo will be a 'BANGER,' probably figuratively, though with some chance of being literal. The outlet links that remark to a cold gas thruster system, reportedly codenamed A71 and tied to a SpaceX option package since 2018; there is no official Tesla confirmation on that point.

- Tesla streams the Roadster unveil today at 7:55 p.m. Central on X.
- Official 2017 figures: 620 miles of range, 0-60 mph in 1.9 seconds.
🔎 Why it matters: The Roadster unveil will cover pricing, specifications and production targets, but the literal 'bang' interpretation (A71 cold gas thruster system) has no official Tesla confirmation.
📈 Upside: Tesla said the event will cover pricing, specifications and production targets for the Roadster.
📉 Risk: If the 'bang' is literal, cold gas thrusters at full power on stage could fail live; Tesla has not confirmed the system.
