Community theory: Roadster 2 could have a lunar use
Unconfirmed: A Reddit user proposes a theory about the Roadster 2's market, beyond the ultra-high-end supercar segment. According to the author, the widely publicized Tesla–SpaceX collaboration points to a lunar use: air nozzles would have little practical use on Earth but would be useful on a lunar rover. The argument rests on the Moon's weaker gravity, which requires much less thrust to hover and reach low orbit. It is community speculation, not an announcement from Tesla or SpaceX.
- Reddit user theory: Roadster 2 aimed at a lunar rover, not confirmed.
- According to the author, lunar gravity requires much less thrust to hover.
🔎 Why it matters: There is no official confirmation that the Roadster 2 is intended for the Moon; the thesis assumes its air nozzles would be useful on a lunar rover due to low gravity.
📈 Upside: It would give the air nozzles a practical use, which the author says they lack on Earth.
📉 Risk: The idea depends on two unverified assumptions: that the Roadster 2 includes those nozzles and that it has a lunar use.
