> cutting nessesities to save a few dollars more than anything else has ruled out 2024 model Tesla's It turns out that not all lessons from building rockets make sense with a car. Trimming weight is a huge benefit in rocket design. The less weight the rocket has, the more fuel it can carry, and this mass ratio has a non-linear effect on how much, how far can you carry. Rocket failure is a part of life which you just accept and can iterate. But mass ratio just doesn't have the same importance for cars. Safety, reliability, usability are kings. Few kilograms extra are unimportant. The recent Cybertruck's accelerator pedal issue was quite illustrative there.
