Yes, confident none of this belongs in a budget car. It’s not even useful in the roadster, it’s a gimmick, not flying but falling in a controlled way.

Nice pedantry on the thrusters in air, but I imagine the software here to orient the car quickly using thrusters was borrowed from spacex, the thrusters certainly were.

Again, none of this has a practical application - it’s like the flamethrowers- Elon thought it would be cool, so they made it.
