I did not see it live. Not before now I realised that it was no joke and no fake that the car is in space, but that it is real.
I'm laughing, else I am speechless.

I'm laughing, else I am speechless. Bought myself an ebike yesterday. That was my personal car-in-space moment, so to speak.

The car batteries were removed prior to launch. They were not rated for space and may leak, or if there was an explosion, spread battery goo all over South Florida.

BTW, am I alone in wondering if Elon Musk might try to make new mileage claims for this Tesla model, you know "Yes, the Tesla Roadster get at least 33.9 million miles per charge!"... <O>
