Will the new Tesla Roadster have rockets providing propulsion (not extra grip) for additional acceleration?

  • Update 2025-07-01 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): The market will resolve YES if the rockets provide a significant and not negligible horizontal force for propulsion. The presence of a vertical force component (for grip) will not, on its own, cause a NO resolution.

Just to clarify, this would mean that the (rumoured) cold gas thrusters would have to provide forward momentum instead of just a vertical force?

So the resolution criterion would be something like ā€œthe vector of the force applied is not purely vertical, but has a horizontal componentā€œ? But it would still resolve YES presumably if the vector is angled in an in-between position, providing both grip and thrust?

The most likely implementation is obviously having thrusters angled in between purely horizontal or vertical. So not a binary situation. Would it resolve NO if itā€˜s ā€œnot just propulsionā€œ, i.e. it has any vertical component, or YES if itā€˜s ā€œnot just gripā€œ, i.e. has any horizontal component?

(Presumably something like ā€œmost of the force is for thrust/gripā€œ is really hard to pin down, since that will be context-dependent.)

@JonathanMannhart I guess singiciant horizonatl force, not just negligible, but yes.
