Bernd Kaiser wrote that Tesla presented its new Roadster at night, which according to his information can accelerate from 0 to 100 in less than a second. SpaceX cold gas engines would even allow the vehicle to take off. He compared this technological advancement in the USA to what he views as a lesser pace of innovation in Europe.
