Daniel wrote that Tesla unveiled a new Roadster, which during the presentation was supposed to take off from a ramp using cold gas engines, fly over other cars, spin in the air, and land. According to his account, during the presentation, acceleration from 0 to 60 mph was shown to take 0.81 seconds, and later Tesla published data indicating that the Rocket version is expected to achieve this in less than 0.59 seconds. Daniel stated that the Roadster is to be offered in three configurations: a two-seater Performance, a two-seater Thrust with additional cold gas engines at the rear, and a one-seater Rocket, whose engines are supposed to enable upward movement and aerial rotation. According to Daniel, acceleration to 60 mph is expected to be less than 1.6 seconds for the Performance and less than 0.9 seconds for the Thrust. He also mentioned that the car would have a range exceeding 300 miles, and the Rocket would reach a top speed of over 230 mph. Daniel also described active aerodynamics, a system for sucking the car to the surface, steer-by-wire control, and a construction using magnesium, titanium, and carbon fiber. He wrote that Tesla showed how the downforce system allowed the car to stay on its wheels even while stationary, and the cold gas engines were supposed to stabilize it during flight. The design of the Roadster was said to be inspired by SR-71 and F-35 airplanes. According to Daniel, the Performance is to be road-legal, the Thrust will be produced in a limited series, and the Rocket will be available by invitation only and will not be allowed on public roads. He wrote that reservations in Poland have already started: the initial payment is to be 22,000 PLN, and another 190,000 PLN must be paid within 10 days. The first payment is refundable until the remaining amount is paid. Daniel stated that production is scheduled to start in 2028, and Elon Musk referred to the Roadster as a "rocket car." #Tesla #Roadster #innowacje (translated)

Mateusz Lachowski wrote that the new Starlink restrictions were disrupting the operation of the military version of Starshield terminals when moving at speeds above about 160 km/h, and according to the latest information, the limit has been lowered to 60-70 km/h. He reported that the issue was brought to attention by volunteer Serhij Sternenko and an advisor to the President of Ukraine, Serhij Beskrestnow. The latter was said to have stated that the Ukrainian military had not been warned in advance, and some drone operators' missions had already failed. Lachowski described the situation as particularly serious for soldiers, including in Sloviansk. The author assessed that the restrictions could have been motivated by politics. He wrote that before the Congressional elections, Donald Trump pressured Kyiv while the US was waging war with Iran, which was driving up energy prices in global markets. He added that Russia supported Iran, and Trump tried to reach an agreement with Moscow while simultaneously pressuring Ukraine. Lachowski also wrote that the approaching winter could determine the outcome of the war, and a key partner of Ukraine had stopped warning Kyiv about incoming ballistic missiles. According to him, civilians were dying, and when Trump was asked about it, he spoke of the ballroom in the White House. The author pointed out that the Starlink restrictions posed an additional problem for defense at the front and expressed concern that another step from Washington could once again please Moscow. #Ukraina #Starlink #Polityka (translated)
