"The new Tesla Roadster accelerates faster than a fighter jet taking off from an aircraft carrier

Quoting @XFreeze: “The new Tesla Roadster produces more thrust than an F-16 fighter jet at military power

Roadster Thrust augment:
>80 kN (~18,000 lbf)

F-16 with F100-PW-229:
~79.2 kN (~17,800 lbf) without afterburner

Tesla packed enough cold-gas thrust into a car that exceeds the non-afterburning thrust of an F-16 engine

With afterburner, the F-16 exceeds at ~130 kN

But the fact this comparison even exists is insane

Tesla just pushed automotive engineering deep into aerospace territory”"
