Tesla And Space X Ramp Up Technology Sharing In The Future

Tesla and SpaceX are ramping up their synergy effort with workers moving between Elon Musk’s two companies, battery purchases, and more.

Musk has previously noted that while it’s hard and time-consuming to run two massive multi-billion-dollar companies with thousands of employees in two completely different sectors, he has found some positives, like opportunities for synergy between them.

That's like saying Chevy and Buick will share more.

Chevy and Buick are in the same industry. Otherwise another great comment by you!

Tesla and SpaceX are Musk so for all intents and purposes....

The use of cold gas thrusters on the upcoming Roadster sounds cool but I think their work on advanced alloys is more interesting.

Sandy Munro and his team recently did a teardown of the Model Y and they discovered that Tesla is using alloys in its construction that they've never seen before.

Well, the SpaceX SN4 rocket exploded into a billion pieces during a test today, so maybe that's not a good idea.

They're building a prototype every month, it's a rapid development process. Hoping SN5 will do better. If it was NASA or Boeing it will take 5 years to get a working prototype. An agile process with 2 competing teams will probably cut it down to 2-3 years, but a lot of rockets will be blown up in the process.

It was the plumbing under the rocket, so better avoid vehicles with explosive liquids in them...
