Surge pricing must be a bitch on this one.
Elon Musk is like a real life Willy Wonka
Nonsense. Uber would never let you drive a convertible...

Waste of a perfectly good roadster. Oh well. maybe the aliens can take it for a spin.
There are a few other people on this planet that I wouldn't have minded sending up with starman... two bad it's only a two seater huh.
Tesla Roadster set to become the fastest car in the galaxy thanks to SpaceX
It's still the fastest car regardless of whether it's in space or not. 0 to 60 in 1.9 seconds. 630 miles in a single charge.

I think you missed the point about the other article. His Tesla, strapped to a rocket, went 7 miles per second...25,200 miles an hour, beating the previous on-ground record of 763 mph.
"On this planet, the fastest something you could technically refer to as a car has gone is 763 miles per hour, which was Thrust SSC. Without the hinderance of either atmospheric resistance or gravity, the Roadster will travel an astonishing 25,200 miles per hour – that's what 7 miles per second works out to."
I wish I could launch my junker into space. New Tesla program? Launch your old car into space and get a new Tesla!
This will exist one day, no doubt. We will all just be "ubering" to the moon, nbd.
Not we. Not in our lifetime.
