    The Roadster FV uses cold gas thrusters, IE compressed air. There’s no carbon footprint apart from the energy used to run the compressor.

      “Apart from” is doing a lot of heavy lifting for that carbon footprint, and I mean specially for the action itself, not development or parts. Compressed air is about as inefficient as it gets.

      And probably a lot of energy used in designing it. Wtf is the point? There is no chance that is road legal. So… What is it for?

      The only real use case I can see for it is a film stunt car.
