Tesla and SpaceX share knowledge and components with each other. Tesla Cybertrucks have been seen hauling SpaceX rockets, and SpaceX uses Tesla electric motors for its Starship rocket. It's a win-win for both companies. Here's the many ways the companies are synergistic, giving each an even stronger competitive advantage than they would on their own.
Tesla's Help in Space
Battery Power: SpaceX uses Tesla's battery technology for their rockets. Batteries are crucial for storing energy for rocket launches and powering spacecraft. Imagine having the same batteries that make electric cars go, now helping rockets reach space! Batteries will likely be used in rockets much more in the future as the technology improves. However, Elon Musk has said that propellant will be needed for the foreseeable future to generate the needed thrust to escape earth's gravity.
Car Parts: Believe it or not, SpaceX uses car parts from Tesla. These aren't just any parts; we're talking about parts for vehicles that astronauts might use, like the Tesla Model X which astronauts have ridden to the launch pad. This shows how car tech can be used for space travel - by transporting others in an energy efficient way. The Starship rocket utilizes Tesla motors in order to move around the fins needed to do a landing catch with the giant chopsticks of the tower.
SpaceX's Boost for Tesla
Launching Cars into Space: Remember when a Tesla Roadster was launched into space by a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket? That wasn't just for show. It tested the rocket's power and showed off what both companies could achieve together.
Rocket Tech in Cars: Elon Musk has teased that the new Tesla Roadster might have rocket thrusters, thanks to SpaceX. This could mean incredibly fast acceleration or even short, fun hops into the air. It's like blending the speed of space with the road!
Cold Rolled Stainless Steel: The same steel on the SpaceX starship is used in the steel exoskeleton of the Tesla Cybertruck.
Sharing Goals and Dreams
Innovation and Inspiration: Both companies inspire each other. Tesla's push for sustainable energy influences SpaceX's missions, like using renewable energy for rocket fuel production. Meanwhile, SpaceX's space ambitions fuel Tesla's drive for advanced tech in cars.
Cross-Promotion: By showcasing each other's products, like the Tesla Roadster in space or using Tesla cars for astronaut transport, they indirectly promote each other, enhancing brand recognition and loyalty.
Real-World Synergies
Materials and Manufacturing: Tesla's advances in manufacturing, especially in making parts for electric vehicles, directly helps SpaceX in creating more efficient, reusable rocket parts. The way Tesla builds cars might inspire how SpaceX assembles rockets.
Software and AI: Tesla's Autopilot system uses AI for driving. This tech could be adapted for navigation and control systems in spacecraft, making space travel safer and smarter.
