Many people count steps Elon Musk it’s weird and makes no sense. In fact, he has his own goals.
First, as a technology demonstration. Musk wanted to demonstrate the capabilities of the technology developed by SpaceX and its ability to send heavy payloads into space. This step will help the company obtain new contracts from the government and private companies.
Second, regarding Tesla promotions. By sending Tesla into space, Elon Musk also wants to promote the Tesla brand and demonstrate the advantages of electric car technology. This will help Tesla to attract more consumers and expand market share.
Third, about marketing. SpaceX and Tesla are leveraging the momentum to promote themselves as innovative, boundary-defying companies.
Elon also hopes that this mission will help scientists and researchers learn more about outer space and increase knowledge about the universe.
At that time, Elon himself said that the success of the mission of sending Tesla using SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy rocket into space was only 50:50.
But, in the end the mission was a success. And the Tesla roadster hurtled into space and remains afloat to this day.
Well, where is it located? Apparently, there is a website called “Where Is Roadster” which monitors the development of the car.
