Fleet operators are used to a scenario with diesel or gasoline, that pricing goes up or down by, let’s say, 20% in a given year. So, it’s highly complex—it’s like going to a gas station and it could be $3 a gallon, or it could be $12 a gallon, and it just depends on all of these extenuating circumstances.
Other tire makers have shown concepts with much higher levels of sustainable content , but what makes the Primacy A/S demo tire different is that it’s production-ready. During pyrolysis, gas is captured, which can in turn be used to help heat the pyrolysis oven. It has to be cost-effective to recover and reuse materials, too.
Musk said the Roadster will “give a hard-core smack down to gasoline powered cars,” suggesting that it will beat all gas sportscars, and even redefine the word car (though he has also stated somewhat ridiculously that it will be able to fly for short periods – which is not what you want a sportscar to do; you want downforce, not upforce).
