SciFi in the 1950s had it right
Need to go back and watch some of those old movies with rockets landing on their tail.
Really cool video

Wouldn’t the tires explode? Or were they fully deflated?

"Wouldn’t the tires explode? Or were they fully deflated?" Probably had the valve stems removed -- or, were otherwise vented...

I’m really concerned that the Tesla may not been designed to deep space emission standards...If the asteroid belt begins to warm up, we’ll know who to blame...

This proves Elon Musk isn’t New Mexican, otherwise the Tesla would make it the whole 34 million miles to Mars with it’s turn signal on.

The launch makes me think about this old album and the Kamakiri car in the "Trans-Island Skyway" song.

Yep - the flat-earth nuts are frothing at the mouth and losing their minds...
But what’s really disturbing - is that apparently we have some of those nutty, anti-logic, non-thinking flat-earth nuts here on FR. So much for a web site with folks of a more thinking culture...

#1 - owner is the CEO of the company... so warranty isn’t an issue in that regard.
#2 - the care is a 2008 model - so was way out of warranty anyway...
