    Tesla really needs to make a bus for this job.

      Later on, Tesla will make a stretched version of the X for using in the boring company’s tunnels. Those can then replace these 2.

      Model Xes will be fine for Crew Dragon 2 missions. A bus isn’t going to be needed until crew-carrying Starships start service. That gives Tesla a year or two to whomp a few up.

    I wonder how these suits compare to the regular NASA and Boeing outfits?
    I would think that as long as they have a carry-on life support that they would be in good shape.
