It's not even really an invention. They just stuck an external RCS rig on an existing car

I don't even think it was an existing car. There are screen shots showing the underside of it when it flipped and it's just a shell.

yes, there is no way an actual Tesla that you can drive would be able to do anything remotely close to this, it’d require gigantic obvious fuel tanks and much larger thrusters in order to get off the ground.

Let SpaceX sell it as a kit. I want to build the most terrifying thing imaginible by strapping it to a Nissan Altima with mismatched body panels, a cracked windshield, and mismatched tires (2 of which are bald donut spares).
