ELON MUSK’S COMPANIES TESLA AND SpaceX COLLABORATE ON MODEL S EJECTION SEAT

Engineer Orchid Platt recently escaped injury when she separated from the ejection seat during testing.

Two of Elon Musk’s companies, automaker Tesla and rocket manufacturer SpaceX are said to be in the final testing phase of an ejection seat for the Model S.  

“This will be a feature offered by no other automaker,” said Tesla spokesperson Epiphanie Moot.  “We believe it will be especially popular with carpoolers, as it really speeds up the dropping-off process.”

Tesla hopes to offer the seats within six months, although Moot acknowledged engineers were still working out some bugs.  “During our last test, the ejectee separated from the seat.  She was woozy, but okay.”
