Will it even be maintainable? Never mind the rocket fuel...

Will the frame itself hold up?

It's apparently not fuel but pressurized air being refueled by the car itself.

Probably doesn't matter. I don't think it will be permitted on public roads anyway.

The presented variant is invite-only, so I guess it will be made to put in the garage of some (Saudi) investor who commits a billion dollar investment...

  • Correcting myself (and Elon) here.

    It turns out the car has a 200L/600L nitrogen tank with 10,000PSI that needs to be filled from external source.

    Consumed nitrogen reduces the pressure, so the tank is re-pressurized with ambient air by a in-car compressor.
