I've read there was nobody in the car when they did that. 'For safety'. Never mind the extra 80 Kg of weight, that had nothing to do with it.

His other company catches rockets, and there's no telling what mass would be remaining when it lands, since the exact path would only be estimated prior. I doubt it would have made a difference if it had 150kg off, whatever computer is controlling the thrusters is calculating in real time.
Its about the capability of the cold air system to handle the mass with the pressure in the tank not about stabilisation.
There was an Optimus in the driver’s seat. There’s video.
I mean, yeah? Would you have put someone in the car?
yes, if the car is sold as something for someone to be in
That is a prototype.

No, but I suspect that if they had that the whole demo would not have worked.
