Question I've been wondering about for the giant Tesla advertisement is if they had to make any modifications to the roadster to support being in space? The background space temperature is -455 F and obviously also zero gravity.



in the post launch presser musk says no changes were made


At -455 F, wouldn't the glass windshield crack? Metal body suffer from freezing? What am I missing?
