Mostly 304L, some 301. Broke at 301 to 304 interface. SN9 will be all 304. Also, we’re making some tweaks to the 304 alloy mixture.

Sidenote: Did SN7.1 get to an acceptable bar rating before pop? (per SN8 confidence, given the same alloy).
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Sep 26, 2020
8 bar differential in ullage, 9 bar at base due to propellant head. It’s enough. Improvements in work.

Will u attempt SN9 for 20km?
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Sep 26, 2020
We just need enough height to test body flaps & drawing propellant from headers vs main tanks. Will do several flights to confirm working well, then add heat shield & go high Mach.

A few updates made to this unofficial animated cutaway of the Fuel Turbopump powering the @SpaceX Raptor engine. Getting closer @elonmusk ?

That's quite a fair assessment for the "delta" configuration, but the "tadpole" configuration has driving dynamics similar to 4-wheeled vehicles (when moving forward, not in reverse)
Problem is not dynamics, but rather that they're not required to meet car safety standards.

⚠️ Sandy Munro Nears Breaking Point!
#BatteryDay was the last straw
Tesla's rate, level, and range of innovation combined with continuous design improvements is wreaking havoc at @MunroAssociates 😖
Is there anything you can do to help @elonmusk? 😀

Can’t support 3 wheel vehicles. Not safe enough.
