I'm so lost as to why we are sending a car to space.

We both had the same question. No one seems as confused by this as I am.
-
I guess given the pure absurdity of the country these days, people are just like, "yea, car in space, duh? Why not a car?"
-
SpaceX was testing it's latest rocket, the Falcon Heavy, and it was time for space trials today. They wanted to test a payload launch and since today would be the 1st time the Falcon went into orbit, they wanted it to be replaceable in case of a problem. Its Elons own car.
-
Damn, I would have traded him cars if he'd needed some dead weight.

Btw the astronaut and car idea is from Heavy Metal magazine. The Tesla sits on the main module which will test for radiation as it goes thru the Van Allen Belts. If it survives it will continue on its journey to orbit mars and wait there for Mars colonists.pic.twitter.com/i0pBEz2gOV

How are the colonists going to get it down? And are they going to drive it around afterward?
-
Rumor has it that the main module with the car on top can land on Mars. Who knows but Elon Musk wants to colonize Mars asap and he probably has plans for it. It's an electric car so maybe they can use it on the surface like the electric vehicles on the moon. Just guessing tho.

No one has explained why we've launched a car into space. With a fake astronaut, no less.
