Withdrawal of the initial Tuatara speed claim
SSC initially publicized a 316.1-mph two-way average from a Nevada test. Analysts later identified apparent inconsistencies between the video evidence and the claimed data, leading SSC to retract the claim. CEO Jerod Shelby acknowledged the mistakes and committed to more transparent, redundant verification in later testing.
