Based on Tesla’s The Ramp. The vehicle, ramp, lights and cameras are reconstructed from the footage. Movement comes from a rigid-body solver, tire contacts, ground adhesion and limited thruster forces.

An independent approximation without factory CAD, inertia, thrust curves or controller telemetry. Vapor is not a high-pressure fluid simulation. Every camera shares the same physical world.

The standard demonstration uses audio from the supplied reference video. Changed physics conditions use force-driven synthesized sound.
