Spaceballs - Wikipedia

"Spaceballs has made an impact on popular culture and been used as a referent and inspiration in other properties.

Tesla Motors has used Spaceballs' starship speeds (Light Speed, Ridiculous Speed, Ludicrous Speed, Plaid Speed) as inspiration for naming their acceleration modes. In homage to Spaceballs, Tesla has Ludicrous Mode for acceleration beyond its Insane Mode, and Plaid Mode, overtop Ludicrous.[26][27]

As part of its merchandising, The Boring Company sold 20,000 "flamethrowers" in 2018[28] inspired by the Spaceballs merchandising scene.[29]"
