Maybe I'm dumb but I had assumed that if you got it close to a mars orbit it'd be feasible to make it a true satellite of Mars. Interesting to see this guy say that's not realistic.
I'm not exactly a rocket scientist either, but I think the crux of the issue is the quote at 2:00 in the video: "The Falcon Heavy and the Roadster aren't capable of deep space maneuvers, as far as we know."
Mars fly-by : Mars orbit :: passing on the freeway : jumping between two cars traveling at 65 m/h
The latter are significantly more difficult, to put it mildly.
