2.7 second long static fire with 4 premature shutdown Raptor engines.
Engine design is not stabilising yet, they are still pushing performance. Raptor 3s are now rolling off the line which again have increased performance. They also target a reduction in complexity with each iteration which should in the end increase reliability.
But reliability itself is a later target once the design is mostly settled.
