Musk:

Looks like we can increase Raptor thrust by ~20% to reach 9000 tons (20 million lbs) of force at sea level and deliver over 200 tons of payload to a useful orbit with full & rapid reusability.

50 rockets flying every 3 days on average enables over a megaton of payload to orbit per year – enough to build a self-sustaining city on Mars.
