“@WholeMarsBlog @rocker_261 @SawyerMerritt Training compute for Tesla is relatively small compared to inference compute, as the latter scales linearly with size of fleet. Perhaps the best way to think about it is in terms of power consumption. When the Tesla fleet reaches 100M vehicles, peak power consumption of AI…”
“@WholeMarsBlog Those are the biggest factors. ~80% of Tesla’s value will be Optimus.”
“@SirineAti @mn_google We will have a second Starship stack ready to fly in August and then monthly thereafter”
“@austinbarnard45 Total coincidence! Also, booster height was originally 70m, but we eliminated a half barrel for manufacturing efficiency, so now it’s …”
“@WholeMarsBlog It was a mistake to try to use the Elise. In the end, only ~5% of the Elise parts ended up being used. Tesla Roadster is a totally different car.”
“@Erdayastronaut @flcnhvy @ErcXspace Production is hard, prototypes are easy. Building ~1000 Starships to create a self-sustaining city on Mars is our mission.”
“@austinbarnard45 Starship SN6 flew asimilar hop to SN5, but it was a much smoother & faster operation”
“@WholeMarsBlog @ConsumerReports Tesla is half a decade ahead or more”
“@WholeMarsBlog Suppliers. We’re only doing high energy nickel ourselves, at least for now. Also, maybe the presentation wasn’t clear that we’ve actually had our cells in packs driving cars for several months. Prototypes are trivial, volume production is hard.”
“@cnunezimages @SpaceX Well ya see we need to reach around the rocket to uhh …”
“@WholeMarsBlog In that case, you’ll love 11.4.1”
“@nextspaceflight @NASASpaceflight @BocaChicaGal @SpaceX 29 Raptors on Booster initially, rising to 32 later this year, along with thrust increase per engine. Aiming for >7500 ton thrust long-term. T/W ~1.5.”
“@WholeMarsBlog Not sure who wrote this, but it’s accurate https://t.co/gRvWxOJZ56”
“Petra and Mars https://t.co/AFgsZVlImZ https://www.instagram.com/p/BglRR6EgB8j/”
“@WholeMarsBlog @Reuters This is a hard thing for us to do right now, as we don’t have enough satellites with laser links and there are already geo sats that serve the Tonga region. That is why I’m asking for clear confirmation.”
“@WholeMarsBlog https://t.co/MbS8QAyQH7”
“RT @SpaceX: The first Starship V3 has left the build site to begin prelaunch testing https://t.co/DMZVMuRQVl”
“@RocketLab Congrats!”
“@SpaceX @Starlink Back in the saddle!”
“@Brian_J_Berger That dude is not just a “condition of anonymity” spineless coward, he’s also an ignorant fool. Starlink was directly requested by the Ukraine government, as it was the only thing that worked.”
“@tobyliiiiiiiiii This is intended for Earth, but there may be some ideas that apply to Mars too”
“RT @Space_Station: The @SpaceX Dragon spacecraft carrying four #Crew9 members undocked from the station at 1:05am ET today and is headed fo…”
“@RyanZohoury @WholeMarsBlog @semaforben Good point. Conflicts of interest should be made readily apparent to the reader.”
“@ray4tesla Did my best to warn people that LiDAR isn’t optimal for cars. Roads are designed for biological neural nets & eyes, so digital neural nets & cameras will work best. I say this even though Dragon uses LiDAR for docking with Station, so I don’t intrinsically hate that technology.”
“@jamesdouma @CernBasher @matt_vanswol It’s a useful exercise for Mars too, where vast solar arrays will be needed plus fission”
“Falcon Heavy test flight currently scheduled for late summer”
“@_opencv_ It’s all part of broader vision/strategy 😂 Starship 10 is launching on Sunday. Grok 5 begins training next month. Tesla Autopilot V14 also next month. Long-term strategy is compelling.”
“@WholeMarsBlog I don’t comment on everything, as sometimes I don’t see it and commenting on everything makes it easy to fish for information. The take rate is much higher than 2%. Please.”
“@Tesmanian_com Award accepted on behalf of the great people at Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink & Boring Co”
“@cnunezimages @SpaceX @SpaceIntellige3 Human for scale”
“@WholeMarsBlog xAI is burning the 4am oil LFG!!!”
“@darewecan Starlink satellites will not close the link in Russia”
“@WholeMarsBlog 🎯”
“RT @cb_doge: 🚨 BREAKING: Elon Musk watching the Starship 9 test flight from the control center. https://t.co/eldff8EdMX”
“@occupymars42069 Maybe one day”
“@Emmett__Osborne @WholeMarsBlog I was prepared to accept either outcome”
“@WholeMarsBlog Still a few legacy NNs using single cam, single frame that need to move to surround video”
“@jessica_kirsh @SpaceX Booster production is currently ahead of engine production”
“@SciGuySpace Cumulative payload to orbit is the really crazy number. Falcon has delivered more than double rest of world combined over trailing 12 months.”
“@WholeMarsBlog Any car company that fails to solve self-driving will die”
“@jonbbc @WholeMarsBlog @aelluswamy 10.69.1 is even better. We reduced latency & jitter in hardware command loop, so time from object detection to brake actuation is 10% to 20% better.”
“@SawyerMerritt The “subsidies” he’s talking about simply do not exist. DJT has already removed or put an expiry date on all sustainable energy support while leaving massive oil & gas subsidies untouched. SpaceX won the NASA contracts by doing a better job for less money. Moving those”
“@patrickc I thought SpaceX and Tesla both had >90% chance of failure, but worth trying anyway”
“@WholeMarsBlog FSD will soon exceed 10,000 miles between critical interventions, which is a year of driving for most people”
“@WholeMarsBlog Our NNs didn’t have any temporal & spatial memory or surround video auto-labeling back then – everything was knitted together in C++ from single frames with manual labeling. Still much to improve.”
“@WholeMarsBlog We must focus on FSD for the other 99% of the fleet. Cybertruck FSD is a few months away.”
“@WholeMarsBlog The path to overwhelming victory is clear, but a massive amount of work remains”
“@_SFTahoe @tslamoon1 @WholeMarsBlog That would be nice”
“@Teslarati @13ericralph31 @StarshipGazer As backdrops go, this is a good one”
“@imPenny2x @SecDuffyNASA They won’t. SpaceX is moving like lightning compared to the rest of the space industry. Moreover, Starship will end up doing the whole Moon mission. Mark my words.”
