“@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 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.”
“@WholeMarsBlog @ConsumerReports Tesla is half a decade ahead or more”
“@WholeMarsBlog @SawyerMerritt @Tesla He doesn’t get enough negative feedback. This platform is great for that :).”
“@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.”
“@_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.”
“@Tesmanian_com Award accepted on behalf of the great people at Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink & Boring Co”
“@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”
“@_SFTahoe @tslamoon1 @WholeMarsBlog That would be nice”
“@Teslarati @13ericralph31 @StarshipGazer As backdrops go, this is a good one”
“@WholeMarsBlog Then HW5, which has been renamed to AI5, in the second half of next year. The Tesla AI5 computer has ~10X the capability of HW4 computer and Tesla makes the whole software stack.”
“@Teslarati @13ericralph31 It’s a big deal that Dragon is reusable, with improved refurbishment efficiency with each passing flight! This is not the case for other orbital spacecraft. It means the spacefleet grows every time a new Dragon is made.”
“@teslaownersSV First, no one has ever mentioned rehab to me ever. Second, if they are saying that I was able to lead Tesla to be by far the most valuable carmaker and SpaceX to be by far the most valuable space company *simultaneously*, that is the greatest compliment I have ever received!”
“@WholeMarsBlog @jimfarley98 @mrlevine Just drove FSD Beta 9.3 from Pasadena to LAX. Much improved!”
“@Astro_Elliott @Teslarati @ResidentSponge Aiming to have hot gas thrusters on booster for first orbital flight”
“@Jason Thanks Jason! Super proud to work with such great teams at SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink and Boring!!”
“@WholeMarsBlog The build I’m driving right now is almost there. FSD 10 will blow your mind.”
“@WholeMarsBlog They will switch from claiming that Tesla self-driving is fake to Tesla self-driving is unfairly good”
“@teslaownersSV @SpaceX You may be in an area that is at maximum capacity. Did SpaceX not provide an unsubscribe warning?”
“@SawyerMerritt @SpaceX @Tesla Yay!”
“@teslaownersSV @SpaceX Starlink is a little patchy to Tonga right now, but will improve dramatically as laser inter-satellite links activate”
“@TeslaBoomerMama Scientific American has become a social activist magazine and destroyed its credibility. My companies have succeeded *despite* the government support playing field being tilted heavily to competitors. Boeing received twice as much as SpaceX for astronaut transport, yet has not…”
“@TheTeslaBull @BLKMDL3 @S3XYstarship @IWill_Travel @AOC Based on past experience, about 12 to 18 months. Companies that are inherently negative cash flow (ie value destroyers) need to die, so that they stop consuming resources.”
“RT @teslaownersSV: SpaceX is making fully rapidly reusable rockets The holy grail of rocketry https://t.co/VgdOiRJSxl”
“@wholemars Tesla is smooth as butter”
“@WholeMarsBlog To be fair, investors are giving us significant credit for achieving self-driving, given that Tesla’s valuation/production is very high compared to other automakers”
“@tslaming Starlink V3 has three separate chip designs by SpaceX that are very special”
“RT @teslaownersSV: “You’ve got to look at Elon Musk, at SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink – the guy is our Einstein. I'd like to be helpful to him a…”
“RT @teslaownersSV: Starship will make us multi planetary https://t.co/S9bgLgRsh5”
“RT @teslaownersSV: “I cannot be President, and I actually don't want to be President. So, to be clear, I want to build rockets and cars.”…”
“RT @teslaownersSV: The starship is the largest flying object ever made, and it was able to be caught by chopsticks https://t.co/iMkJAWGsOz”
“@WholeMarsBlog Would be cool to make a game using Tesla Sim that’s literally your city & neighborhood, down to skid marks on road & then inject fantasy/sci-fi elements”
“@WholeMarsBlog FSD releasing to Canada next week”
“@jessica_kirsh @SpaceX @TeslaAIBot @Tesla Cool :)”
“@WalterIsaacson Accurate. [Technical note: Linux in 1999 was still early days, whereas Windows had a whole video game dev community to draw upon. In later years with SpaceX & Tesla, I obviously went with Linux. Also, Max was unequivocally wrong that the site wouldn’t work with Windows. It…”
“@flcnhvy @DJSnM Neuralink this month & Tesla next month, SpaceX probably October. We will have made a lot of progress by then. Might have a prototype booster hop done by then.”
“@PPathole @Teslarati @13ericralph31 If we are able to make life self-sustaining on Mars, we will have passed one of the greatest filters. That then sets us up to become interstellar. Earth is ~4.5B years old, but life is still not multiplanetary and it is extremely uncertain how much time is left to become so.”
“@WholeMarsBlog @FutureJurvetson @Tesla @karpathy Bot is not directly on the path of accelerating a sustainable energy future, but it aspirationally improves the probability that the future is good”
“RT @WholeMarsBlog: The Tesla Takedown protests that aim to destroy Tesla in order to attack Musk were organized by Alex Winter, also known…”
“@Gfilche @MadeInTheUSANJ I’m just talking about the mid-term elections in November. Not sure that there is a third party candidate. It’s rather hard to support a party when prominent members of that party keep attacking me and sidelining Tesla & SpaceX!”
“@teslaownersSV Starship V4 will have 42 engines when 3 more Raptors are added to a significantly longer ship. That will fly in 2027. Starship V3 is a massive upgrade from the current V2 and should be through production and testing by end of year, with heavy flight activity next year.”
“@WholeMarsBlog The long-term outcome for Tesla is very high”
“@WholeMarsBlog Tesla Autopilot was literally named after the term used in aviation. Also, what about Autobahn!?”
“@WholeMarsBlog Tesla has great respect for software engineering, they do not”
“@SP_LimitReviews @Tesla @CodingMark @Manic_Marge @teslainventory @WholeMarsBlog Lot of good work happening on Tesla sound codec & audio software in general. Aiming for maximum music dopamine in your brain!”
“@WholeMarsBlog Almost ready with FSD Beta V9.0. Step change improvement is massive, especially for weird corner cases & bad weather. Pure vision, no radar.”
“@WholeMarsBlog One more production release of pure vision this week, then FSD beta 9 a week or two later. V9.0 FSD is also pure vision. Foundational improvements are immense.”
“@SamTalksTesla @RationalEtienne @thirdrowtesla @wholemarslog @28delayslater @vincent13031925 @teslaownersSV Haha true”
“@WholeMarsBlog The probability of Tesla dying in 2008/2009 was very high. We closed our financing round at 6pm on Dec 24th – the last working hour of the last day before Tesla would otherwise bounce payroll.”
