“@SawyerMerritt The “260 mile” range Model Y’s built over the past several months actually have more range that can be unlocked for $1500 to $2000 (gains 40 to 60 miles of range), depending on which battery cells you have. Working through regulatory approvals to enable this. https://t.co/6d5Ntekk01”

“By revenue, taking publicly available selling prices, Model 3 actually outsold Camry by a factor of two https://t.co/1ZTDk8HvJh https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-10-03/tesla-s-model-3-is-becoming-one-of-america-s-best-selling-sedans”
“@chazman Provided our vehicle AI computer is able to run the model, Tesla will probably have the most amount of true usable inference compute on Earth. Even in a robotaxi future, the cars will only be used for ~1/3 of hours/week, leaving 2/3 for distributed inference, like SETI.”
“Important to order Model S or Model X before production stops to make way for the Optimus factory in a few months [@XFreeze] Sean Hannity just shared why he bought two Tesla Model S Plaids He calls it the greatest car he has ever owned in his life. He uses both normal driving and Autopilot. People with him freak out every time because the technology is that good He already owned a Tesla, but when”

“Shanghai Giga production of Model 3/Y will serve greater China region”
“Adding several more countries to Model 3 order page tonight. Check for details, but will include India, Brazil, SA, SK, NZ, Sing & Ireland.”
“Shanghai Giga will produce affordable versions of 3/Y for greater China. All Model S/X & higher cost versions of Model 3/Y will still be built in US for WW market, incl China.”
“Model 3 mid-range EPA rating is actually 264 miles, slightly higher than prior estimate of 260 https://t.co/l4eCpTObAi https://3.tesla.com/model3/design?#battery”
“@Teslarati Rawlinson didn’t design Model S. Prototype was done before he joined & he left us in the lurch just as things got tough, which was not cool. He did make some contributions to body/chassis engineering, but not to powertrain, battery, electronics or software.”
“RT @AutismCapital: 🚨BREAKING: President Trump chooses the red MODEL S PLAID on Elon’s suggestion! 🔥😂 https://t.co/tJt8Jv4KKi”
“@teslaownersSV Getting drilled 😂 When AI can make original videos like this, we will have reached AGI 🚀 https://t.co/QIgqMq6YzD https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=a0fkNdPiIL4”
“@alex_avoigt Imagine if you could see in all directions simultaneously and never get distracted or tired. How much better could you drive? That what Tesla’s Autopilot vision AI is becoming.”
“Model 3 long range, rear wheel drive is still available for ordering off menu for another week or so”
“@rainnwilson Your Tesla can function as a boat for brief periods of time https://t.co/FONhnIiv8j https://electrek.co/2016/06/18/tesla-model-s-driving-swimming-flooded-tunnel-video/”
“@alex_avoigt @Porsche The Tesla Plaid Model S is incredible”
“Aiming to finish initial construction this summer, start Model 3 production end of year & reach high volume production next year”
“Would like to clarify that Tesla is working exclusively with Panasonic for Model 3 cells. News articles claiming otherwise are incorrect.”
“@SamTwits @MKBHD Tesla Model S Plaid is alien technology”
“@FredericLambert @woodhaus2 Production design will be better, especially in details. We are dying to do this, but primary focus must remain on making affordable version of Model 3 & bringing Y to market”
“@JackCydia Good, but not hospital grade. S & X were designed to be proof against an actual bioweapon attack. Requires a giant filter with separate acid & alkaline gas neutralization layers. Not enough room in Model 3.”
“@DrKnowItAll16 @OpenAI @Tesla Tesla has been able to do real-world video generation with accurate physics for about a year. It wasn’t super interesting, because all the training data came from the cars, so it just looks like video from a Tesla, albeit with a dynamically generated (not remembered) world.”
“Model 3 will be RWD, with dual motor AWD optional. Even RWD will have great traction on ice due to fast torque response of Tesla drivetrain.”
“@MeetLuis @WARREZ420 @WholeMarsBlog Rawlinson was never chief engineer. He arrived after Model S prototype was made, left before things got tough & was only ever responsible for body engineering, not powertrain, battery, software, production or design.”
“@teslaownersSV I might be getting to the point where I’ve overseen the construction of a wider range of manufacturing systems than anyone. Managing a global supply chain is also very difficult and underrated. Tactics wins battles, but logistics (supply chain) wins wars.”
“@jimcramer Plaid Model S & X are sublime”
“Comprehensive study by Autolist shows that a Tesla retains its value far better than gasoline sedans https://t.co/QrBuVj3qKi https://electrek.co/2016/09/13/tesla-model-s-value-retention-leading-segment-losing-only-28-after-50k-miles/”
“@Teslaconomics Not as profound as AGI, but certainly profound”
“@tsrandall Incorrect. Pana cell lines at Giga are only at ~24GWh/yr & have been a constraint on Model 3 output since July. No choice but to use other suppliers for Powerwall/Powerpack cells. Tesla won’t spend money on more capacity until existing lines get closer to 35GWh theoretical.”
“@DrKnowItAll16 @OpenAI @Tesla We have been short on training compute for FSD, so haven’t trained with other video, but certainly could. Will do it later this year when we have some spare capacity.”
“@OwenSparks_ Agreed! We’re not super far, as Magic Valley Utility can give us almost all wind-power, which will be used for LOX (78% of propellant mass)/N2/argon distillation. We’re also aiming to increase solar power from 1MW to 10MW, paired with Tesla Megapacks, for continuous power.”
“Ad taken out in Palo Alto Daily by two Model S owners is right. Many of the suggestions will be implemented soon. http://t.co/cF43PvJDgQ”
“@alistairmilne But we probably won’t try for best lap time this week, as we need to review & tune Model S thoroughly for safety on Nürburgring, especially Flugplatz section”
“More details on Model 3 unveil in coming weeks. That's it for now.”
“@businessinsider True, the 2012 Model S is still a great car. Was driving SN28 a few months ago and driving feel was excellent. Model S remains my fav car to drive.”
“@teslaownersSV @PaperBagInvest True. That was mega pain.”
“RT @JoNationLive: Picked up a pizza order. As I walked out, an elderly couple was getting out of their new Tesla Model Y. I said, “Beautifu…”
“Model S drivetrain warranty increased to infinite miles, applies retroactively ... http://t.co/0Gwukwj6qT http://teslamotors.com/blog/infinite-mile-warranty”
“@Teslarati It’s a start. We expect these track times to be beaten by the actual production 7 seat Model S Plaid variant that goes into production around Oct/Nov next year.”
“RT @aelluswamy: Just the beginning! Once the AI models for self-driving and Optimus unify it’s going to be 🔥 It’s a great time to join the…”
“@teslaownersSV @Model3Owners @TrungTPhan Felt I had done enough on the Internet (Zip2 & PayPal) that my work would be useful to others. Needed to get going on accelerating sustainable energy & making life multiplanetary.”
“@PaperBagInvest But reaching volume production with sustained positive cash flow was last achieved by an American car company, Chrysler, ~100 years ago! Ford & Tesla are the only American car companies to avoid bankruptcy. Even GM & Chrysler went bankrupt in 2009.”
“@Model3Owners Model 3 Performance order page progressively rolling out to reservation holders over the next week or so. It’s a really great car. Not saying that lightly. Test drive is a mindwarp. Aiming to have these as our first test drive Model 3 cars in stores within 4 to 6 week’s.”
“@teslaownersSV Tesla Model S Plaid will do 0 to 60mph (~100km/h) in 2 seconds”
“@realkeith @TMSP85 Not enough room unless we completely delete front trunk. Model S & X primary HEPA filter alone is literally 1000% bigger than normal car air filter.”
“RT @Tesla: New Model 3 wins Edmunds Top Rated award in Electric Car category Thanks @edmunds! https://t.co/aIeO68xOhy”
“RT @niccruzpatane: The President of the United States of America just purchased a 1,020 hp Tesla Model S Plaid. An absolute BEAST: 0-60 i…”
“@farzyness @WalterIsaacson Managing that data is extremely difficult. We ignore (don’t store at all) or delete almost all of it. The training videos that matter are rare ones, like weird & busy intersections, so less than 1% of all videos. Tesla is limited by AI training compute. Nvidia + Dojo fix it.”
“@Scobleizer Where Tesla video generation exceeds OpenAI is that it predicts extremely accurate physics. That is essential for self-driving.”
“RT @teslaownersSV: "I don't trust OpenAI and Sam Altman. I don't think we want to have the most powerful AI in the world controlled by some…”
