“@cleantechnica Model 3 was top-selling car in US by revenue despite no advertising, no paid endorsements & no discounts. Competitors spent billions on marketing. Model 3 was product alone.”
“@FischerKing64 I literally have zero interests Russia. Tesla has no operations there, SpaceX directly competes with Russia for space launch and Starlink is a key asset of Ukraine. Sam Harris is a pompous hypocrite (writes book about how lying is terrible and then advocates lying to keep Trump…”
“@JayinShanghai @Tesla Probability of injury, according to US government https://t.co/EwLFlC7LZT https://www.tesla.com/blog/model-3-lowest-probability-injury-any-vehicle-ever-tested-nhtsa”
“Set air flow to recirculating mode & manually raise blower speed to 5 in Model 3 for best air quality. Air filters are smaller than S/X, so clear air is achieved by circulating through filter several times.”
“To simplify production, many Tesla Model S & X interior configs, will no longer be available after Nov 1. Order now to be sure of the one you want.”
“Thought it would slow way down today, but Model 3 order count is now at 198k. Recommend ordering soon, as the wait time is growing rapidly.”
“Leasing now available for Model 3 https://t.co/cz0TQn7IOZ http://Tesla.com/3”
“Will be working at Tesla on Autopilot & Model 3 today, then aiming to pull an all-nighter and complete the master product plan”
““Not only was the paint without any discernible flaw, but the various panels formed a body of precision that was beyond reproach” https://t.co/qISnFBiW9p https://www.roadandtrack.com/new-cars/a28008116/tesla-model-3-build-quality-bob-lutz/”

“Model 3 Standard Range+ with Autopilot lease is $399/month at https://t.co/46TXqRrsdr, but lots of other EVs available: https://t.co/ePlZTmXcgG http://Tesla.com”
“@mliebow @Tesla Much appreciated! Great word-of-mouth is why Model 3 is the best-selling electric car, despite no advertising or paid endorsements.”
“@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.”
“@teslaownersSV We’ll aim to have it come out same time as truck. Two seater electric ATV designed to work with Cybertruck will be fun! Electric dirt bikes would be cool too. We won’t do road bikes, as too dangerous. I was hit by a truck & almost died on one when I was 17.”
“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”
“@SamTalksTesla Working on my Mom’s cousin’s farm in Saskatchewan at age 17. I think we did a barn-raising that day.”
“Exciting to see some Tesla collision repair operations already completing within 24 hrs. Aiming for same day soon, then under an hour.”
“Love you too! https://t.co/BlDDQ0oJmg http://www.thedrive.com/news/6007/tesla-model-s-declared-the-most-loved-car-in-america-again”
“@SamTwits Was also due to me that we got trademark to use Tesla Motors as initial name & later obtained https://t.co/46TXqRJBrz URL http://Tesla.com”
“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”
“@teslaownersSV @TaiwanSemi_TSC @Samsung Optimus and our supercomputer clusters. AI4 is enough to achieve much better than human safety for FSD.”
“@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”
“@BrianRoemmele Slightly different versions of the Tesla AI5 chip will be made at TSMC and Samsung simply because they translate designs to physical form differently, but the goal is that our AI software works identically. We will have samples and maybe a small number of units in 2026, but high”
“Would like to clarify that Tesla is working exclusively with Panasonic for Model 3 cells. News articles claiming otherwise are incorrect.”
“@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.”
“@SamTwits My true moral error was creating Tesla & SpaceX at same time, while avoiding general mgmt chores at Tesla (focusing only on product & engineering). Tried to have my cake & eat it too, which failed.”
“@jimcramer Plaid Model S & X are sublime”
“SpaceX & Tesla comp is same or better than other companies. Big diff is that we don't outsource manufacturing, retail sales or service.”
“@rstefani11 @Tesla Taking action. Tesla body shops now operating in California aiming for same day body repair in most cases.”
“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.”
