“@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.”
“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.”
“@teslaownersSV @SamTwits He came damn close to killing Tesla through a combination of bad management decisions, driving out talented people, bad engineering, major blunders in supply chain & an elaborate deception about the true cost & schedule of the Tesla Roadster.”
“@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…”

“@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”
“@harrison_astro We can do that partially, but detailed rocket technology is considered advanced weaponry (same tech as nuclear missiles), so there are more limitations than at Tesla”
“@karpathy Yup, same thing happening with real-world AI at Tesla”
“@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.”
“@alistairmilne Model S is already there”
“Supercharger policy explained well by @LATimes: https://t.co/F0CInMW1yU Will post detailed description soon. I think it's a good balance. http://www.latimes.com/business/autos/la-fi-hy-tesla-model-3-chargers-20160601-snap-story.html”

“@EVNewsDaily @Tesla This is the new production line for battery module Zone 4. Will play a key role in getting from 3000/week to 6000/week for Model 3.”

“@ZainRaz4 @vincent13031925 @JonErlichman Closest we got was about a month. The Model 3 ramp was extreme stress & pain for a long time — from mid 2017 to mid 2019. Production & logistics hell.”
“RT @tesla_na: Use your friend’s referral code, get $1k off a new @cybertruck or Model S/X Available in 🇺🇸 & 🇵🇷”
“@IAmGlennonX @Tslachan @raines1220 Tesla developed high resolution radar and the hardware is actually present in Model S & X, but it just can’t compare to passive optical (cameras), so we turned it off. As a side note, any military systems that rely on radar “stealth” technology are toast in a modern conflict,”
