“@teslaownersSV @Kristennetten @TesLatino Every 5 to 10 days”
“@Kristennetten @teslaownersSV @TesLatino Faults will never be zero, but at some point the probability of a fault will be far lower than that of the average human”
“@teslaownersSV @TesLatino We measure this primarily in intervention probability. This update addressed several issues, resulting in perhaps ~1/3 fewer interventions. Many of the improvements consist of fixing silly bugs vs grand eureka moments. True for most beta releases in my experience.”
“@TesLatino Thanks to a great Autopilot/AI team working super hard! Doing “neural nets” without testing them against reality has led some groups to overestimate what they’re doing. Reality is the hardest sim.”
“@teslaownersSV This build should be noticeably better with interventions”
“@RationalEtienne @teslaownersSV @toadmeister Yes”
“@teslaownersSV @toadmeister I’ve spent more than half my life in California & love the state. But, frankly, I think CA has the winning-for-too-long problem. Like a sports team with many championships, it is increasingly difficult to avoid complacency & a sense of entitlement.”
“@Teslarati Truth is stranger than fiction”
“@SamTalksTesla Well, being a phased array antenna, it is actually rather flat!”
“Tesla should make 🔥 catgirl robots?”
“@HyperChangeTV Tesla team has done great work!”
“@arctechinc @Tesla Yes, very helpful. Thanks all beta testers!”
“@TesLatino Mine is a few days ahead”
“@EliBurton_ @teslaownersSV Sure, it could be an option in settings”
“@teslaownersSV Visualization will tone down significantly for production. These are intentionally strident colors.”
“Price change is pushed to Thursday next week. Applies only to US for now. One week clock will start in other countries as beta is released. FSD monthly rental will also be available sometime next year.”
“Now that Tesla FSD beta is out in limited release, FSD price (new or upgrade) will go up by ~$2k on Monday”
“@TeslaGong @PPathole @teslaownersSV @tesla_raj As soon as we complete testing & regulators approve. So many different traffic signs, rules & languages around world, not to mention driving on left side of road! Also, a long & challenging road lies ahead getting to high 9’s reliability (way beyond human).”
“@PPathole @teslaownersSV @tesla_raj Yes”
“@teslaownersSV @tesla_raj Haha”
“@Teslarati Dependent on proving high safety”
“@WholeMarsBlog Not intentional! We just wanted to show that you could theoretically convert the entire US vehicle fleet to electric using only the lithium in Nevada, a single state. Tesla will do lithium mining only as needed. We also found a way to extract lithium using NaCl (table salt).”
“FSD beta rollout happening tonight. Will be extremely slow & cautious, as it should.”
“@SamTalksTesla London to Beijing would be cool”
“@SamTalksTesla Wow, that would be quite a trip!”
“@bamtheteslaman1 @cleantechnica Doesn’t seem to be any life in this solar system. Maybe under the ice of Europa or extremophile bacteria below the surface of Mars. Worth reading: https://t.co/ym0d53HgyS https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drake_equation”
“@Kristennetten @teslaownersSV You never know”
“@teslaownersSV Starting production on 7 seater next month, initial deliveries early December”
“The gauntlet has been thrown down! The prophecy will be fulfilled. Model S price changes to $69,420 tonight!”
“@gem8mingen @Tesla Congratulations!”
“@Teslarati Making progress”
“@flcnhvy @WholeMarsBlog @Kristennetten @boringcompany @Tesla It’s still there, but focus is Vegas & Prufrock, our new tunneling machine”
“@AstroJordy @Kristennetten @boringcompany @Tesla For sure”
“@WholeMarsBlog @Kristennetten @boringcompany @Tesla Maybe a month or so. Some finishing touches need to be done on the stations.”
“@Kristennetten @boringcompany @Tesla We simplified this a lot. It’s basically just Teslas in tunnels at this point, which is way more profound than it sounds.”
“@teslaownersSV I have Goosebumps 2 merch. Not sure how tbh.”
“@teslaownersSV HG2G”
“@teslaownersSV LotR”
“@Teslarati With FSD, we got stuck in a lot of local maximums, which wasn’t clear until we hit the ceiling. This time, it’s right.”
“@Teslarati Sheer magnitude of the entire production system is hard to appreciate. Almost every element of production is >75% automated. Only wire harnesses & general assembly, which are <10% of production costs, are primarily manual.”
“@TeslaClubIN @cleantechnica Will release order configurator probably in Jan”
“@cleantechnica Limited FSD beta releasing on Tuesday next week, as promised. This will, at first, be limited to a small number of people who are expert & careful drivers.”
“@jwangARK Tesla FSD computer’s dual SoCs function like twin engines on planes — they each run different neural nets, so we do get full use of 144 TOPS, but there are enough nets running on each to allow the car to drive to safety if one SoC (or engine in this analogy) fails.”
“@OhioTesla @JenDunlap_ @Tesla @CARandDRIVER @teslaownersSV @Teslarati @ElectrekCo Glad Jen is safe!”
“@Teslarati I don’t think this is accurate”
“@electricfuture5 We face a tough dichotomy of applying resources to the old architecture or applying them to the new. It’s not a question of money. If there was a “great engineer” factory, we would place a large order! Unfortunately, great engineers are very rare. This is solved in the FSD build.”
“@enn_nafnlaus There are sketchy edits to Tesla wiki that whitewash Eberhard’s problems/glorify his role. Pretty odd. I was interim CEO/co-CEO from July 2007. Michael Marks was co-CEO for ~Q4 2007 & Ze’ev Drori for Q1 to ~Q3 2008. After Q3 2008 financing round bust, no choice but to be CEO.”
“@enn_nafnlaus When Eberhard was fired from the Tesla CEO role in mid 2007 for providing false information to me & the board, no one left with him. That says it all.”
“@Erdayastronaut @flcnhvy @PelleBrannvall @Neopork85 @Caspar_Stanley @ErcXspace @MarcusHouseGame @FelixSchlang @C_Bass3d @nickhenning3d @SpaceX @BocaChicaGal SpaceX/Tesla metallurgy & new materials team is next-level”
