The tweet archive.
15 years of Elon, fully searchable. The production archive uses Supabase as the source of truth, with 94,952 indexed tweets available in development as a full-archive fallback and a curated annotation layer for context, theory, and how major claims aged.
“@PPathole @Erdayastronaut @Teslarati Yes, will also show real-time changes to max acceleration, braking, cornering, speed on gradient & range, latter factoring in route elevation changes & cargo or tow mass & drag impact”
“@Erdayastronaut @Teslarati It’s slightly better”
“@Teslarati Btw, in some prior tweets I’d said production Cybertruck would be ~80” wide (vs ~84” body width at unveil). This is slightly too small. Will be closer to 82”, but come standard with upper laser blade lights.”
“@Teslarati Active ride height & active damping are game-changing for a truck or any car with a high max/min weight ratio”
“@_KarenHao @OpenAI All orgs developing advanced AI should be regulated, including Tesla”
“@TeslaGong @_KarenHao @OpenAI I have no control & only very limited insight into OpenAI. Confidence in Dario for safety is not high.”
“Tesla is ramping up Solar Roof installation across the USA! Training will be provided, so no prior experience needed. Apply at https://t.co/84BkZvuBn8 https://www.tesla.com/solarroofjobs”
“Tesla Model S estimated EPA range is now above 390 miles or ~630 km https://t.co/sNFzIkuJpC https://www.tesla.com/models/design#battery”
“@teslaownersSV @fermatslibrary a=F/m is the most fun”
“@teslaownersSV @Tesla Will take action”
“@EVHQ2 @Tesla This does seem high”
“@Teslarati This is incorrect. No air suspension planned for 3/Y. Only S/X & Cybertruck have/will have air suspension.”
“Tesla April company talk will be from our Giga New York factory, where we make SolarGlass & several other products. Will also offer customer & media tours.”
“Should preface this saying that feedback from early Tesla Solar roof owners has been v positive. It’s stunning vs a regular roof in person imo. Photos don’t do it justice.”
“@G_d_Photographr Sounds like we should open a Tesla Center there!”
“Please let us know what improvements we can make to any aspect of Tesla SolarGlass roof! Critical feedback is much appreciated.”
“@Revoeh020 @Tesla Yes, but we want to focus on textured black first, then move into Earth tones & convolutions”
“@SamTalksTesla Your comment above: “Who in their right mind would buy an ICE after 2025 knowing its residual value will be zilch? Legacy auto: go EV or go BUST!” is super important for car buyers. Residual values for gas/diesel cars will plummet in coming years.”
“@SamTalksTesla Europe & China timing will be announced soon”
“@teslaownersSV Many Bay Area installations are ongoing now”
“Hard to believe that is high efficiency solar power seamlessly integrated into beautiful roof tiles. Great work by SolarGlass engineering, Giga NY factory & Tesla installation teams!”
“Order at https://t.co/byFVU5nF9W https://www.tesla.com/solarroof”
“@RationalEtienne @Tesla @kimbal Haha true”
“@Teslarati @13ericralph31 Unmodified water tower machines do not work well for orbital rockets, as mass efficiency is critical for the latter, but not the former. Hopper, for example, was made of 12.5mm steel vs 4mm for SN1 orbital design. Optimized skins will be <2mm in places across a 9000mm diameter.”
“@nextspaceflight @chraveesh @Teslarati No, they’re SN1. SN2 to follow shortly. Aiming to be a little better each time.”
“@chraveesh @Teslarati Yes, we’re tuning weld parameters to reduce puckering & building a heavy duty planisher to flatten & cold work the weld area”
“@Teslarati That said, although substantial capital & engineering is required to achieve extreme precision, marginal production cost of the primary structure should actually be *less* than a water tower, because it’s built inside a factory in volume.”
“@Teslarati This isn’t quite correct. An orbital rocket needs precision that’s 3X to 4X better than a water tower, so super precise parts, fixtures & welding are needed. Suborbital is much more forgiving.”
“@teslaownersSV Yes”
“@justpaulinelol @reto_siegrist @flcnhvy @thirdrowtesla Definitely!”
“@reto_siegrist @flcnhvy @thirdrowtesla Yes”
“@flcnhvy @Tesla @thirdrowtesla Ok sure 😀 Btw, we recruit great engineers from almost anywhere in the world, so this shouldn’t be thought of as USA only. Also, work location can be Bay Area (preferred), but Austin (many of our chip designers are there) or potentially any Tesla Gigafactory.”
“@TeslaGong @indiealexh @mojosusan @BLKMDL3 @ElonsBrain @CathieDWood @ARKInvest Intuitively, that should be straightforward to address, but there could be complexities I’m unaware of”
“@indiealexh @mojosusan @BLKMDL3 @TeslaGong @ElonsBrain @CathieDWood @ARKInvest True, it has general applications beyond fast, high precision micro-electrode insertion that automatically avoids the vasculature”
“@TeslaGong @ElonsBrain @CathieDWood @ARKInvest It will ultimately be used to make up for entire lost sections of the brain due to stroke/accident/congenital. Don’t want to get too excited, but the potential is truly transformational for restoring brain & motor functions. There is no other way to do it imo.”
“@SamTalksTesla A PhD is definitely not required. All that matters is a deep understanding of AI & ability to implement NNs in a way that is actually useful (latter point is what’s truly hard). Don’t care if you even graduated high school.”
“Tesla will hold a super fun AI party/hackathon at my house with the Tesla AI/autopilot team in about four weeks. Invitations going out soon.”
“Tesla will soon have over a million connected vehicles worldwide with sensors & compute needed for full self-driving, which is orders of magnitude more than everyone else combined, giving you the best possible dataset to work with”
““At Tesla, using AI to solve self-driving isn’t just icing on the cake, it the cake” - @lexfridman Join AI at Tesla! It reports directly to me & we meet/email/text almost every day. My actions, not just words, show how critically I view (benign) AI. https://t.co/iF97zvYZRz https://www.tesla.com/autopilotAI”
“@MarcelMeijer @Tesla Yes”
“@thirdrowtesla This number won’t leave me alone! 🤣🤣”
“A friend just sent me this excerpt from a Tesla blog I wrote 14 years ago https://t.co/Hr8w52ithY”
“A Tesla works as a boat for short periods of time, as an electric car has no air intake or exhaust to block & battery/motor/electronics are water-sealed. Submarines are just underwater EVs. https://t.co/1U63ZoVj3q https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cBYFo6fXPvU”
“@IheartTesla @EvaFoxU @Tesla Going with nomenclature of Giga [most widely understood location name] vs Giga #, so Giga Shanghai, Giga Nevada, Giga New York & Giga Berlin”
“@IheartTesla @EvaFoxU @Tesla For sure. Giga Berlin will build sustainable energy vehicles using sustainable energy, so net environmental impact will be extremely positive!”
“@teslaownersSV @Kristennetten @EvaFoxU @Tesla Yes”
“@HarryStoltz1 @EvaFoxU @Tesla Yes”
“@Kristennetten @EvaFoxU @Tesla Exactly!”
“@EvaFoxU @Tesla Giga Berlin / GF4 will absolutely be designed with sustainability and the environment in mind”
