“@John_Papa @Tesla You should def have a loaner. Will take care of it.”
“@business Incorrect. “Chairman” is an honorific, not executive role, which means it’s not needed to run Tesla. Will retire that title at Tesla in 3 years. 60 Mins edited out end of my sentence, where I said I could do whatever I want. They cut “provided I have the support of shareholders”.”
“Also, Tesla policy is that if you order a car without a test drive you get 3 days to return for full refund vs 1 day if you do get a test drive (resources are overbooked)”
“Important note for US Tesla buyers: Federal tax credit drops by $3750 in 3 weeks. To be on the cancellation waitlist for delivery this year or if you want a display car, order at https://t.co/46TXqRJ3C1 or visit our stores. Full refund if Tesla can’t deliver your car this year. http://Tesla.com”
“Love that people are buying a Tesla for the product itself, even if they don’t believe in climate change. Not everyone can be convinced about global warming, but if an electric car is simply the best product, they don’t need to be.”
“@teslectrics @60Minutes You’re right. There was a ton of footage with many people at Tesla that would be great to share. Longer pieces like we did with @MKBHD tell a more interesting story.”
“@javagiri @Tesla We’re opening a lot of Tesla service centers next year, including Knoxville. Tesla will post upcoming city opening map this week.”
“@fluffypony @Tesla Probably end of next year”
“@ghhaugen Full self-driving option is required with the Tesla designed hardware 3 computer. This is a simple plug in replacement for the NVidia computer, but has over 10X the image processing ability.”
“Already testing traffic lights, stop signs & roundabouts in development software. Your Tesla will soon be able to go from your garage at home to parking at work with no driver input at all.”
“If you have a Tesla built in past 2 years, definitely try Navigate on Autopilot. It will blow your mind. Automatically passes slow cars & takes highway interchanges & off-ramps.”
“Major credit to AC Propulsion for the tzero electric sports car 1997-2003 that inspired Tesla Roadster. Without that, Tesla wouldn’t exist or would have started much later. https://t.co/NxCgYO9JXx”
“@nichegamer Yeah, we wanted to name our company after Tesla, the great scientist/engineer, but use of the Tesla name in automotive was already trademarked in the US, Europe & later China.”
“@brandonorselli Buying https://t.co/46TXqRrsdr took over a decade, $11M & amazing amount of effort. Didn’t like https://t.co/BsRfMrY9Gm even when we were only making 🚘. http://Tesla.com”
“Tesla history trivia: we didn’t actually come up with the Tesla Motors name. Bought trademark off Brad Siewert for $75k in late 2004. He’d originally filed for it in 1994. Our alternative name was Faraday, which was used by a competitor several years later.”
“@Erdayastronaut @TheGledinator @w00ki33 @Teslarati But cool pics of the demo Starship that will fly suborbital hops coming in ~4 weeks”
“@Erdayastronaut @TheGledinator @w00ki33 @Teslarati Yes”
“@Erdayastronaut @TheGledinator @w00ki33 @Teslarati Fairly heavy metal, but extremely strong”
“@Erdayastronaut @TheGledinator @w00ki33 @Teslarati The new design is metal”
“@Erdayastronaut @w00ki33 @Teslarati As far as we know, it’s the largest single piece titanium casting in the world. Major improvement over the old aluminum grid fins, as the titanium doesn’t need heat shielding or even paint.”
“@Jennerator211 @PPathole @JohnnaCrider1 We’re adding police car, fire truck & ambulance to the Tesla neural net in coming months”
“@JohnnaCrider1 Exactly. Default Autopilot behavior, if there’s no driver input, is to slow gradually to a stop & turn on hazard lights. Tesla service then contacts the owner. Looking into what happened here.”
“@EESNY @teslaownersSV @S100Dfan Applying a hydrophobic coating to the radar (located just below nose of car) should help. Easy to do yourself or Tesla service can do it. We’re also working on vision-only driving.”
“@nikesharora @Tesla Glad you’re ok”
“@carpenter_maas Perhaps most telling is that Norway, which is partly above the Arctic Circle, has more Teslas per capita than any other country on Earth.”
“@MatZagataMD @Tesla You got it!”
“@pfierens @LikeTeslaKim Prof Dahn is correct (he’s great), but the relative benefit is small. I’d recommend 10% more SoC for convenience.”
“@LikeTeslaKim Not worth going below 80% imo. Even 90% is still fine. Also, no issue going to 5% or lower SoC.”
“@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/”
“@teslaownersSV Update soon”
“After safety, our goal is to make a Tesla the most fun you could possibly have in a car”
“Super fun software Easter eggs coming to all Tesla S/3/X cars before the holidays! Romance mode, toilet humor & more video games.”
“You can summon your Tesla from your phone. Only short distances today, but in a few years summon will work from across the continent.”
“Cool! Actually, if you buy a Tesla without a test drive, you have 3 days to return it. If you buy after a test drive, you still have 24 hours. Trying to incent buying with no test drive.”
“Join to create exciting new worlds of technology!! If getting things done matters to you, then @SpaceX, @Tesla, @BoringCompany & @Neuralink are the places to be.”
“@jessedh @Tesla Yeah, good idea to offer that as a setting”
“If you don’t want a Tesla, here’s a list of all electric cars in North America https://t.co/phhBjCh2YI via @cleantechnica https://cleantechnica.com/2018/01/07/electric-vehicles-for-sale-usa/”
“@Orangejamal @speceye @Tesla Good one”
“@FredericLambert @speceye @Tesla Good idea”
“@speceye @Tesla Coming soon”
“@wiredprairie @Tesla Shifting resources from sales to service for next several days”
“Tesla Supercharger capacity will double by end of next year. Expect to be within range of 95% to 100% of population in all active markets.”
“@tsrandall @frozencanuck @ScaleyMurrsuit What really matters is time to volume production, not initial market intro. Apart from brief moments, Tesla vehicle production is limited by total battery output.”
“@frozencanuck @ScaleyMurrsuit Lot on our plate, so it’s either get van gliders (no battery, powertrain or compute tech) from Daimler & produce sooner or do all & produce later. Not a big difference to total vehicles produced either way. Priority list is Model Y, solar roof tiles, pickup, semi, Roadster.”
“@LION_LIFER Tesla can provide heating/cooling/lights/music for days using battery”
“@acevedo_lex @stars4a_amy @Tesla Should be possible. Please ask service & lmk response.”
“@WillFealey Ideal situation in breakdown/accident (assuming no injuries) is that Tesla arrives at scene fast with top-of-the-line service loaner”
“Will allow having your car picked up & dropped off or using mobile Tesla Rangers service vans if car lift isn’t needed”
“Adding functionality to Tesla phone app allowing owners to request service for top issues with 1 or 2 taps”
