“The Tesla Truck will have dual motor all-wheel drive w crazy torque & a suspension that dynamically adjusts for load. Those will be standard.”

“What would you love to see in a Tesla pickup truck? I have a few things in mind, but what do you think are small, but important nuances & what would be seriously next level?”
“@EV20018 @justwidle2 @Tesla “Virtue signaling” is super annoying & there are lots of phoneys who are actually huge jerks, but jump on every social cause du jour. But I’m really proud of the fact that # of changes Tesla had to make to achieve 100/100 (before even knowing about the LGBTQ index) was zero.”
“@justwidle2 @Tesla Don’t buy our car if that’s a problem. People should be free to live their lives where their heart takes them ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤💖🌈”
“@justwidle2 @Tesla Then you will really hate that Tesla scored 100/100 four years in a row on LGBTQ equality https://t.co/AzwWIhpyLW https://mobile.twitter.com/tesla/status/941415742523584512?lang=en”
“@xkcdComic This doesn’t take into account shifting trillions of tons of carbon from subsurface to atmosphere, which could accelerate overheating time by a factor of a million (or so). This is why Tesla.”
“@DMC_Ryan @tkraenze @Tesla Good news coming soon”
“@DMC_Ryan @tkraenze @Tesla Critical autonomous safety features like emergency braking are standard, but convenience features like active cruise control are not”
“@FredericLambert Cyborg Dragon Tesla almost done”
“Tesla Semi Truck in Mad Max Mode https://t.co/hL5v9rikhW https://x.com/jongold/status/931700690195324928”
“@Scobleizer @Trace_Cohen Expanding the tour soon. So many cool things to see. Tesla car factory has 3rd largest footprint of any building on Earth. Maybe 1st if you include all our sweet tents ⛺️😜”
“Tesla factory rn https://t.co/EbgRDhRZ0m”
“@DMC_Ryan @Kotaku @Tesla Thanks 🖤”
“@Model3Owners Was thinking of offering an extended Tesla factory tour option where you could help build part of a car & understand how they come together. I know it would have been super fun for me when I was a kid (or now).”
“@ddkilzer @wk057 @Tesla We will add a config to lower the alert”
“@wk057 @Tesla Apply light force to the steering wheel. Alert is being changed to this text.”
“@cfarivar There is more, but the actions of a few bad apples will not stop Tesla from reaching its goals. With 40,000 people, the worst 1 in 1000 will have issues. That’s still ~40 people.”
“@TopDutchCom @pascal_munz @Zuckerberger @horn To be clear, Tesla European Headquarters will remain in Netherlands”
“@AntVenom @cfarivar @amendlocke You’re probably right. Maybe after Tesla drama calms down.”
“@cfarivar @loosecoosebbq @akrdu2 @Tesla @Fremont_CA Will maybe do a media tour next week. Team deserves recognition. This was miraculous.”
“@maysacha @JayPrisefighter @cfarivar Not sure we actually need a building. This tent is pretty sweet. Tesla Grohmann line is in place at Giga & spooling up now. They super kicked ass too. Heiliger Strohsack!”
“@cfarivar Needed another general assembly line to reach 5k/week Model 3 production. A new building was impossible, so we built a giant tent in 2 weeks. Tesla team kfa!! Gah, love them so much ♥️🚘💫”
“@cfarivar @amendlocke Dude, we are California, which is extremely pro union. People can form a union tomorrow & nothing Tesla could do to stop it. UAW can’t even get enough sigs to request a vote, cause they have nothing to offer.”
“@goombar3 We’ve always provided healthcare, hourly wages above union & Tesla stock. Also, free drinks & snacks. Try to make it fun too. Top ten hourly workers cumulatively received Tesla stock now worth $1M to $2M. Nobody wants UAW, so UAW keeps trashing Tesla & me via 3rd parties.”
“@TeslaCharts I don’t want to see anyone lose their money. Or I will at least provide fair warning before it happens, as I have done in the past.”
“Well said https://t.co/lDPaIPLLzO https://m.dailykos.com/stories/2018/5/29/1767826/-The-War-on-Tesla-Musk-and-the-Fight-for-the-Future”
“@TeslaCharts Then you’ll be fine”
“@indiemusicfan9 @dimas_______ @Robotbeat @doctorow ...which clearly doesn’t work. UAW and Wall Street shorts know every detail of what’s happening at Tesla. Storm clouds are gathering, so they’re getting desperate.”
“@indiemusicfan9 @dimas_______ @Robotbeat @doctorow More propaganda. The NDA only prevents disclosure of Tesla proprietary IP or material non-public information (insider trading).”
“@TeslaCharts How big is your short position? Just curious.”
“@doctorow I endorse freedom to form a union too, as well as freedom not to do so if they feel Tesla is a good company. UAW has major conflicts of interest & failed our car plant already when they abandoned us in 2010. Tesla can only hire 5% of applicants, so must be doing something right.”
“@dimas_______ @Robotbeat @doctorow UAW doesn’t have 30% of signatures (about 6000 people) needed for a vote. They can’t even muster enough people for a free bbq. Instead, they’re getting paid trolls & far left shills to trash Tesla & me in press & social media. Such creeps.”
“@TheSithSeth @doctorow I’m not against all unions, but UAW has a track record of destroying productivity so a company can’t compete on world market. Our current factory went bankrupt under UAW before we took it over. Don’t want Tesla to die too.”
“@doctorow Iain certainly wasn’t pro-union in the Culture books. At all. And wouldn’t be in the case of Tesla. Banks was about freedom through & through. Maybe for a single buyer (monopsony) vs single seller (monopoly), I would be too, but that’s a special case.”
“@AbeDurrani @NelStamp @RRescenko @peterthiel I disagree with that goal & gave away Tesla patents to help other companies https://t.co/HPK5R5UMS6 https://www.tesla.com/blog/all-our-patent-are-belong-you”
“Amazing work by Tesla team. Built entire new general assembly line in 3 weeks w minimal resources. Love u guys so much! Pic of 1st Model 3 dual motor performance coming off the line … https://t.co/Xr55P3fmGd”
“@FredericLambert Already sold >$100M TSLA for charity. Will do about that every few years. Major disbursements in about 20 years when Tesla is steady state.”
“@korihale @Tesla @CultureBanx @Forbes We use less than 3% cobalt in our batteries & will use none in next gen”
“Difficult, but necessary Tesla reorg underway. My email to the company has already leaked to media. Here it is unfiltered: https://t.co/4LToWoxScx”
“@Off_thewalls @MKBHD @joerogan A lot of people whose judgment I respect have suggested this. Sounds like a good idea. Will do so after Model 3 production reaches 5k/week steady.”
“@LanceUlanoff Intent of new Tesla Roadster is to beat gas sports cars on every performance metric by far, no exceptions, thus transferring the “halo crown” effect gas cars have as the top speed leaders over to pure electric.”
“@anandrajk @lexiheft @Tesla That issue is better in latest Autopilot software rolling out now & fully fixed in August update as part of our long-awaited Tesla Version 9. To date, Autopilot resources have rightly focused entirely on safety. With V9, we will begin to enable full self-driving features.”
“@FredericLambert That’s quite a blast from the past! After my Zip2 experience w patents, I felt that patents (particularly software) inhibited innovation, instead of fostering it. I aspired to file zero patents after that. In 2014, we open-sourced all Tesla patents https://t.co/HPK5R5UMS6 https://www.tesla.com/blog/all-our-patent-are-belong-you”
“19 years ago, when my 1st company got bought, I had to decide between buying a house in Palo Alto or a McLaren F1 (best car ever imo). Was no contest. I bought F1 & a small condo that was much cheaper than the car. New Tesla Roadster will exceed all gas sports cars in every way…”
“SpaceX option package for new Tesla Roadster will include ~10 small rocket thrusters arranged seamlessly around car. These rocket engines dramatically improve acceleration, top speed, braking & cornering. Maybe they will even allow a Tesla to fly …”
“@teslamarcus1 Coming soon”
“@teslaology @DMC_Ryan @Tesla We’re building out Tesla body repair in all major metro areas to ensure super fast & excellent outcome”
“@DMC_Ryan Talked with Tesla team. Looks like we can do the aluminum Model 3 pedal covers (slightly different from S). Turning on production for Model 3 Performance version.”
“@DMC_Ryan No plans for aluminum pedals. Adds too much production complexity. Model 3 will def have summon, which will get way more advanced for S & X w HW2 Autopilot & all Model 3 cars.”
“@jovanik21 @Tesla Working on improving”
