“@joshgans We went through the same drama on S & X and almost all confirmed in the end. Will likely be even better for Model 3, as customer satisfaction score post delivery is higher. I worry zero about demand. Just spent all night in the factory, not the showroom.”
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.
“Reason RBC question about Model 3 demand is absurd is that Tesla has roughly half a million reservations, despite no advertising & no cars in showrooms. Even after reaching 5k/week production, it would take 2 years just to satisfy existing demand even if new sales dropped to 0.”
“First, it’s important to know that Tesla is the most shorted (meaning most bet against) stock on the market & has been for a while https://t.co/srEp1tf6ZU https://www.cnbc.com/2018/04/11/tesla-is-the-biggest-short-in-the-us-stock-market.html”
“Please ignore this thread unless you’re interested in a tedious discussion about Tesla stock”
“@ThePhoenixFlare @MKBHD @HyperChangeTV Yeah, news is actually super good. Model S & X are producing major positive cash flow & Model 3 is about to do same.”
“@MKBHD @HyperChangeTV The “dry” questions were not asked by investors, but rather by two sell-side analysts who were trying to justify their Tesla short thesis. They are actually on the *opposite* side of investors. HyperChange represented actual investors, so I switched to them.”
“@drgitlin Your numbers are incorrect. Tesla Fremont is 3rd in world after a 🇳🇱🌸 place & 🇦🇪 mall. Giga will be largest when complete. https://t.co/pTMJ2QcoHk”

“@timkhiggins Yes, excessive automation at Tesla was a mistake. To be precise, my mistake. Humans are underrated.”
“@TheEconomist The Economist used to be boring, but smart with a wicked dry wit. Now it’s just boring (sigh). Tesla will be profitable & cash flow+ in Q3 & Q4, so obv no need to raise money.”
“@Taysh83 @Tesla Sorry, demand has been higher than expected. Making them as fast as possible, but waitlist is 3 to 6 months.”
“@BenMcLeish @Tesla Looking into it. This is bizarre.”
“@AshleyEsqueda @petesjca @monitron @Tesla Should be fully fixed within the next few days”
“@srinivasguduru @mathetes76 @monitron @Tesla Definitely. Will take corrective action immediately. Sorry about this.”
“@mathetes76 @monitron @Tesla Looking into it now”
“@monitron @Tesla Should just be due to your config not avail yet. If not lmk.”
“@razemfrazem @bvledford @Tesla Similar timing”
“@bvledford @Tesla So probably July”
“@bvledford @Tesla We need to achieve 5k/week with Model 3 before adding complexity that would inhibit production ramp”
“Upgraded SpaceX/Tesla Hyperloop pod speed test soon. Will try to reach half speed of sound (and brake) within ~1.2km.”
“@teslatidbits @Tesla We will add a feature to allow request of latest software version”
“Most people don’t know there’s a whole box of Easter eggs with every Tesla. Just tap logo on center screen & wait. Easy access to most of discovered ones. More coming …”
“@amir About a year ago, I asked Doug to manage both engineering & production. He agreed that Tesla needed eng & prod better aligned, so we don’t design cars that are crazy hard to build. Right now, tho, better to divide & conquer, so I’m back to sleeping at factory. Car biz is hell …”
“@amir Can’t believe you’re even writing about this. My job as CEO is to focus on what’s most critical, which is currently Model 3 production. Doug, who I regard as one of the world’s most talented engineering execs, is focused on vehicle engineering.”
“@vegamontesino @NoceraBV @WSJ @Tesla We release as soon as we have the data. Good timeline, bad timing. Doesn’t matter.”
“@NoceraBV @WSJ @Tesla Not criticizing, just as asking questions. I’m sure there’s a really great answer …”
“@WSJ Tesla policy is to issue a recall *before* there are injuries. This is absolutely the right thing to do. Yet there were dozens of recalls by other car companies last month, incl w injuries & deaths, but you only wrote an article about Tesla. Why so?”
“@OmarHoryy @TeslaMotorsClub Seriously! Obviously, I’m not going to do an April Fool’s joke about going bankwupt if I thought there was any chance it would actually happen (sigh).”
“@TeslaMotorsClub Lot of respect for NTSB, but NHTSA regulates cars, not NTSB, which is an advisory body. Tesla releases critical crash data affecting public safety immediately & always will. To do otherwise would be unsafe.”
“@Teslarati @13ericralph31 @w00ki33 Oh yeah, forgot to mention it actually landed fine, just not on Mr Steven https://t.co/HckB2OkJ5L”
“@vreeman Coming soon to Tesla merch. Free shots in stores every April 1st.”
“Elon was found passed out against a Tesla Model 3, surrounded by "Teslaquilla" bottles, the tracks of dried tears still visible on his cheeks. This is not a forward-looking statement, because, obviously, what's the point? Happy New Month! https://t.co/YcouvFz6Y1”
“Tesla Goes Bankrupt Palo Alto, California, April 1, 2018 -- Despite intense efforts to raise money, including a last-ditch mass sale of Easter Eggs, we are sad to report that Tesla has gone completely and totally bankrupt. So bankrupt, you can't believe it.”
“There are many chapters of bankruptcy and, as critics so rightly pointed out, Tesla has them *all*, including Chapter 14 and a half (the worst one).”
“@teslainventory Guaranteed to be Flamethrower-proof!”
“@TeslaMotorsClub It’s not a political statement and I didn’t do this because someone dared me to do it. Just don’t like Facebook. Gives me the willies. Sorry.”
“@tomkiss Probably mid next year before we are able to make RHD. Wish it could be sooner. Maybe try a Model S, used or new in the meantime? Used S is better than a new 3 imo, unless you want a smaller car.”
