“Oh and it works in all AI4-equipped cars, so your car can do office work for you when not driving. We’re also deploying millions of dedicated Digital Optimus units in the field at Superchargers where we have ~7 gigawatts of available power.”

“We *def* don't recommended this, but Model S floats well enough to turn it into a boat for short periods of time. Thrust via wheel rotation.”
““Hey Optimus, how was your day?” Kawaii Robot Anime character baking in retro vintage kitchen, light streaming through window, cute frilly apron, watercolor wash https://t.co/FtIASScwGv”
“New Model S has 370 mile / 595 km range”
“Model Y, being an SUV, is about 10% bigger than Model 3, so will cost about 10% more & have slightly less range for same battery”
“Grok can understand video [@AdamLowisz] I used @Grok on your Davos speech. I wanted to find a clip of a specific portion where you talk about using Optimus to help the elderly. My grandmother recently fell and broke her hip. Grok found the exact timestamp for me. 🫡”
“@CathieDWood We aren’t cutting the price of Model 3 to $25k. I was referring to a future car that will be smaller than Model 3.”
“Model 3 arriving in UK”
“We could put Optimus in a cute outfit too :)”
“Looks like we can reach 20,000 Model 3 cars per month in Dec”
“@BigImpactHumans Looks cute, we should probably try this out. For sure with Optimus!”
“@Amart15416132 @WSJ Your research as a private individual is better than professionals @WSJ! Data logs recovered so far show Autopilot was not enabled & this car did not purchase FSD. Moreover, standard Autopilot would require lane lines to turn on, which this street did not have.”
“FSD Beta has now been expanded to ~2000 owners & we’ve also revoked beta where drivers did not pay sufficient attention to the road. No accidents to date. Next significant release will be in April. Going with pure vision — not even using radar. This is the way to real-world AI.”
“@WholeMarsBlog We could’ve made a 600 mile Model S 12 months ago, but that would’ve made the product worse imo, as 99.9% of time you’d be carrying unneeded battery mass, which makes acceleration, handling & efficiency worse. Even our 400+ mile range car is more than almost anyone will use.”
“Wow, lot of interest in FSD beta! Plan is to roll out version 10.2 midnight Friday, then on-ramp ~1000 owners/day, prioritized by safety rating.”
“Model X as it should be shown https://t.co/lpog2ejWQK https://www.instagram.com/p/BzhWjnZgQSj/?igshid=ly4ynqxne44p”
“Model S smashes into semi truck trailer and lifts it off the ground. Driver walks away. https://t.co/NSuMvcYaA6 https://x.com/electrekco/status/803722017560104960”
“Handover party for first 30 customer Model 3's on the 28th! Production grows exponentially, so Aug should be 100 cars and Sept above 1500.”
“@cleantechnica Model 3 was top-selling car in US by revenue despite no advertising, no paid endorsements & no discounts. Competitors spent billions on marketing. Model 3 was product alone.”
“@WholeMarsBlog All US cars that are capable of FSD will be enabled for a one month trial this week”
“Good sign that almost no Model 3 owners want to sell their cars!”
“Model Y production for east coast too”
“To activate the Model X holiday performance, just type holidays or ModelXmas after pressing the logo. Also, Mars. https://t.co/8Cy7YPlECX”
“I highly recommend the new all glass roof on the Model S. This was very hard to develop, but it makes the interior feel amazing. https://t.co/ob7lqrXP4n”
“Chip design review continues tomorrow, followed by Optimus demo review”
“@WholeMarsBlog As mentioned earlier, v11.4.1 has major architectural improvements. It’s actually much more than a point release. Should arguably be v12.0, but that’s reserved for when FSD is fully AI from video in to control out.”
“And, because electricity costs much less than gasoline, a Model 3 can cost about $1000 less per year to operate. Because it’s electric, there are no oil changes, smog checks, tuneups, fuel filter, or brake pad replacements.”
“Model 3 design sketches https://t.co/P5ucOBRUZ7”
“@BLKMDL3 Haha, FSD 9 beta is shipping soon, I swear! Generalized self-driving is a hard problem, as it requires solving a large part of real-world AI. Didn’t expect it to be so hard, but the difficulty is obvious in retrospect. Nothing has more degrees of freedom than reality.”
“Set air flow to recirculating mode & manually raise blower speed to 5 in Model 3 for best air quality. Air filters are smaller than S/X, so clear air is achieved by circulating through filter several times.”
“@TSLAFanMtl @alex_avoigt How do I know if you’re a real cat?”
“.@NHTSAgov will post final safety probability stats soon. Model 3 has a shot at being safest car ever tested.”
“Looks like the Model S P100D Easter egg will allow it to do 0 to 60 mph in 2.4 sec and a 10.6 sec 1/4 mile via software update next month”
“@imPenny2x AI4 by itself will achieve self-driving safety levels very far above human. AI5 will make the cars almost perfect and greatly enhance Optimus. AI6 will be for Optimus and data centers. AI7/Dojo3 will be space-based AI compute.”
“The FSD price will continue to rise as the software gets closer to full self-driving capability with regulatory approval. It that point, the value of FSD is probably somewhere in excess of $100,000.”
“Cool Model 3 review by @iamjamiefoxx https://t.co/hJDD7BjkE3 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tB15Da2TRWw&feature=youtu.be”
“@WholeMarsBlog HW4 software will lag HW3 by at least another six months, as our focus needs to be on getting FSD on HW3 working super well and provided internationally.”
“@WholeMarsBlog This variant of the Model Y doesn’t start production in the US until the end of next year. Might not ever, given the advent of self-driving in America.”
“@rough__sea Yes. Optimus will be the first Von Neumann machine, capable of building civilization by itself on any viable planet.”
“Thought it would slow way down today, but Model 3 order count is now at 198k. Recommend ordering soon, as the wait time is growing rapidly.”
“Great Model Y review by @jayleno https://t.co/DzsZ7eugWp https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cH79SuivdAQ”
“@WholeMarsBlog We need to predict what pedestrians will do based on their behavior, including limb angle & direction of sight. FSD currently sees all pedestrians as cuboids, so is overly cautious. Also, diffusion seems to be more compute-efficient than transformers for vision.”
“Driving a Model 3 and playing https://t.co/5xa3FUWuXy https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ErCAOMi5EGM”
“@VanSeedBank I promise that we will make a pickup truck right after Model Y. Have had the core design/engineering elements in my mind for almost 5 years. Am dying to build it.”
“Model 3 Interior https://t.co/fihY06dJLw https://www.instagram.com/p/BXLaVSkAJsk/”
“@WR4NYGov Optimus 4 will be built in Texas at much higher volume”
“UK Model 3 order page goes live next week, followed shortly thereafter by Japan, Australia, New Zealand & Hong Kong”
“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.”
“@vincent13031925 Going through all aspects of next gen Model Y production system with team. Lot of talented people at Giga Berlin. This place will rock!”
“Incredibly inspired by the interest in Model 3. You won't be disappointed. Also, small token of appreciation coming for those who lined up.”
