“Tesla autonomous driving might spread faster than any technology ever. The hardware foundations have been laid for such a long time that a software update enables self-driving for millions of pre-existing cars in a short period of time. [@SawyerMerritt] Comparison of Tesla's vs Waymo's Robotaxi geofence map in Austin, Texas. Today, @Tesla expanded their geofence area for the first time in two months.”

“Only way to learn the world [@SawyerMerritt] Elon: Tesla’s Optimus robot has a world model for training. (Optimus learned the tasks below directly from human videos)”

“Cybertruck is an APC from the future [@jamesdouma] Today I spent 7 hours relaxing to music in my indestructible high performance all terrain luxury robot APC while the earth put on a show of landscapes, downpours, and rainbows. I love @cybertruck.”

“Tesla Model Y robotaxi service now available in the greater Austin area! [@robotaxi] Now available in even more of Austin”

“Download the Tesla Robotaxi app [@SawyerMerritt] NEWS: Tesla has updated their Robotaxi app. What's new: • New tips section, which displays how many seats are available in the car, tells you that the vehicle lights will pulse on arrival and that Tesla may use interior cabin camera to ensure safety • Darker appearance •”

“True [@Scobleizer] When a video like this drops I watch what the Tesla community says about it. Most are missing that this means the Robotaxi network will operate 24 hours a day. If you get out of a bar at 2 a.m. and a dirty one arrives you'll refuse it, and wait for another, which will take an…)”

“The point of AI Day is to show the immense depth & breadth of Tesla in AI, compute hardware & robotics”

“Jensen rocks! [@cb_doge] "Elon Musk is just an extraordinary engineer, and I love working with him. We're going to build many more computers together. I'm delighted to be working with him. I think the Optimus opportunity is just right around the corner. It's very likely that human robots are going to be… https://x.com/i/web/status/2006676783991787563”

“Your Tesla self-driving capability will see a step change improvement as we integrate upgrades for the Austin robotaxi build into the general production release”

“Cool [@SawyerMerritt] William Blair analyst Jed Dorsheimer on riding in @Tesla's Robotaxi service in Austin last week: "We experienced a glimpse of the future, and it is exciting. The comparisons are immediate and stark—when we drove past Waymo and Zoox vehicles outfitted with their complex sensor”

“Version 14 of Tesla self-driving feels sentient [@ray4tesla] William Blair analyst is impressed by his Robotaxi rides and says “felt a lot more like a person was driving it” while Waymo rides still feel somewhat robotic.”

“Cool [@Scobleizer] A @tesla Robotaxi drove me home tonight. I left my car at @UnpluggedTesla. I hit a pothole very hard and it broke something. Yikes. I was even looking at the road during this and didn’t see it in time. @waymo doesn’t yet come to either place. An empty freeway let me see the”

“The best real-world AI is @Tesla_AI. You can sense the sentience. [@bradsferguson] NVIDIA’s Director of Robotics comments on Tesla Self Driving v14 describes FSD as… “an AI that passes the Physical Turing Test” “magical””

“@heyitsyashu I am uncomfortable growing Tesla to be a leader in AI & robotics without having ~25% voting control. Enough to be influential, but not so much that I can’t be overturned. Unless that is the case, I would prefer to build products outside of Tesla. You don’t seem to understand…”

“When a Neuralink is combined with Optimus robot limbs, the Luke Skywalker solution can become real. https://t.co/Tr5Pa4Xfte https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_PNU84bbass”

““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”

“The Tesla Robotaxi service area is already larger than any competitors in Austin and the Bay Area [@SawyerMerritt] Tesla’s Robotaxi service in Austin launched just 55 days ago (not 4 months), and since then the geofenced area has already expanded 4x. The in-car safety monitor has limited controls to stop the vehicle if needed, but they are not actually driving it. I’d much rather see Tesla”

“Try the new Grok Imagine [@tetsuoai] Goodnight, X. Grok Imagine image/video prompt 👇 image prompt: Extreme close-up of a single Tesla Optimus Gen 2 robot's black glass faceplate. The reflection in the curved glass shows the reflection of thousands of other robots standing in rows. A small red status light blinks… https://x.com/i/web/status/2001908961445105780”

“@Kristennetten It’s not about “compensation”, but about me having enough influence over Tesla to ensure safety if we build millions of robots. If I can just get kicked out in the future by activist shareholder advisory firms who don’t even own Tesla shares themselves, I’m not comfortable with”

“@tim_zaman @itsclivetime Super exciting work happening at Tesla in AI software, chip design & robots!”

“@AJamesMcCarthy @WholeMarsBlog Correct. Truly shameful of the media to dredge up an injury from two years ago due to a simple industrial Kuka robot arm (found in all factories) and imply that it is due to Optimus now.”

“@chazman Provided our vehicle AI computer is able to run the model, Tesla will probably have the most amount of true usable inference compute on Earth. Even in a robotaxi future, the cars will only be used for ~1/3 of hours/week, leaving 2/3 for distributed inference, like SETI.”

“@SawyerMerritt He has the wrong frame of reference. Tesla is an AI/robotics company.”

“@heydave7 The automakers keep being told that this isn’t real or that just buying some hardware from Nvidia will solve it. As Tesla robotaxis become widespread and their other solutions don’t work, they will naturally turn to us.”

“@NicklasNilsso14 Tesla is an AI/robotics company that appears to many to be a car company”

“@alex_avoigt Tesla is an AI/robotics and sustainable energy company”

“@teslaownersSV @Gfilche @robotaxi Waiting on regulatory approvals, but probably in a month or two”

“@SawyerMerritt @JoeTegtmeyer @robotaxi @Tesla The Tesla Robotaxi fleet in Austin should roughly double next month”

“@EPavlic @breckyunits @bchesky Just leaving Tesla engineering offices in Palo Alto. Mostly good, some bad. The future is going to be wild. There will be so many robots …”

“@TeslaBoomerMama @teslaownersSV Just fyi I don’t have personal loans at this time against Tesla stock. Also, the taxes on the options are ~45%, so net gain in voting control is more like 4%. It is worrying in that I don’t want to build millions of robots and then potentially be ousted by activists and”

“@wintonARK Cybertrucks and Optimus robots”

“@Teslarati @ResidentSponge It is an electronics/mechanical/software engineering problem for the Neuralink device that is similar in complexity level to smart watches (which are not easy!), plus the surgical robot, which is comparable to state-of-the art CNC machines. No need for AI/ NN/ML quite yet.”

“@SawyerMerritt It does this every day in our Palo Alto lab. And multiple Optimus robots walk around the office 24/7 with no one watching over them, charging themselves as needed.”

“RT @Tesla_Optimus: Domo Arigato Mr. Roboto https://t.co/l043DatPmO”

“@CernBasher This will substantially reduce the need for driver attention, but some complex intersections, heavy weather or unusual events will still require attention. Note, the Austin robotaxi FSD build is ~6 months more advanced than what is available in cars in America and there are”

“@PeterDiamandis Optimus is a very sophisticated robot. It will be immensely difficult to get the cost to $20k. Not easy at all, but it will eventually happen. Production volume needs to be above 1M/year for that. Price will be driven by demand, but eventually even price will get to ~$20k.”

“@teslaownersSV No, but Robotaxi will look like the future”

“@EffinZach The robots are coming anyway, as Boston Dynamics videos clearly show. I will not be able to ensure that robots made by other companies are safe, but I can try my best to do so at Tesla.”

“@Kristennetten Robots will build robots one day. Seems inevitable, whether Tesla does it or not.”

“@ray4tesla These mentally unstable assholes might try to sabotage robotaxi”

“RT @SawyerMerritt: Here is my experience in one of the first public nighttime @Tesla Robotaxi rides. It was smooth, comfortable and just a…”

“RT @SawyerMerritt: That's a wrap! In the last 36 hours, I've taken a total of 20 @Tesla Robotaxi rides and traveled 92 miles. No interventi…”

“RT @Tesla: First @robotaxi experiences in thread below”

“RT @Tesla_AI: Hello world, meet @robotaxi”

“RT @Tesla: We’re Tesla We make robots They come in many shapes and forms”

“RT @SawyerMerritt: Clip of my Tesla Robotaxi ride in Austin tonight. I took two rides: Ride 1: • 3 miles • 12 minutes • $3.96 for the who…”

“@AdamLowisz @DonutOperator Not sure what the status of Illinois is. A pretty good guide is that if Waymo is operating somewhere, then regulations allow robotaxi in that city or state. Tesla will operate there as soon as we reaffirm safety testing in that locale and receive a license to operate.”

“RT @Teslaconomics: My Tesla Robotaxi avoids running over a peacock https://t.co/aUCu0dD5lq”

“RT @Tesla: Guys … What if the taxis were … robots”

“@spacesudoer @DOGE Robot cars (aka FSD) should have a noticeable effect in 1 to 2 years”
