“Shanghai Giga will produce affordable versions of 3/Y for greater China. All Model S/X & higher cost versions of Model 3/Y will still be built in US for WW market, incl China.”

“@Teslarati The source info is incorrect. Starship & Raptor development is being done out of our HQ in Hawthorne, CA. We are building the Starship prototypes locally at our launch site in Texas, as their size makes them very difficult to transport.”
“@AshleyEsqueda Tesla Car Karaoke hopefully ready in OTA software update version 10. Just played Missile Command, Asteroids & Lunar Lander in V9. Really fun!”
“A midnight amendment, followed by a vigorously opposed subpoena. Someone has been naughty … https://t.co/RJeiNJngGt https://cleantechnica.com/2017/08/22/tesla-wins-battle-war-michigan/”
“@teslaownersSV @Teslarati @JohnnaCrider1 Many small things. We’re starting to make use of neural nets for vehicle navigation & control, not just vision.”
“@teslaownersSV The operating costs of a Tesla are also much lower than a gasoline cruiser!”
“Model 3 is just a smaller, more affordable version of Model S w less range & power & fewer features. Model S has more advanced technology.”
“RT @SawyerMerritt: 0.02% of the entire U.S. population works at Tesla—that’s about 70,000 people. When you buy a @Tesla, you support these…”
“@iliketeslas @WholeMarsBlog Other cars change prices constantly and often by wide margins via dealer markups and manufacturer/dealer incentives. Only a fool thinks the “MSRP” is the real price. Tesla prices must change frequently in order to match production with demand.”
“Tesla announcement goes live at 5pm California time. 30 minutes of media Q&A to follow.”
“@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 …”
“@vkhosla Do some research before you display your utter ignorance. SpaceX gets no subsidies and received half as much as Boeing for astronaut transport, but did 100% of the work. As for Tesla, take a minute to read our public filings and you will see that EV incentives represent a…”
“@cleantechnica Worth noting that, as of Jan 1, Tesla buyers no longer received any federal tax credit. Model 3 led despite this disadvantage.”
“@teslaownersSV He was not on FSD. The software had unfortunately never been downloaded. I say “unfortunately”, because the accident probably would not have happened if FSD had been engaged.”
“@JayinShanghai That math is incorrect, but still a lot of devices per second! I guess if Tesla can reach 20M cars/year, that would be one every ~1.5 seconds!”
“@LordofEa @kerrikgray @chicago_glenn @Tesla @teslaownersSV @dvorahfr @TonyadeVitti @SpaceX @SirineAti Absolutely!”
“@Sofiaan @Tesla Actual Tesla range is about 5 miles / 8 km past zero”
“@teslaownersSV China is an amazing powerhouse of manufacturing and understands very well that solar is the future. It’s just a fact!”
“RT @mikepat711: “Holy shit, Tesla just made a car drive itself from the manufacturing line directly to the home of a customer without a hum…”
“@harald_murphy @SpaceX @Tesla @Jays200 A lot of improvement still coming just from software updates to satellites & terminals”
“Moving the Tesla announcement to Wednesday. Needs a few more days of refinement.”
“Ultimately, it’s just going to be: Input Bitstream -> Feedback -> Output Bitstream Tesla already does the first two steps in the car and has also been able to generate real-world video for a few years. Just need to widen the aperture for a far broader variety of bit IO”
“@SawyerMerritt With the important caveat that initial production is always very slow and follows an S-curve. The speed of the production ramp is inversely proportionate to how many new parts and steps there are. For Cybercab and Optimus, almost everything is new, so the early production… https://t.co/BzDu9pniGo https://x.com/i/web/status/2013751504847433803”
“@jaredpolis @Tesla @kimbal Hi Jared, Colorado is great! I think your policies make a lot of sense.”
“@EricRWeinstein @Tesla @boringcompany @X @xai @SpaceX Consciousness must expand from Earth or face certain extinction in a short amount of time by cosmic standards”
“@aelluswamy Worth hearing about Tesla Autopilot software/AI progress”
“Best analysis of Model 3 to date (German) https://t.co/kCd3qWODiR https://www.wiwo.de/technologie/mobilitaet/elektroauto-zerlegt-tesla-model-3-kann-gewinn-abwerfen/22625806.html”
“@Teslarati @13ericralph31 This will be really important one day. Much is made of meteor impacts that destroyed most life on Earth, but there were far more that “merely” destroyed a continent. Comets (not asteroids) are the real wild card, as we’re only able to track ~4600 out of ~1 trillion.”
“@MarioNawfal Yup. I’d already seen Covid come & go early in 2020 in China. Tesla China had ~20k employees & contractors, yet none died or had near death experiences. While one could debate the accuracy of official statistics, Tesla certainly knew the health status of its own team.”
“@Teslarati Putting Model S in range mode is the opposite of launch mode, as it minimizes performance in favor of range. Show should be called “Low Gear”!”
“Model 3 mid-range EPA rating is actually 264 miles, slightly higher than prior estimate of 260 https://t.co/l4eCpTObAi https://3.tesla.com/model3/design?#battery”
“@ScottAdamsSays @johniadarola @SenWarren I love Dilbert! Use it all the time to illustrate that we’re doing something wrong at Tesla/SpaceX if it could be a Dilbert cartoon irl. This happens more often than I’d like (sigh).”
“@Teslarati I found some footage of the drive https://t.co/TXeLQO9Spr https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=n1lbpj6868o”
“@Teslarati These guys are either shady, 🥜 or both. I mean seriously there’s a long list of companies to pick on before Tesla …”
“@Teslarati Rawlinson didn’t design Model S. Prototype was done before he joined & he left us in the lurch just as things got tough, which was not cool. He did make some contributions to body/chassis engineering, but not to powertrain, battery, electronics or software.”
“@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.”
“@teslaownersSV @WholeMarsBlog Our primary challenge is affordability. Creating an expensive truck is relatively easy. If it is extremely hard to do so for Tesla, despite our much greater economies of scale & better technology, then it is damn near impossible for others.”
“Good summary of Tesla progress in 2018 by @cleantechnica (due to Tesla team, not me though) https://t.co/vZgYts9auG via @cleantechnica https://cleantechnica.com/2018/12/30/2018-was-a-giant-awesome-year-for-tesla-because-elon-musk/”
“@SawyerMerritt Yes. In the (hopefully unlikely) event that Twitter forces this deal to close *and* some equity partners don’t come through, it is important to avoid an emergency sale of Tesla stock.”
“Starting on Monday, Tesla will no longer be taking orders for the 75 kWh version of the Model S & X. If you’d like that version, please order by Sunday night at https://t.co/46TXqRJ3C1 http://Tesla.com”
“RT @unusual_whales: TRUMP: "I will label attacks on Tesla, $TSLA, dealerships as domestic terrorism.... We already know who some of them ar…”
“@coffeetabletsla @Twitter Pick any account with a lot of followers”
“Tesla P85D 0 to 60mph acceleration will improve by ~0.1 sec soon via over-the-air software update to inverter algorithm”
“@teslaownersSV @WholeMarsBlog No, they still refuse to explain how they calculate that 5% of daily users are fake/spam! Very suspicious.”
“@WholeMarsBlog FSD is best in Bay Area, given engineering mostly lives there, but rest of country will soon be at that level”
“@TesLatino @Tesla Still a fair bit of polish to be done on 69.3. It’s a major release posing as a minor release.”
“@electricfuture5 We face a tough dichotomy of applying resources to the old architecture or applying them to the new. It’s not a question of money. If there was a “great engineer” factory, we would place a large order! Unfortunately, great engineers are very rare. This is solved in the FSD build.”
“@teslaownersSV The rate of improvement is accelerating”
“@SamTalksTesla @teslaownersSV @PPathole @RationalEtienne @stevenmarkryan @Kristennetten @WholeMarsBlog Pretty wild, considering that Exxon was the most valuable company in the word when we went public 10 years ago”
“@teslaownersSV I should clarify that Dojo V1 is highly optimized for vast amounts of video training vs general purpose AI. Dojo V2 will address these limitations.”
