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.
“@SamTwits Founding story of Tesla as portrayed by Eberhard is patently false. I wish I had never met him. Eberhard is by far the worst person I’ve ever worked with in my entire career. Given how many people I’ve worked with over the years, that’s really saying something …”
“@teslaownersSV Starship V4 will have 42 engines when 3 more Raptors are added to a significantly longer ship. That will fly in 2027. Starship V3 is a massive upgrade from the current V2 and should be through production and testing by end of year, with heavy flight activity next year.”
“@PPathole @Tesla Reducing traffic fatalities by 90% seems likely, perhaps ultimately by over 99%”
“@28delayslater @thirdrowtesla Exactly. Moreover, all hospitals were given exact specifications of Resmed & Philips ventilators before delivery & all confirmed they would be critical.”
“RT @Teslaconomics: I don’t know about you guys, but this is how I have my coffee in the morning ☕️ https://t.co/3vm0B7ynsH”
“@Teslarati Connected, autonomous cars require great software. Advanced factories also require great software. The car industry is not very good at software.”
“Model 3 will be RWD, with dual motor AWD optional. Even RWD will have great traction on ice due to fast torque response of Tesla drivetrain.”
“@Teslarati Autopilot active crash prevention keeps getting better, as we examine every crash for improvement & then upload smarter software. Ironically, I hope we’re never on the list!”
“@PPathole @Erdayastronaut @Teslarati Yes, will also show real-time changes to max acceleration, braking, cornering, speed on gradient & range, latter factoring in route elevation changes & cargo or tow mass & drag impact”
“@WhatsupFranks … while simultaneously leading Tesla to be the world’s most valuable car company (Model Y is the selling vehicle on Earth) and SpaceX to be the world’s most valuable space company (~80% of all payload to orbit last year). Whatever I’m doing, I should obviously keep doing it!”
“Will allow having your car picked up & dropped off or using mobile Tesla Rangers service vans if car lift isn’t needed”
“To be clear, integrated solar tiles only make financial sense for new houses or replacement roofs. If your roof is more than 5 years away from replacement, solar retrofit is recommended https://t.co/mDoPO17YB9 http://Tesla.com/solar”
“@WholeMarsBlog Tesla has great respect for software engineering, they do not”
“@SP_LimitReviews @Tesla @CodingMark @Manic_Marge @teslainventory @WholeMarsBlog Lot of good work happening on Tesla sound codec & audio software in general. Aiming for maximum music dopamine in your brain!”
“@teslaownersSV @jasontallman @YouTube I bounce around WSJ, NYT, BBC, Bloomberg, WaPo & twitter generally. Better to follow individual journalists than publications, as there is a wide range of quality.”
“@jamesdouma The FSD software update next month will be a major step-change improvement for rare conditions”
“RT @Tesla: The fabergé egg of cars ✨ https://t.co/RSdwFcm2NE”
“@farzyness Having a vast fleet of cars for FSD Autopilot training is a massive Tesla advantage. Essential for the hundreds of millions of unusual situations cars encounter on roads every year.”
“@SawyerMerritt @coffeetabletsla When I arrived in Montreal at age 17, I only had three things: $2500, one bag of clothes and one bag of books”
“@PPathole @ericrihlmann @Tesla @nbcsnl @TimesSquareNYC @nycgov It pretty much looks like this”
“@SawyerMerritt @Tesla For now, supply is too low, but ordering a Powerwall by itself should be possible end of year”
“@teslaownersSV Qualifying for the ~$20k car is extremely rare, but the $7500 credit applies to the vast majority of electric vehicle buyers (across all manufacturers)”
“@TeslaBoomerMama Good idea. He is a big fan of manufacturing in America and Teslas have the most American content of any cars!”
“@Gfilche @freshjiva No guarantees, but I think it will. This is a big part of what I meant by Tesla’s long-term competitive advantage being manufacturing technology.”
“@TimSweeneyEpic The Tesla AI4 computer that understands the vast complexities of driving in the real world is only ~1/4 the power of an H100. That is what leads me to this conclusion.”
“@niccruzpatane Looks like we can bring power consumption down closer to 250 Watts, which is a big deal for Optimus. Important to note that AI5 is a specialized inference chip for the Tesla AI software. That said, it will perform – for our purposes – much better than anything else available.”
“@WholeMarsBlog One more production release of pure vision this week, then FSD beta 9 a week or two later. V9.0 FSD is also pure vision. Foundational improvements are immense.”
“@Teslaconomics It will be a very hard climb to 10X output. Doable, but it is an immense amount of work.”
“@Jason @Tesla Actually, it’s 1 of 3 forward cameras in rear view mirror assembly. External cameras will auto-activate in future if car is damaged while parked.”
“@WholeMarsBlog The probability of Tesla dying in 2008/2009 was very high. We closed our financing round at 6pm on Dec 24th – the last working hour of the last day before Tesla would otherwise bounce payroll.”
“RT @SawyerMerritt: NEWS: The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police have started to receive their new fleet of 10 Tesla Cybertrucks, upfitted by @Up…”
“@RationalEtienne @balajis Sonic, the Hedgehog, game coming to all Teslas!”
“@Teslarati @13ericralph31 Earth has been and will be smashed super hard by meteors over time. Not a question of if, just when.”
“@SawyerMerritt Ethan is very talented, but “vision chief” would be overstating things. There are over 200 excellent engineers in the Tesla AI/Autonomy team. Tesla’s pace of progress with autonomy is accelerating. The talent war for AI is the craziest talent war I’ve ever seen!”
“@ray4tesla Some of them are indeed doing so – we’re well aware. Part of the value of having our own hardware is that our software will only run on that specific hardware, warts & all. As with Apple, you can’t just copy the code or unpack the binaries. You need their hardware too.”
“Very funny post of a Tesla owner test driving a gasoline car http://t.co/Tq2vNM5UnG http://teslaclubsweden.se/test-drive-of-a-petrol-car/”
“@DimaZeniuk @truth_tesla That’s a low bar. Carmakers have never valued software engineering highly, although VW is trying to change that. I personally wrote software for 20 years & have huge respect for software engineers. Tesla is on par with best software companies & is leader in real world AI.”
“@teslaownersSV @woonomic @VaibhavSisinty But if he was actually capable of creating a company like Tesla, he would have done so after he was fired for lying outrageously about cost & progress of Roadster in mid 2007. We would’ve lost at least a few talented people if he was the real deal, but we lost no one.”
“@MeetLuis @WARREZ420 @WholeMarsBlog Rawlinson was never chief engineer. He arrived after Model S prototype was made, left before things got tough & was only ever responsible for body engineering, not powertrain, battery, software, production or design.”
“RT @teslaownersSV: "I will fight to my last drop of blood to ensure that 🇺🇸 remains the land of freedom and opportunity” Elon Musk https:/…”
“@teslaownersSV I might be getting to the point where I’ve overseen the construction of a wider range of manufacturing systems than anyone. Managing a global supply chain is also very difficult and underrated. Tactics wins battles, but logistics (supply chain) wins wars.”
“@DavidSacks Tesla was insanely messed up at its founding, but is now worth ~$750B. Also, while I have immense respect for Peter’s intellect, he did explicitly pass on funding Tesla at a $70M valuation, despite being offered priority.”
“@TeslaTruckClub Of course”
“@cleantechnica Model 3 body design could def be less complex, but, yes, most of weight difference is due to higher safety vs other cars”
“@FutureJurvetson @Tesla @karpathy Pretty wild”
“@999BPM @tesla_adri @WholeMarsBlog No amount of money can defy physics”
“RT @tesla_semi: First Semi off high volume line https://t.co/fI1AdQrJFH”
“@teslaownersSV My neural net (aka gut feel) prediction of the future was negative if I didn’t buy Twitter, but positive if I did, so had to be done.”
“@karpathy Same happens with Tesla FSD. I forget that most people on Earth have no idea cars can drive themselves.”
“@StephenNellis @Tesla Nvidia makes great hardware. High respect for Jensen & company. Our hardware needs were just unique & matched tightly to our software.”
