“@Teslarati Sheer magnitude of the entire production system is hard to appreciate. Almost every element of production is >75% automated. Only wire harnesses & general assembly, which are <10% of production costs, are primarily manual.”

“RT @RobertBentley76: All the protests and stories of vandalism to @Tesla service centers and harassment of Tesla owners is insane! Let’s al…”
“@Teslarati Pretty much, although we also sent some Medtronic units, which are meant for extreme situations. Those require a lot of work to set up & operate. Should be used sparingly. SpaceX is making the valve at the heart of that system.”
“@flcnhvy @Tesla @thirdrowtesla Ok sure 😀 Btw, we recruit great engineers from almost anywhere in the world, so this shouldn’t be thought of as USA only. Also, work location can be Bay Area (preferred), but Austin (many of our chip designers are there) or potentially any Tesla Gigafactory.”
“@TalkTesla @Techmeme @timkhiggins According to NHTSA, there was an automotive fatality every 86M miles in 2017 (~40,000 deaths). Tesla was every 320M miles. It’s not possible to be zero, but probability of fatality is much lower in a Tesla. We will be reporting updated safety numbers after each quarter.”
“@stclairashley You can empty the drum magazine of a Tommy Gun and still not penetrate the Cybertruck”
“RT @Tesla: Glass roof in our vehicles can withstand 4x the weight of the car”
“@adrianfine @Tesla @cityofpaloalto Much appreciated, Mayor Fine!”

“@wintonARK Tesla has economies of scale and a technology architecture that make it extremely difficult (unless I’m missing something major) for others to compete”
“@JohnnaCrider1 @thirdrowtesla We’ll try to get & deliver as many as possible. N95 masks are a pain to wear btw. Less onerous masks are better most of the time.”
“@28delayslater @PPathole @truth_tesla @flabellina212 @bouncygulag @tmornini @Param86330798 @Grimezsz I mean, this does seem like a time for Dad jokes … 🤣🤣”
“There are also many state & local incentives, for example California offers $2500, plus $800 from utilities & access to carpool lane, Colorado $4000, etc https://t.co/lmD3ZNFR9M https://www.tesla.com/support/incentives”
“Tesla dual motor cars are also all-wheel drive. Main goal of dual motor was actually insane traction on snow. Insane speed was a side effect”

“@Model3Owners Limited production of Model Y this year, high volume next year”
“@ElectrekCo @FredericLambert Very strange. Model 3 is designed to have super good stopping distance & others reviewers have confirmed this. If there is vehicle variability, we will figure it out & address. May just be a question of firmware tuning, in which case can be solved by an OTA software update.”
“@AlguireTim @Tesla Haha. It is actually my fav game on Tesla cars right now 😀”

“@flcnhvy @Sofiaan @Tesla That’s our goal!”
“@teslaownersSV @24_7TeslaNews @SpaceX No guarantees, but maybe next month. Requires quite a lot of incremental testing & code tweaks for different road system in Canada.”
“@technology Our biggest limitation with Fremont is convincing enough associates to build cars when they have so many other job opportunities in the Bay Area! Thanks again Tesla team for doing the hard work of building real products that people love ♥️”
“@robbystarbuck They thought that was a Tesla showroom, but it was actually the Dept of Education. Joke’s on them.”
“@teslaownersSV @SamTwits Once the board was presented with the evidence of Eberhard’s deception/fraud & the dire state of the company, all board members, including those he appointed, voted unanimously to fire him in August 2007.”
“@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.”
“@billhuang688 @woonomic @VaibhavSisinty I put in all I had, whereas Eberhard, who was worth over $10M at the time, refused to invest a penny to help Tesla. If it was really his baby, he would never have stood by while it starved to death. https://t.co/ZDfYLD5qkL https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judgement_of_Solomon”

“@Model3Owners @TrungTPhan It took an utterly insane amount of work to move the SpaceX & Tesla success probabilities above ~zero”
“@teslaownersSV @TheRealKeean We have to solve a huge part of AI just to make cars drive themselves. In retrospect, it was inevitable. The road system is designed for cameras (eyes) & neural nets (brains).”
“@abhiyogi Slight chance of Starship flight to Mars crewed by Optimus in Nov/Dec next year. A lot needs to go right for that. More likely, first flight without humans in ~3.5 years, next flight ~5.5 years with humans. Mars city self-sustaining in 20 to 30 years.”
“@justpaulinelol That basically describes SoC 0 vs SoC 1 of our FSD computer right now. Soon to change!”
“@DrSallyL @Tesla Coming soon. Lot of cool stuff.”

“@28delayslater @thirdrowtesla Invasive ventilators are for worst case patients. Survival rate at that point is low, as Gov Cuomo has pointed out. Nonetheless, we start delivery of intratracheal Medtronic units in NYC tonight.”

“@ICannot_Enough @thirdrowtesla Explains the sad lack of progress in candy research!”
“@CGasparino @Tesla Exactly, this is total bs. What part of “production hell” sounds like a sure thing!?”
“@TeslaHype @Teslarati @ResidentSponge Indeed, US taxpayers actually profited from the Tesla loan”
“@KristiRJensen @EverydayElon @SjvTesla @GerberKawasaki @thirdrowtesla Exactly! Tesla knows far more about what needs to be done to be safe through our Tesla China factory experience than an (unelected) interim junior official in Alameda County.”
“@teslaownersSV @toadmeister I’ve spent more than half my life in California & love the state. But, frankly, I think CA has the winning-for-too-long problem. Like a sports team with many championships, it is increasingly difficult to avoid complacency & a sense of entitlement.”
