“Tesla has released all cars for sale where original customer can’t take delivery before year end, as well as test drive / display cars, which cost less. Reminder to US buyers that $7500 tax credit drops in half in 8 days. Order online at https://t.co/46TXqRrsdr or visit stores. http://Tesla.com”

“And @JayLeno really knows cars! https://t.co/QN3x0UzP4v https://www.cnbc.com/2019/08/06/jay-leno-on-tesla-electric-cars-are-the-future.html”

“@wintonARK Strange, if true. - Tesla already uses iron-phosphate for medium range cars made in our Shanghai factory. - A monocell is electrochemically impossible, as max voltage is ~100X too low. Maybe they meant cells bonded together, like our structural battery pack?”

“@Gfilche Ships are probably fine with iron cells, but aircraft need very high energy density for good range. I’m not saying Tesla will do aircraft – we have our hands full with cars & solar/battery power generation – just that max energy density is needed for aircraft.”

“@Teslarati Diess is right. Hydrogen is a staggeringly dumb form of energy storage for cars. Barely worth considering it for a rocket upper stage, which is its most compelling use.”

““Not only was the paint without any discernible flaw, but the various panels formed a body of precision that was beyond reproach” https://t.co/qISnFBiW9p https://www.roadandtrack.com/new-cars/a28008116/tesla-model-3-build-quality-bob-lutz/”

“@WholeMarsBlog You don’t even need to touch the shifter in new S. Auto detect direction will come as an optional setting to all cars with FSD.”

“Reason for top rating is that active steering & braking safety features of Tesla Autopilot are turned on no cost for all cars https://t.co/HBKwAEbgc9 https://www.wired.com/story/tesla-model-3-can-survive-crash-avoid-one-too/”

“@CathieDWood Tesla makes cars for export in first half of quarter & for local market in second half. As publicly disclosed, we are operating under extreme supply chain limitations regarding certain “standard” automotive chips. Most problematic by far are Renesas & Bosch.”

“@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.”

“Tesla rear wheel drive cars do actually work well on snow & ice. We did our traction testing on an ice lake! Dual motor AWD is great, but not required for cold weather. Just don’t use sport/summer tires.”

“@CuriousPejjy No Model Y “refresh” is coming out this year. I should note that Tesla continuously improves its cars, so even a car that is 6 months newer will be a little better.”

“@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.”

“@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!”

“@DriveTeslaca We’ve had about 60 or so cars testing internally in Canada. Hoping to go wider this weekend.”

“@Teslarati @KlenderJoey Sorry to Tesla beta users for the trouble! Issue turned out to be power saving mode interacting with FSD. Our internal QA fleet didn’t see this, because cars are constantly in use, so very rarely enter power saving mode. Internal QA will obv test this case going forward.”

“@truth_tesla Tesla software team is excellent even when compared to the best software companies. This is a big deal, as cars are very much computers on wheels.”

“@Teslaconomics We like to put little fun Easter eggs our cars. Small, unexpected delights are part of what makes life worth living.”

“@ID_AA_Carmack Tesla has done so much that would be considered “AI research breakthroughs”, but we are laser-focused on making it work, rather than crowing about breakthroughs. Having a large fleet is only one piece of the puzzle. Plenty of other car companies produce way more cars than…”

“@ray4tesla Did my best to warn people that LiDAR isn’t optimal for cars. Roads are designed for biological neural nets & eyes, so digital neural nets & cameras will work best. I say this even though Dragon uses LiDAR for docking with Station, so I don’t intrinsically hate that technology.”

“@SamTalksTesla Your comment above: “Who in their right mind would buy an ICE after 2025 knowing its residual value will be zilch? Legacy auto: go EV or go BUST!” is super important for car buyers. Residual values for gas/diesel cars will plummet in coming years.”

“@TeslaSynopsis It is already on a lot of cars, but, given that is a completely new architecture, we are doing extra testing. It works very well in California, but needs more training for heavy precipitation areas.”

“@Teslarati Going forward, all Tesla stores will be tiny & have tiny cars”

“@Scobleizer @Tesla @Waymo The streets will change very rapidly. Autonomous cars will be very common throughout the world in 2 to 3 years.”

“@RationalEtienne @OwenSparks_ @Tesla With our giant casting machines, we are literally trying to make full-size cars in the same way that toy cars are made”

“RT @netanyahu: https://t.co/Gu4K68mJmk https://www.jns.org/israel-asks-tesla-to-bid-on-tender-for-top-officials-cars/”

“@IIHS_autosafety Top Safety Pick+ from IIHS! That’s the highest overall rating, but we think we can get max score for all subcategories/individual tests too. Retesting in a month or so with improved software. The improved software will then be uploaded to all cars with FSD computers.”

“@Teslarati Large pouch cells undergo significant volumetric changes at high state of charge. Even so, fire risk is probably less than gasoline cars. There are over 200,000 combustion engine car fires every year in US alone. It’s literally in the name. https://t.co/uJPlB3IbzQ https://www.nfpa.org/-/media/Files/News-and-Research/Fire-statistics-and-reports/US-Fire-Problem/osvehiclefires.pdf”

“@SawyerMerritt Tesla is the only one making cars in California, so this move hurts jobs in California”

“@F9Block5 Yes, updated UI coming with FSD wide release. All cars with FSD computer will have new “mind of car” view. All 3/Y can be upgraded to have FSD computer.”

“@alex_avoigt What matters is that the cycle time of the overall production process can get to ~10 seconds and there is a path to cars coming off the line every 5 seconds. I posted about Tesla taking this new path based on physics first principles long ago. Btw, anyone is welcome to copy”

“@TeslaNY @InsideEVs @Tesla Exactly. A Tesla is objectively much safer in a crash than all other cars, according to NHTSA’s *own* calculations. This is just physics!”

“@SawyerMerritt @boringcompany @Tesla Any fully autonomous electric cars can use the tunnels”

“@SawyerMerritt Cybertrucks get preferential parking, as they look much more futuristic than normal cars and are poetically aligned with the stainless steel of Starship”

“@Tesla @PopMech Still get this question a lot, even though Norway 🇳🇴 has highest Tesla cars per person on 🌏 (super appreciated!). Also, AWD is nice to have, but def not required for snow/ice.”

“@teslaownersSV @iamyesyouareno @MarioNawfal The specific area I’m talking about is engineering, which is needed to build the best technology. Encouraging kids to learn how things work is the key. Take apart car engines, toasters, microwave ovens, speakers, etc. Make model airplanes, rockets, cars. As you’re doing this…”

“RT @teslaownersSV: “I cannot be President, and I actually don't want to be President. So, to be clear, I want to build rockets and cars.”…”

“RT @teslaownersSV: The starship is the largest flying object ever made, and it was able to be caught by chopsticks https://t.co/iMkJAWGsOz”

“@DrKnowItAll16 @OpenAI @Tesla Tesla has been able to do real-world video generation with accurate physics for about a year. It wasn’t super interesting, because all the training data came from the cars, so it just looks like video from a Tesla, albeit with a dynamically generated (not remembered) world.”

“@SawyerMerritt Of the roughly $10B in AI-related expenditures I said Tesla would make this year, about half is internal, primarily the Tesla-designed AI inference computer and sensors present in all of our cars, plus Dojo. For building the AI training superclusters, NVidia hardware is about…”

“RT @MarioNawfal: 🚨🇺🇸MAYE MUSK CALLS OUT TESLA VANDALS: “PAID CRIMINALS OR MEDIA-BRAINWASHED” “People who are damaging Tesla cars, stores a…”

“@Teslarati Connected, autonomous cars require great software. Advanced factories also require great software. The car industry is not very good at software.”

“@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”

“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.”

“@TeslaBoomerMama Good idea. He is a big fan of manufacturing in America and Teslas have the most American content of any cars!”

“@TashaARK Sounds about right for autonomous cars. Optimus will greatly exceed this. The economy will be as big as people want it to be. There will be no scarcity, except that which is artificially created.”

“@cleantechnica Model 3 body design could def be less complex, but, yes, most of weight difference is due to higher safety vs other cars”

“@karpathy Same happens with Tesla FSD. I forget that most people on Earth have no idea cars can drive themselves.”
