“Indeed, it was *because* I was not from the aerospace industry that SpaceX made such radical breakthroughs. Same for Tesla. Those in the industry would have if they could have. [@ray4tesla] In this 2015 interview, the host — a Tsinghua University professor — expressed genuine curiosity about how Elon Musk was able to found SpaceX without prior experience and knowledge in aerospace, especially given that rocket science is one of the most demanding hard sciences — and”

“Cool [@OwenSparks_] Wow. This guy owns so many cars he leases a warehouse just to store them, yet his favorite is the Tesla @cybertruck he just picked up 3 weeks ago. Story shared from Theodore Denney III on FB: "I own a LOT of cars: including Ferraris (x2), Mercedes, BMW, a very rare C7 ZR1,…”
“Due to laws against data export, Tesla achieved the top results in China despite having no local training data. Tesla is adding training data from our world simulator and test tracks to achieve 6/6. [@SawyerMerritt] NEWS: Chinese media tested ADAS in various scenarios, including highways & night driving. @Tesla’s vision-based system outperformed emerging Chinese brands like Huawei & Xiaomi, as well as traditional automakers.

“As I’ve said previously, unsupervised full self-driving Teslas will be carrying passengers in Austin in June and many cities in America by end of year. This will enable passenger cars to increase in utility by roughly half an order of magnitude overnight with a software update. [@SawyerMerritt] David Faber on CNBC today: "I had the opportunity to ride in a @Tesla this weekend on FSD. It's worth doing. The steering wheel was not touched. The technology is real. People are driving 100 miles out of New York City and not touching the steering wheel once." - @davidfaber”
