“@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.”

“@intelligent_eat Yes, the purpose of AI Day is to convince great AI/software/chip talent to join Tesla”

“@truth_tesla @veespike @HillaryClinton @Twitter Whether other senior campaign managers were aware or not is a separate question. What is *not* in question is that Sussmann charged the Clinton Campaign for his Russia hoax meeting with the FBI.

“@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.”

“@Tesmanian_com Award accepted on behalf of the great people at Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink & Boring Co”

“@SenWarren @Tesla @SECGov What’s your favorite Halloween outfit?”

“@WholeMarsBlog Then HW5, which has been renamed to AI5, in the second half of next year. The Tesla AI5 computer has ~10X the capability of HW4 computer and Tesla makes the whole software stack.”

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

“@LifeofMikej @TeslaOwnersBC @DriveTeslaca @Tesla @Teslarati There are many small joys as you explore the car & more to come via software updates”

“@jamesdouma @LangleyDonovan Nvidia is providing helpful tools to the automotive industry, but the automotive industry is doing very little on their own By the end of this year, Tesla will have spent ~$10B cumulatively just on Nvidia hardware for training. We combine that with our own AI4 chips for… https://t.co/xqIbPDO8s0 https://x.com/i/web/status/2008679154598969430”

“@SenWarren @Tesla @SECGov Not you again 😮‍💨”

“@BrianRoemmele Slightly different versions of the Tesla AI5 chip will be made at TSMC and Samsung simply because they translate designs to physical form differently, but the goal is that our AI software works identically. We will have samples and maybe a small number of units in 2026, but high”

“@Teslaconomics @Tesla_AI Best was working with such a great team of AI hardware & software engineers! It was more fun than going to parties on Saturdays by far. Least awesome was that we had to make several design concessions to move fast, but were able to finish tapeout 45 days ahead of schedule. AI6”

“@Yuchenj_UW Andrej’s understanding is dated at this point. Tesla AI software has advanced vastly beyond what it was when he left. The intelligence density per GB of Tesla AI is at least an order of magnitude better than anything else out there.”

“@Teslarati @ResidentSponge It is an electronics/mechanical/software engineering problem for the Neuralink device that is similar in complexity level to smart watches (which are not easy!), plus the surgical robot, which is comparable to state-of-the art CNC machines. No need for AI/ NN/ML quite yet.”

“@PiyushGoyal @Tesla It was an honor to have you visit Tesla! My apologies for not being able to travel to California today, but I look forward to meeting at a future date.”

“@teslaownersSV @SpaceX You may be in an area that is at maximum capacity. Did SpaceX not provide an unsubscribe warning?”

“@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.”

“@BillyM2k @SenWarren @Tesla @SECGov 🤣💯”

“We don't mind taking the heat for customer safety. It is the right thing to do. From @RoadandTrack https://t.co/D181ui1jB0 http://www.roadandtrack.com/car-culture/news/a29944/leave-tesla-alone/”

“@SenWarren @Tesla @SECGov Can we please be friends please please”

“@chazman @Tesla The Tesla AI/software team is truly exceptional & I never give false praise”

“@Scobleizer @Tesla @teslaownersSV 🖤 Tesla Software Engineering 🖤”

“Some exciting news this week: Tesla Version 7 software with Autopilot goes to wide release on Thursday!”

“All items below will go to all Model 3s within next few months with V8.2 software. To report a bug or ask for a feature, press voice button, say “bug report” followed by issue description. https://t.co/ea7FTOn2cE https://x.com/mactechgenius/status/1001867688413544448”

“Ramping up the Autopilot software team at Tesla to achieve generalized full autonomy. If interested, contact autopilot@teslamotors.com.”

“@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…”

“@WR4NYGov What’s wild is that often the same people who say that Tesla is overvalued and will come crashing down are the same ones who say that a stock award contingent on Tesla being way more valuable than any other company ever is too high!”

“@vincent13031925 @JonErlichman I put in my last money, even though I thought we would still fail. But, it was either that or certain death for Tesla. Extremely difficult to raise money for an electric car startup (considered super quirky back then), while stalwarts like GM & Chrysler were going bankrupt.”

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

“@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!”

“@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!”

“@jamesdouma The FSD software update next month will be a major step-change improvement for rare conditions”

“@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.”

“@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.”

“@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.”

“@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.”

“@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.”

“@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.”

“@StephenNellis @Tesla Nvidia makes great hardware. High respect for Jensen & company. Our hardware needs were just unique & matched tightly to our software.”

“@MarcelFeldkamp That’s exactly the idea. What’s not well understood is that Tesla cars being made *today* will be able to do that for you. Just a matter of finishing the software & going through regulatory approval. Will be explained in depth via live webcast on April 22.”

“@ajtourville Important to note that we also use the Tesla HW4 AI computer in the training loop with Nvidia GPUs, currently at roughly a 1:2 ratio. Also, we’re changing the name from Hardware 4 (HW4) to Artificial Intelligence 4 (AI4). That means ~90k H100, plus ~40k AI4 computers.”

“@Jon4Lakers @Tesla We will post finer-grained details of software improvements going forward”

“@WholeMarsBlog FSD/AI team is doing great work. Will get superhuman good in upcoming releases. Note, we will slow down upload rate of releases going forward. First from QA fleet to employee cars for a day, then slowly releasing at ~1000 cars/hr to external beta on Friday aft.”

“@DevinOlsenn @Tesla_AI And it’s going to get 10X smarter just from software updates”

“@Teslarati Looking forward to seeing Giga Shanghai soon 😀 Amazing work by Tesla China team & support of authorities much appreciated!”

“@teslaownerssv Cool, but please be super cautious. Expect two steps forward, one back. Lot of new code was merged.”

“@SawyerMerritt @p_ferragu The awareness of the capability of FSD is still shockingly low, even among Tesla owners”
