“@Teslarati @13ericralph31 Earth has been and will be smashed super hard by meteors over time. Not a question of if, just when.”

“@teslaownersSV @RyanGirdusky @GoodPoliticGuy South Korea and Hong Kong are experiencing the fastest population collapse. Note, 2.1 kids per woman is replacement rate.”
“@EffinZach The robots are coming anyway, as Boston Dynamics videos clearly show. I will not be able to ensure that robots made by other companies are safe, but I can try my best to do so at Tesla.”
“@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!”
“@tesletter Thanks to everyone at Tesla who worked so hard over the years to make our Fremont factory successful!”
“@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.”
“@teslavibes That’s total market, not all Tesla. We do see Tesla reaching 20M vehicles/year probably before 2030, but that requires consistently excellent execution.”
“@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.”
“@SamTwits My true moral error was creating Tesla & SpaceX at same time, while avoiding general mgmt chores at Tesla (focusing only on product & engineering). Tried to have my cake & eat it too, which failed.”
“Tesla keeps temp below 40C/105F by automatically venting cabin & turning on AC when needed. Can do this for up to a year on a full charge.”
“@teslaownersSV I love many cheeses, so hard to say that a particular one is best, but maybe Stilton”
“@teslaownersSV @micarrdc Should be proportionate to electricity prices. Is this not the case?”
“SpaceX & Tesla comp is same or better than other companies. Big diff is that we don't outsource manufacturing, retail sales or service.”
“@FutureJurvetson @Tesla @karpathy Pretty wild”
“@Teslarati We really need a bigger one, so adults can squeeze in too. Guaranteed to make a party more fun. Works well with flamethrowers!”
“@999BPM @tesla_adri @WholeMarsBlog No amount of money can defy physics”
“RT @teslaownersSV: BREAKING: The Tesla diner in Santa Monica is getting close to near completion https://t.co/5X3PH4JVZl”
“@DriveTeslaca Yes, but we take a very cautious approach to safety. As we confirm functionality on Canadian roads, the beta will expand.”
“RT @teslaownersSV: “No matter what happens, I will fight for America.” Elon Musk https://t.co/wqRb0SZoNt”
“@rstefani11 @Tesla Taking action. Tesla body shops now operating in California aiming for same day body repair in most cases.”
“@nowteslafy @Tesla_AI It has been online & running useful tasks for a few months”
“RT @teslaownersSV: If 🇺🇸 sinks, we all sink Elon Musk https://t.co/mAXHvxFTTN”
“@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.”
“@Nfdguy As always, I am optimistic about Tesla long-term”
“Some good guessing by @Jalopnik. The Tesla Minibus will be built on a Model X chassis. People density potential is surprisingly high.”
“@ICannot_Enough Very half decade or so, Tesla has to do a complete organizational overhaul to reach the next level. That said, our executive tenure is unusually high at well over 10 years at Tesla.”
“@DirtyTesLa @Jason Up to 7 days for human review”
“@EvaFoxU @Tesla Sounds like we need to clear up a few things! Tesla won’t use this much net water on a daily basis. It’s possibly a rare peak usage case, but not an everyday event. Also, this is not a natural forest — it was planted for use as cardboard & only a small part will be used for GF4.”
“@karpathy Same happens with Tesla FSD. I forget that most people on Earth have no idea cars can drive themselves.”
“@mundfish @BillyM2k I sure hope Tesla bots don’t malfunction! We’re taking great care to ensure that Optimus can easily be powered down locally with a physical switch to reduce the risk of centralized control.”
“@WholeMarsBlog FSD will save millions of lives”
“RT @teslaownersSV: Elon Musk "When you have a decline in religion and increase in secular nature of society, for most people they need some…”
“@TeslaGong Yes, but more ground stations & improved packet routing will make a bigger difference”
“@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.”
“@CryptoNekoZ @Tesla Click checkbox under “Advanced Settings””
“@teslaownersSV There is massive uncertainty with a new launch. We don’t know exactly when it will fly.”
“@Teslarati @ResidentSponge Special mention of Tesla China”
“Kinda. Creating a seamlessly integrated Tesla battery & solar power product that looks beautiful is the reason https://t.co/4z6MzBB9p2 https://x.com/qz/status/752105104921096192”
“@teslaownersSV @DimaZeniuk @billhuang688 @woonomic @VaibhavSisinty Maybe JB would be up for that too. He deserves a lot of credit (as do many longtime Tesla people).”
“RT @teslaownersSV: Elon Musk “There were over $300M of @SBAgov loans that’s been given out to people under the age of 11… the youngest reci…”
“@teslaownersSV @TeslaNY @Tesla Gating factor is achieving & proving higher safety with pure vision than with vision+radar. We are almost there. FSD Beta V9.0 will blow your mind.”
“@thirdrowtesla Humans drive using 2 cameras on a slow gimbal & are often distracted. A Tesla with 8 cameras, radar, sonar & always being alert can definitely be superhuman.”
“@Teslarati The final configuration used at Nürburgring to set the record will go into production around summer 2020, so this is not merely for the track”
“@tunguz He is just plain wrong. Almost the entire founding team of @SpaceX was over 30. Over half of the founding team of Tesla was too.”
“@Erdayastronaut @Tesla Absolutely”
“@teslaownersSV @Teslarati Working on that with Medtronic. Given NY pressing needs, we’re delivering Resmed, Philips & Medtronic ventilators to NY hospitals starting tonight.”
