@tlowdon @EthicalSkeptic Some of the tests we initially tried at Tesla were ~50% false positive, including some from major medical device companies. Too many testing methods were approved too quickly. Wouldn’t blame the FDA, though. Public was demanding fast test approval.

@mliebow @Tesla Much appreciated! Great word-of-mouth is why Model 3 is the best-selling electric car, despite no advertising or paid endorsements.

@SawyerMerritt The “260 mile” range Model Y’s built over the past several months actually have more range that can be unlocked for $1500 to $2000 (gains 40 to 60 miles of range), depending on which battery cells you have. Working through regulatory approvals to enable this. https://t.co/6d5Ntekk01

@wholemars I must give @AnthropicAI credit here: Opus 4.5 is outstanding. They are doing particularly excellent work at the pretraining level. However, Grok wins when applied to logic (software is just logic at scale) that isn’t in the Opus pretraining. For example, the Tesla chip design… https://t.co/JkpPOYGJIN https://x.com/i/web/status/1998876157991952622

@Teslarati @13ericralph31 Limiting factor for first launch is regulatory approval. Thereafter, fundamental issue is solving engine production. Prototypes are easy, production is hard.

The speed of the production ramp is inversely proportionate to how many new parts and steps there are. For Cybercab and Optimus, almost everything is new, so the early production… https://t.co/BzDu9pniGo https://x.com/i/web/status/2013751504847433803

@electricfuture5 We face a tough dichotomy of applying resources to the old architecture or applying them to the new. It’s not a question of money. If there was a “great engineer” factory, we would place a large order! Unfortunately, great engineers are very rare. This is solved in the FSD build.

@micarrdc It is accurate to say that incentives were an accelerant to EV adoption, but we started Tesla when there were no incentives & gasoline was $2/gallon in California. Tesla currently has a tax credit *disadvantage*, because the $7500 tax credit stopped applying to us years ago.

@PeterDiamandis Optimus is a very sophisticated robot. It will be immensely difficult to get the cost to $20k. Not easy at all, but it will eventually happen. Production volume needs to be above 1M/year for that. Price will be driven by demand, but eventually even price will get to ~$20k.
