“@russotalks All cars made since Oct 2016 either have the hardware needed for FSD or are trivially upgradeable”

“RT @SawyerMerritt: 10,000 consecutive miles on Tesla FSD with no interventions. Incredible @DavidMoss. Self-driving cars are here. https:/…”
“@KnightmarArchon @EvBite @johnrobb Very much so. There are 2.5B cars & trucks on Earth. Even replacing 1% of that fleet would require making 25M vehicles per year. Tesla will make over 500k cars in next 12 months, but that’s a mere 2% of 25M or 0.02% of global vehicle fleet. Car industry slow -> demand >> supply.”
“@ajmarquez True, but this will improve dramatically over next several months & all Tesla cars ever produced (except early Roadsters) will get improvements for free. Continuous, free over-the-air software updates is a big part of why a Tesla retains so much value over time.”
“@DMC_Ryan Should be very soon. We’ve already made around 100 Model 3 Performance cars for test drives in stores.”
“@SnazzyQ @PhenomenalPoto @aaronjleonard @tailosivetech Straw man fallacy. To appreciate, your car just needs to be worth more than you paid for it, so probably ~$75k is enough if you bought a 3. FSD will be bundled in all cars (important point). Something is not a commodity if you can’t make enough of them & we won’t be able to.”
“@sk2sno @rtk86 @sheldonth @FactsDataTruth @Tesla We will enable track mode for all performance cars”
“RT @antlopang: FSD in Europe 🇪🇺🇮🇹 absolutely nails a packed Italian roundabout. Chaos everywhere, cars coming from all sides — the Tesla pi…”
“RT @piloly: This quarter, one in three cars sold in Norway is a Tesla. Tesla is dominationg this market. 🇳🇴 https://t.co/T6EW6OjpFD”
“@flcnhvy @SnazzyQ @PhenomenalPoto @aaronjleonard @tailosivetech No, since Tesla will charge a % fee for being in our robotaxi fleet, but it will rise to whatever the clearing price is, otherwise all our cars will be bought by scalpers”
“@msitver @FrankLuntz Exactly. By end of this quarter, about half a million Teslas will have full self-driving hardware (pending computer swap) & we will make another half million FSD cars by mid next year.”
“@bluemoondance74 @solussd @Tesla I’m told it’s looking positive & we will be allowed to continue servicing our cars in Texas”
“@DMC_Ryan No plans for aluminum pedals. Adds too much production complexity. Model 3 will def have summon, which will get way more advanced for S & X w HW2 Autopilot & all Model 3 cars.”
“Tesla priority is electrification of cars, so priority is Model S, Model X, then mass market third gen vehicle & truck”
“Battery pack swap works with all Tesla Model S cars, past and present. It was always there.”
“@teslainventory @teslaownersSV This is quite a thorny hardware problem, as there are many diff versions of mcu & autopilot computer & supporting hardware. Cars last so much longer than phones! Hopefully able to upgrade mcu1 & ap2.0 in a few months.”
“Major Tesla milestone: All crash testing is complete for 5* (max) safety rating. Cars can now be built for sale to public!”
“There will ultimately be tens of millions of driverless Teslas throughout the world giving rides 24/7 https://t.co/zWK5dHy75e”
“@rrosenbl @ElectrekCo @FredericLambert @Tesla Have been meaning to get around to talking to him. Some of his criticisms are valid, but, on the higher body/chassis weight front, he wasn’t fully appreciating that we were going for much higher crash safety levels than other cars.”
“Other trucks look badass, Cybertruck actually is https://t.co/5DufWfoOAA”
“@samuelrogg @ElectrekCo @FredericLambert To be clear, all Model 3 cars, incl early production will have same great braking ability. Nature of any product, however, is that if you care about perfection, you make constant small refinements. Today’s Model S is far more refined than initial production.”
“That’s a happy picture 🥰 [@teslaownersSV] The picture that wins the internet today”
“Cybertruck can beat a Porsche 911 while towing a Porsche 911!”
“Just drove Cybertruck around Austin! https://t.co/QN19Agqa7R”
“The evil knuckleheads picked the wrong vehicle for a terrorist attack. Cybertruck actually contained the explosion and directed the blast upwards. Not even the glass doors of the lobby were broken.”
“@FutureCars360 @Tesla Will have Model X do a cover of Happy Birthday by Marilyn Monroe https://t.co/8TaiBF6HLs https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iH3oOVKt0WI”
“Creating an autopilot for cars at Tesla is an important, but not yet top priority. Still a few years from production.”
“@lordsshrivas Coming soon for all Tesla cars. Just an OTA software update.”
“Cybertruck looks like the future”
“Great explanation of the @TeslaMotors announcement by @TechCrunch http://t.co/rTHX6LofOE http://techcrunch.com/2013/04/02/tesla-motors-partners-with-wells-fargo-and-us-bank-to-finance-model-s-electric-cars/”

“@GregMatson Yes, all cars with Autopilot 2.0 or higher, so ~400,000 of Tesla cars built to date”
“@DrChrisVieira LA-SF-Reno/Sparks would be great. Tesla logistics costs for Sparks-Fremont (batteries & motors) and Fremont-LA (finished cars) are gigantic.”

“About to deliver the first ten Model S cars from @TeslaMotors!”
“Apologies to those expecting Cybertruck deliveries in California over the next few days. We need to use those trucks as mobile base stations to provide power to Starlink Internet terminals in areas of LA without connectivity. A new truck will be delivered end of week.”
“Let’s give Optimus a hand for catching ball! https://t.co/i44qcD1iLd”
“@tony_lo Still on for end of year. Just software limited. Any Tesla car with HW2 (all cars built since Oct last year) will be able to do this.”
