“@krobertson @Tesla @kimbal @senorsisig Will do. Definitely moving heavily towards direct to work/home delivery of cars!”
“@russotalks All cars made since Oct 2016 either have the hardware needed for FSD or are trivially upgradeable”
“Sarah Palin calls Tesla a loser. Am deeply wounded. http://t.co/eOGT80Ut4L Btw, Model S warranty does cover "bricking". http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2013/04/07/sarah-palin-echoes-romney-tesla-motors-losers-who-build-bricks/”
“@emilmelar Retrofits will start when our software is able to take meaningful advantage of the Tesla FSD computer, which is an order of magnitude more capable. For now, it’s slightly disadvantageous to have Tesla FSD computer, as our software is more refined for HW2.”
“@comeaujo @ValueAnalyst1 @Tesla Getting rid of peak power splitting across two bays & updated software with battery warmup results in >2X improvement in fleet charge time”
“@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.”
“@CopticChad @Erdayastronaut @privater @marc_benton @Teslatunity @Model3Owners @Tesla Net power to warm pack is especially low when motors are running, as coolant loop routes motor heat to the pack when outside is cold (& rejects motor heat to air when outside is warm)”
“@asilversteinTV @scot_work @jkypes @Tesla Sorry for the inconvenience. We’re aware of this glitch & it’s fixed, but software updates wait for a WiFi connection. Policy has been changed to push updates like this over cell connection sooner.”
“@TeslaCharts I don’t want to see anyone lose their money. Or I will at least provide fair warning before it happens, as I have done in the past.”
“@flcnhvy @lexfridman @Tesla Production fully switched over ~3 months ago. Functionality won’t diverge until Q4, as it’s limited by software validation. Will be later for Europe compared to rest of world due to regulatory constraints that were put in place years ago by big ICE companies.”
“@kulpability @lexfridman @Tesla Intersections with complex traffic lights & shopping mall parking lots are the two biggest software challenges. Developer branch already mostly works in these scenarios, but massive effort required to get to 99.9999% safety.”
“RT @Tesla: Announcing Terafab: the next step towards becoming a galactic civilization https://t.co/IDKey07mJa https://x.com/i/broadcasts/1yKAPMzlvgWxb”
“RT @teslaownersSV: ELON MUSK - “Our progress toward a Kardashev Type II civilization… a reasonable goal would be to try to get to a million…”
“@ZainRaz4 @Teslarati No, original 5 forward facing seats plus 2 rear-facing smaller seats. The new rear seats will accommodate larger passengers than before.”
“@EV_Stevee @teslaownersSV @cgpgrey Pretty much, although if there was a way to spend money to solve software problems sooner, I’d love it. The real constraint is finding great software engineers.”
“@RossSheingold @Tesla Upgrading hardware is not important for a few months”
“@doctorow Iain certainly wasn’t pro-union in the Culture books. At all. And wouldn’t be in the case of Tesla. Banks was about freedom through & through. Maybe for a single buyer (monopsony) vs single seller (monopoly), I would be too, but that’s a special case.”
“@master_ov @tesletter @teslaownersSV Yes, just costs a few thousand dollars & is more complex than a board swap. Bunch of connectors & antennas need to change. We can improve the speed a little with software optimization, which might be enough.”
“@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.”
“@huby @87spider @ryan_caldbeck @Tesla Exactly. Overheat protection is always on, but you can also tap “maintain” & your car will hold a cool or warm temp for a few hours while parked.”
“@thenosyt Definitely. You will be able to do pretty much anything via voice command. Software team is focused on core Model 3 functionality right now, but that will be done soon, then we will add a lot more features.”
“@adrianvolts @TeslaMotors @TeslaMotorsClub @Teslarati Tesla software team is working seven days a week to complete testing and validation. Getting close.”
“@oxfordteddy @teslainventory @teslaownersSV No, as that’s OG Mobileye hardware”
“@annerajb @tesla_addicted Software”
“@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.”
“@TeslaGong @indiealexh @mojosusan @BLKMDL3 @ElonsBrain @CathieDWood @ARKInvest Intuitively, that should be straightforward to address, but there could be complexities I’m unaware of”
“@hypercharts @ElonsWorld @Tesla Exactly. Trendline that includes Autopilot always-on accident avoidance features matches curve of Autopilot software/hardware releases, as you’d expect.”
“There will ultimately be tens of millions of driverless Teslas throughout the world giving rides 24/7 https://t.co/zWK5dHy75e”
“Other trucks look badass, Cybertruck actually is https://t.co/5DufWfoOAA”
“That’s a happy picture 🥰 [@teslaownersSV] The picture that wins the internet today”
“Cybertruck can beat a Porsche 911 while towing a Porsche 911!”
“@simonhackett @ToddBourne @Tesla Yeah, that should improve soon. Software team has been buried in Model 3 bringup and tricky bug fixes, but that’s mostly done now.”
“Just drove Cybertruck around Austin! https://t.co/QN19Agqa7R”
“@chriscardinal Games & other refinements will go to all Tesla S, X & 3 from start of production. Autopilot enhancements apply to all Model 3’s plus S & X made in last few years (needs Autopilot Hardware V2.0 or higher).”
“@lordsshrivas Coming soon for all Tesla cars. Just an OTA software update.”
“Cybertruck looks like the future”
“You can now buy a Tesla with Bitcoin”
“Cybertruck https://t.co/OulLTYy15s”
“We named @Tesla after Nikola Tesla, one of the greatest engineers ever. He was a penniless immigrant whose inventions led to American dominance in electricity generation and usage. https://t.co/1K1IdSUjM0”
“😂 [@teslaownersSV] 🫡 )”
“Your Tesla can now drive itself through complex parking lots to find you”
“Optimus strolling around the lab https://t.co/E25ttHGsF0”
“This was Optimus not long ago https://t.co/nqlXuSYCkQ”
“Cybertruck has a sloped roof … just sayin https://t.co/z1jYNmrafy”
“Cybertruck production line https://t.co/sGYuVFLy3c”
“Video of the inside of Cortex today, the giant new AI training supercluster being built at Tesla HQ in Austin to solve real-world AI https://t.co/DwJVUWUrb5”
“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.”
“This level of violence is insane and deeply wrong. Tesla just makes electric cars and has done nothing to deserve these evil attacks. [@ElizabethForNV] Happening this morning in my town of Las Vegas, several Tesla vehicles engulfed in flames! This is horrific and evil, it must stop immediately!!!!”
“@samabuelsamid @TeslaMotors I've written two forward-looking master plans, but haven't told the Tesla history of how we got there. Lot of drama … Prob worth doing?”
