“Cost of normal dual motor AWD option is $5k. Range is also 310 miles. Takes 0-60mph to 4.5 sec & top speed to 140 mph.”

“@PPathole Black & white interior available only for Model 3 Performance initially due to limited parts availability. Will broaden over time.”
“Tesla AWD is dual motor, so you can fully drive the car even if one breaks”
“Cost of all options, wheels, paint, etc is included (apart from Autopilot). Cost is $78k. About same as BMW M3, but 15% quicker & with better handling. Will beat anything in its class on the track.”
“Tesla dual motor, all-wheel drive performance Model 3: 3.5 sec 0-60mph 155 mph Top Speed 310 mile Range”
“@plot_qasc It’s only slightly more expensive to Tesla (same price to car owners), but owner happiness is way higher, so worth doing”
“@clemyeung Exactly”
“Will soon enable Tesla owners to request service from their phone with a few taps. Tesla Ranger will come to you to take care of your car. No need to bring the car in yourself & zero paperwork.”
“@Everman @scottwww @KymmPuckeridge @ElementC9 @griff_golf I’m about to test the configurator & then it goes out to early reservation holders tonight”
“@AddankiSarat You can tweet to Tesla, me and/or get something upvoted in message boards”
“@scottwww @KymmPuckeridge @ElementC9 @griff_golf That is the way to go. Thanks for buying our cars!”
“@DMC_Ryan Also, carbon fiber spoiler, 20” Performance wheels, black & white interior.”
“@DMC_Ryan AC induction front & switched reluctance, partial permanent magnet rear. Silicon Carbide inverters in both. Performance drive units are lot sorted for highest sigma output & get double the burn-in.”
“Working on Model 3 dual motor all-wheel drive & performance versions. Driving feel is amazing. Aiming to release config late tonight.”
“@GothKazu Check out https://t.co/bwRt49d34V. Build-your-own life size Egyptian pantheon merch coming soon. http://boringcompany.com”
“But The Boring Company is right behind you at 1/15th your speed & soon will be 1/10th! Start sweating …”
“He taunts us with his speed”
“@PPathole Just … an ordinary snail”
“His name is Gary & he’s a snail”

“Skip forward to see the most boring presentation ever https://t.co/dD730jbggQ https://x.com/boringcompany/status/997309073115594752”
“Excited for @boringcompany partnership with LA Metro https://t.co/hpqXC3yjQ6 https://x.com/metrolosangeles/status/991116223424286721”

“Listening to REALiTi”
“@Manuel_Castillo Yes”
“Will be presenting & taking questions about The Boring Company plans for Los Angeles at 7pm on Thursday”
“Boring Company Hyperloop will take you from city center under ground & ocean to spaceport in 10 to 15 mins https://t.co/VhpfhgdXSd https://x.com/tedtalks/status/988501449586987008”
“@andrewbg Time will tell, but so far it appears so”
“@Kasabiii It certainly needs to be better & we work to improve it every day, but perfect is enemy of good. A system that, on balance, saves lives & reduces injuries should be released.”
“What’s actually amazing about this accident is that a Model S hit a fire truck at 60mph and the driver only broke an ankle. An impact at that speed usually results in severe injury or death.”
“It’s super messed up that a Tesla crash resulting in a broken ankle is front page news and the ~40,000 people who died in US auto accidents alone in past year get almost no coverage https://t.co/6gD8MzD6VU https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/tesla-with-autopilot-slams-into-truck-stopped-at-red-light/2018/05/12/18d2e740-563e-11e8-a6d4-ca1d035642ce_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.7466cb626644”
“@sokane1 @TalkTesla @Techmeme @timkhiggins Yes”
“@TalkTesla @Techmeme @timkhiggins According to NHTSA, there was an automotive fatality every 86M miles in 2017 (~40,000 deaths). Tesla was every 320M miles. It’s not possible to be zero, but probability of fatality is much lower in a Tesla. We will be reporting updated safety numbers after each quarter.”
“@Techmeme @timkhiggins This is false. Eyetracking rejected for being ineffective, not for cost. WSJ fails to mention that Tesla is safest car on road, which would make article ridiculous. Approx 4X better than avg.”
“@mayemusk Happy Mother’s Day Mom! Love you so much.”
“@arstechnica Fair criticism, but we’re fixing it fast. Hackathon going on right now to fix 2 worst robot production chokepoints. Looks promising.”
“Lovely story https://t.co/fIsvSIx3Uu https://x.com/teslarati/status/995563083203571712”
“@devrim_ogun @RitaJKing If someone is trying to control us through complicated sky patterns, they must really care. I would gladly obey their instructions, but I can’t figure them out.”
“@Everman SpaceX will prob build 30 to 40 rocket cores for ~300 missions over 5 years. Then BFR takes over & Falcon retires. Goal of BFR is to enable anyone to move to moon, Mars & eventually outer planets.”
“Good piece by Ars https://t.co/7C3X0TjUX9 https://x.com/arstechnica/status/995457711398678529”
“@RitaJKing Rate at which things are getting more bizarre appears to be increasing”
“@DylanNeumann2 @Everman Exactly. Gasoline cars will be like steam engines — quaint, but not something you’d actually use to get around. Btw, I like steam engines & trains in general.”
“@Everman Yeah, I heard this so many times. In the future, it will seem bizarre that we used to crash rockets into the ocean instead of reusing them.”
“@PodcastTeslas Will make that a setting”
“@existentialcoms Fossil fuels subsidized at $10 million a minute, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week https://t.co/zAZOohjb4E https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2015/may/18/fossil-fuel-companies-getting-10m-a-minute-in-subsidies-says-imf”
“@existentialcoms No use arguing with chimp. You’re blocked.”
“@existentialcoms That article was pushed as propaganda to counter IMF study showing fossil fuel subsidies to be $5 trillion/year. Even if $4.9B was true, combined market cap of Tesla & SpaceX is $80B. Where did the other $75B come from? Ass 🎩 …”
“@archangel_cap @existentialcoms I have publicly asked people (like you) not to invest. Go fund Ford or whatever …”
“Launching in ~4 mins https://t.co/4vMvdEQAx7 https://x.com/spacex/status/995031117924257792”
“@DMC_Ryan @AnthonyFultz AWD & white interior in July. Air suspension prob later. Note, that’s when we *start* making them. Can’t instantly fill all orders. Will take 6+ months to do so.”
