“@meangene2030 Damn straight we do! Coming with 8.1 next week.”
“First drive of a release candidate version of Model 3 https://t.co/zcs6j1YRa4”
“@FredericLambert It still has one display”
“@VoltzCoreAudio Nothing majorly new that a consumer would notice. Lots of new tech in the design and production process though.”
“@arctechinc The more autonomous a car is, the less dash info you need. How often do you look at the instrument panel when being driven in a taxi?”
“@asimo3089 How about the video we just took of the first Model 3 release candidate drive?”
“@trabru Yup, machine arrives next month and we start digging the tunnel!”
“@oakhaller I think so”
“@FredericLambert @JimPengelly No, we are minimizing configuration complexity to keep the production ramp on schedule. RWD only for early production, just like Model S.”
“@Trojan81 Tues/Wed”
“@jDaz Because I was a dumb idiot and didn't realize at the time that it would cause confusion”
“@timothymjr Tues/Wed next week”
“@Skate_a_book Yes. Model S will always be the fastest Tesla until next gen Roadster, which is a few years away.”
“@JimPengelly Yes, but not until next year”
“@AlSaibie Yes. Hardware already on all production S and X cars.”
“@theKen_Miller Sorta. Model 3 is like a BMW 3 series or Audi A4. Model S is like BMW 5 and 6 series, but much faster, more storage space + Autopilot”
“@Greg525 How about now?”
“@varunfatehpuria Oh Model Y is coming too in a few years. Kinda have to.”
“@luciojr All Tesla cars built since Oct last year will be capable of self-driving as software improves”
“@swindeez Definitely”
“Model 3 was going to be called Model E, for obvious dumb humor reasons, but Ford sued to block it, so now it is S3X. Totally different :)”
“@TimBeiko Yes”
“Model 3 is just a smaller, more affordable version of Model S w less range & power & fewer features. Model S has more advanced technology.”
“Am noticing that many people think Model 3 is the "next version" of a Tesla, like iPhone 2 vs 3. This is not true.”
“@macwalterslives Looking forward to playing the game with my kids!”
“@aaronpaul_8 I used to be one. You're welcome. Trying my best, at least. Hope it's a bit useful.”
“@nextspaceflight @inversedotcom Just because I'm building a spaceship to get back to my home planet doesn't mean I'm an alien”
“@lennart375 @inversedotcom The number of extinct single planet civilizations probably exceeds live civs by at least a thousand to one. I'm being optimistic.”
“@phirate Probably. Either that, simulation, great filter or they are very, very subtle.”
“@Nites I hope that didn't work”
“@Nites ~spawn npc.alien”
“Where are the #%*> aliens? https://t.co/FDuJIdwgrN https://www.inverse.com/article/14957-drake-equation-revision-hugely-ups-odds-intelligent-extraterrestrial-life-exists”
“@wouterhuijs Looks like Tues/Wed for 8.1 release”
“@x17online Except that isn't actually my house ...”
“@karaswisher Perhaps there will be some future bill that makes a difference for Mars, but this is not it.”
“@karaswisher I am not. This bill changes almost nothing about what NASA is doing. Existing programs stay in place and there is no added funding for Mars.”
“@CapnJesus @Lurpatron @MKBHD @jakerawr 3 is a great car, but definitely Model S”
“@kyleugh Good point”
“@PriyancaFord I wish. It's so annoying.”
“Finally, an explanation for daylight savings that makes sense ... https://t.co/kGpJHNgRJO https://x.com/theonion/status/841311395543113728”
“@AndreElijah Ok”
“@BizbuilderUSA @mcannonbrookes It's been a bear to get done, but prob 10 days or so, depending on full speed autosteer test results”
“@Legit_bacon @mcannonbrookes Looking forward to it. I know it's cliche, but LotR is my favorite book ever :) Want to see the set and take my kids on tour of greater NZ.”
“@5AllanLeVito @mcannonbrookes @VGroysman Sure. Just check out my prior tweet on pricing ($250 kWh at pack level). Website will be updated soon, so there is complete transparency.”
“.@mcannonbrookes Can only happen with your support, and working closely with key govt and utility leaders who are strongly committed to trying new approaches”
“Just wanted to write a note of appreciation to the many Australians who came out in support of the battery plan, especially @mcannonbrookes”
“@ah_pton16 I love Wikipedia. Just gets better over time.”
“@JMMZHerrera Answer is complex for electric motors. We use an AC induction motor fed by a DC pack thru an IGBT inverter, which kinda "digitizes" DC power”
“@williamwinters High voltage DC is for sure the best way to transmit electricity over long distances. Good explanation at https://t.co/FOjClHhYiL https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-voltage_direct_current”
