“You're most welcome. Very exciting to discuss the future of electricity. Renewables + storage arguably biggest disruption since DC to AC. https://t.co/7uXoUQf29f https://x.com/turnbullmalcolm/status/840763614856339456”
“@mcannonbrookes Just spoke with @JayWeatherill, Premier of South Australia. Very impressed. Govt is clearly committed to a smart, quick solution.”
“@shails Yes, but shipping, taxes/tariffs and installation labor vary by country, as those costs are beyond our control”
“@mcannonbrookes $250/kWh at the pack level for 100MWh+ systems. Tesla is moving to fixed and open pricing and terms for all products.”
“@mcannonbrookes Tesla will get the system installed and working 100 days from contract signature or it is free. That serious enough for you?”
“@Zedd Will send you one”
“@SimonaKitzu Self-hatred”

“@jamesatbuzz This is not true. TM works for a lot of people and that's great, but I've maybe done it 7 or 8 times ever.”

“SpaceX announcement tomorrow at 1pm PST”
“@MacTechGenius of course”
“@DueDiamond maybe one of those too”
“Roller coasters are awesome”
“@johnpaulbrewer Something on a tristate border might work. Gigafactory plus nearby supporting supply chain needs a very large workforce.”
“@donbarbieri @GreenCarReports Good chance it will”
“@davidshepardson @BW @ATT @ToysRUs Exactly :)”
“@adrianvolts Minor improvements update this weekend. High speed autosteer in about two weeks.”

“@mattnewby no”
“@Xuan_Thai System was green for launch. I called it off.”
“@spacecom They are often right, but, in this case, we have already retired so much R&D risk on Dragon 2, that I feel very confident of 2018.”
“@zperrin99 Uses high pressure bleed off the fuel side (RP-1 kerosene) turbopump, so no dedicated pump or fluid needed”
“Btw, 99% likely to be fine (closed loop TVC wd overcome error), but that 1% chance isn't worth rolling the dice. Better to wait a day.”
“@Zybbby Not obviously related to the (very tiny) helium leak, but also not out of the question”
“If this is the only issue, flight would be fine, but need to make sure that it isn't symptomatic of a more significant upstream root cause”
“All systems go, except the movement trace of an upper stage engine steering hydraulic piston was slightly odd. Standing down to investigate.”

“Looks like we are go for launch. Added an abort trigger at T-60 secs for pressure decay of upper stage helium spin start system.”
“Investigating a (very small) leak in the upper stage. If ok, will launch tomorrow. https://t.co/bQf97lywn4 https://x.com/spacex/status/832644375863717889”
“@emenietti @chafkin Yes, but only deep in solid rock, where the walls are self-supporting and concrete reinforcements arguably aren't needed”
“@sc00bs It's much easier to do the CGI that way”
“Daylight rocket launch & landing at the Cape this weekend. Will be the 1st SpaceX flight from the Apollo launch pad. https://t.co/Vr5LQjYaPZ http://observer.com/2017/02/spacex-will-fly-a-rocket-back-to-earth-in-broad-daylight-this-weekend/”
“@PhoebeColeman I used that one :)”
“Ok, what are some good ones? Will have to meter these out. Hopefully, kids can't die from groaning too much.”
“@VRGTech @Floydilicious They are doing India proud”
“@osiris26 You may come to regret that request :)”
“@LittleDovah Yeah, exactly. So that makes it cool, right!?”
“@Floydilicious Yeah, awesome achievement by ISRO. Very impressive!”
“Apparently, there is this thing called "Dad jokes" and I make them”
“@LudwigMorelos You're right, I can't hide any more! I am Irony Man...”
