@samabuelsamid Wrong to exclude non-occupant deaths. Autopilot would have prevented this cyclist from being killed https://t.co/ic9liqnyDN http://www.autoblog.com/2014/02/10/tesla-new-car-smell-fatal-cyclist-crash/

@alansmurray If you care about auto deaths as material to stock prices, why no articles about 1M+/year deaths from other auto companies?

@alansmurray Yes, it was material to you -- BS article increased your advertising revenue. Just wasn't material to TSLA, as shown by market.

We *def* don't recommended this, but Model S floats well enough to turn it into a boat for short periods of time. Thrust via wheel rotation.

As mentioned at the beginning of the year, I'm expecting ~70% success rate on landings for the year. 2016 is the year of experimentation.

Turns out the landing was not as fast we thought, but still hard enough to destroy the primary airframe and accordion the engines

Upgrades underway to enable rocket to compensate for a thrust shortfall on one of the three landing engines. Probably get there end of year.

Would seem to indicate that one or more people sought to create the false impression of a safety issue where none existed. Q is why?

Of greater concern: 37 of 40 suspension complaints to NHTSA were fraudulent, i.e. false location or vehicle identification numbers were used
