“@PPathole @Teslarati @TeslaRoadTrip We’re still far from simply video in, control out. The biggest game-changer, currently underway at Tesla, is 360 degree, high fps video for labeling, training & inference.”

“@vincent13031925 @Tesla Wow”
“@heydave7 @philwhln Tesla is a vehicle for creating & producing many useful products”
“@philwhln @heydave7 Because I am not an investor. Tesla is definitely not the only good company, but investing is not what I do. But I always put my own money into companies I help create, otherwise it’d be wrong to ask others to do so.”
“@IsaacLatterell @TashaARK @karpathy Andrej is awesome, but it should be said that we have a very talented Autopilot/AI team at Tesla. Too much credit comes to me & Andrej.”
“@OwenSparks_ @flcnhvy @Tesla Safety is our primary design goal”
“@shifthappends @Tesla A lot of my brain space is spent dealing with both units!”
“@garyblack00 The only publicly traded stock I own is Tesla”
“Tesla holiday software release is 🔥🔥”
“@WhatsupFranks @michaelmina_lab CureVac, Moderna & a few others. Tesla makes the machine CureVac uses to go from known gene sequence to trillions of lipid-coated mRNA strands.”
“@TeslaNY @Tesla Happy to see this :)”
“@SamTalksTesla @Tesla I do expect this to become an important product for the world, but probably not financially material for Tesla”
“@SamTalksTesla @Tesla Tesla makes the RNA Bioreactor that can make vaccines / cures. CureVac has version 2 in use. Version 3 is under development.”
“@teslaownerssv @Tesla Thanks to a lot of great Autopilot/AI hardware & software engineers at Tesla!”
“@Ed_Spartan_117 @Tesla @NYKChannel Wait until you see what Cybertruck will do”
“@reganlovetesla @RenataKonkoly @SpaceNews_Inc Enough already on my plate & Tesla’s. Maybe one day will do a prototype. Those are relatively easy. Volume production with high reliability & low cost & passing all regulations is 100X harder.”
“@cleantechnica ♠️♠️ Tesla Autopilot/AI team ♠️♠️”
“@Nereide Faraday invented the electric motor, Tesla the (commutator-free, three-phase) AC induction motor, in other words, a useful electric motor”
“@Nereide Maxwell was amazing. Should have more recognition. Tesla Motors, Inc., was almost called Faraday, as it took until late 2004/2005 to buy the trademark from a guy who had had it since 1995.”
“@vincent13031925 @JonErlichman I put in my last money, even though I thought we would still fail. But, it was either that or certain death for Tesla. Extremely difficult to raise money for an electric car startup (considered super quirky back then), while stalwarts like GM & Chrysler were going bankrupt.”
“@AustinTeslaClub @JoeTegtmeyer @peterdog15 @TXTerafactory @Terafactorytx @lqdchkn @jd_average @EliBurton_ Tesla Texas team is making great progress! Giga Texas factory will be an asskicker.”
“Tesla should make 🔥 catgirl robots?”
“@HyperChangeTV Tesla team has done great work!”
“@arctechinc @Tesla Yes, very helpful. Thanks all beta testers!”
“Now that Tesla FSD beta is out in limited release, FSD price (new or upgrade) will go up by ~$2k on Monday”
“@TeslaGong @PPathole @teslaownersSV @tesla_raj As soon as we complete testing & regulators approve. So many different traffic signs, rules & languages around world, not to mention driving on left side of road! Also, a long & challenging road lies ahead getting to high 9’s reliability (way beyond human).”
“@PPathole @teslaownersSV @tesla_raj Yes”
“@teslaownersSV @tesla_raj Haha”
“@WholeMarsBlog Not intentional! We just wanted to show that you could theoretically convert the entire US vehicle fleet to electric using only the lithium in Nevada, a single state. Tesla will do lithium mining only as needed. We also found a way to extract lithium using NaCl (table salt).”
“@gem8mingen @Tesla Congratulations!”
“@flcnhvy @WholeMarsBlog @Kristennetten @boringcompany @Tesla It’s still there, but focus is Vegas & Prufrock, our new tunneling machine”
“@AstroJordy @Kristennetten @boringcompany @Tesla For sure”
“@WholeMarsBlog @Kristennetten @boringcompany @Tesla Maybe a month or so. Some finishing touches need to be done on the stations.”
“@Kristennetten @boringcompany @Tesla We simplified this a lot. It’s basically just Teslas in tunnels at this point, which is way more profound than it sounds.”
“@jwangARK Tesla FSD computer’s dual SoCs function like twin engines on planes — they each run different neural nets, so we do get full use of 144 TOPS, but there are enough nets running on each to allow the car to drive to safety if one SoC (or engine in this analogy) fails.”
“@OhioTesla @JenDunlap_ @Tesla @CARandDRIVER @teslaownersSV @Teslarati @ElectrekCo Glad Jen is safe!”
“@enn_nafnlaus There are sketchy edits to Tesla wiki that whitewash Eberhard’s problems/glorify his role. Pretty odd. I was interim CEO/co-CEO from July 2007. Michael Marks was co-CEO for ~Q4 2007 & Ze’ev Drori for Q1 to ~Q3 2008. After Q3 2008 financing round bust, no choice but to be CEO.”
“@enn_nafnlaus When Eberhard was fired from the Tesla CEO role in mid 2007 for providing false information to me & the board, no one left with him. That says it all.”
“@TashaARK Waymo is impressive, but a highly specialized solution. The Tesla approach is a general solution. The latest build is capable of zero intervention drives. Will release limited beta in a few weeks.”
“@flcnhvy @teslaownersSV @raytech247 @WholeMarsBlog That would be like licensing Battlestar Galactica. Actually building continuously evolving gargantuan factories is the hard part. Lots of people who worked at Tesla Gigafactories now work at competitors, but none of those companies have made one.”
“@raytech247 @WholeMarsBlog Even GM & Chrysler went bankrupt in 2009. Ford and Tesla are the only US car companies that have avoided bankruptcy.”
“@raytech247 @WholeMarsBlog The Model 3 production ramp was sheer agony for two years, but that was do or die for Tesla. No US car company has reached high volume production with sustained free cash flow in ~100 years. Hundreds of car startups all died or were absorbed for peanuts by big three.”
“Turn volume to 11 & play Powerglide in your Tesla https://t.co/l07Yc02P7g https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=95Rzsn-zjr0”
“Music volume on a Tesla goes to 11, because it’s louder than 10 https://t.co/ab5hAMo3EN https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KOO5S4vxi0o”
“@Mike94160775 @Tesla @ElectrekCo @Teslarati Glad you’re ok!”
“@Sofiaan @Tesla Haha”
“@officialalishap @flcnhvy @Tesla Glad to hear your Mom is ok”
“@ValaAfshar @Tesla Having a low center of gravity makes a world of difference to safety”
“@teslavibes That’s total market, not all Tesla. We do see Tesla reaching 20M vehicles/year probably before 2030, but that requires consistently excellent execution.”
“@brian_heide @Tesla What about a heavy duty, paintball machine gun mounted on the bed rails?”
