“@ghhaugen Full self-driving option is required with the Tesla designed hardware 3 computer. This is a simple plug in replacement for the NVidia computer, but has over 10X the image processing ability.”

“Already testing traffic lights, stop signs & roundabouts in development software. Your Tesla will soon be able to go from your garage at home to parking at work with no driver input at all.”
“If you have a Tesla built in past 2 years, definitely try Navigate on Autopilot. It will blow your mind. Automatically passes slow cars & takes highway interchanges & off-ramps.”
“Major credit to AC Propulsion for the tzero electric sports car 1997-2003 that inspired Tesla Roadster. Without that, Tesla wouldn’t exist or would have started much later. https://t.co/NxCgYO9JXx”
“@nichegamer Yeah, we wanted to name our company after Tesla, the great scientist/engineer, but use of the Tesla name in automotive was already trademarked in the US, Europe & later China.”
“Tesla history trivia: we didn’t actually come up with the Tesla Motors name. Bought trademark off Brad Siewert for $75k in late 2004. He’d originally filed for it in 1994. Our alternative name was Faraday, which was used by a competitor several years later.”
“@Jennerator211 @PPathole @JohnnaCrider1 We’re adding police car, fire truck & ambulance to the Tesla neural net in coming months”
“@JohnnaCrider1 Exactly. Default Autopilot behavior, if there’s no driver input, is to slow gradually to a stop & turn on hazard lights. Tesla service then contacts the owner. Looking into what happened here.”
“@EESNY @teslaownersSV @S100Dfan Applying a hydrophobic coating to the radar (located just below nose of car) should help. Easy to do yourself or Tesla service can do it. We’re also working on vision-only driving.”
“@nikesharora @Tesla Glad you’re ok”
“@carpenter_maas Perhaps most telling is that Norway, which is partly above the Arctic Circle, has more Teslas per capita than any other country on Earth.”
“@MatZagataMD @Tesla You got it!”
“@rainnwilson Your Tesla can function as a boat for brief periods of time https://t.co/FONhnIiv8j https://electrek.co/2016/06/18/tesla-model-s-driving-swimming-flooded-tunnel-video/”
“After safety, our goal is to make a Tesla the most fun you could possibly have in a car”
“Super fun software Easter eggs coming to all Tesla S/3/X cars before the holidays! Romance mode, toilet humor & more video games.”
“You can summon your Tesla from your phone. Only short distances today, but in a few years summon will work from across the continent.”
“Cool! Actually, if you buy a Tesla without a test drive, you have 3 days to return it. If you buy after a test drive, you still have 24 hours. Trying to incent buying with no test drive.”
“Join to create exciting new worlds of technology!! If getting things done matters to you, then @SpaceX, @Tesla, @BoringCompany & @Neuralink are the places to be.”
“@jessedh @Tesla Yeah, good idea to offer that as a setting”
“If you don’t want a Tesla, here’s a list of all electric cars in North America https://t.co/phhBjCh2YI via @cleantechnica https://cleantechnica.com/2018/01/07/electric-vehicles-for-sale-usa/”
“@Orangejamal @speceye @Tesla Good one”
“@FredericLambert @speceye @Tesla Good idea”
“@speceye @Tesla Coming soon”
“@wiredprairie @Tesla Shifting resources from sales to service for next several days”
“Tesla Supercharger capacity will double by end of next year. Expect to be within range of 95% to 100% of population in all active markets.”
“@tsrandall @frozencanuck @ScaleyMurrsuit What really matters is time to volume production, not initial market intro. Apart from brief moments, Tesla vehicle production is limited by total battery output.”
“@LION_LIFER Tesla can provide heating/cooling/lights/music for days using battery”
“@acevedo_lex @stars4a_amy @Tesla Should be possible. Please ask service & lmk response.”
“@WillFealey Ideal situation in breakdown/accident (assuming no injuries) is that Tesla arrives at scene fast with top-of-the-line service loaner”
“Will allow having your car picked up & dropped off or using mobile Tesla Rangers service vans if car lift isn’t needed”
“Adding functionality to Tesla phone app allowing owners to request service for top issues with 1 or 2 taps”
“@annerajb It will alert Tesla service automatically as fan power required to achieve target pressure drop exceeds spec level”
“Tesla just acquired trucking capacity to ensure Model 3 can be delivered in US by Dec 31 if ordered by Nov 30 https://t.co/npmPuSXNWC https://3.tesla.com/model3/design#battery”
“@nichegamer Would be fun to add to Tesla”
“If Tesla can help people in California wildfire, please let us know. Model S & X have hospital grade HEPA filters. Maybe helpful for transporting people.”
“Please lmk what you’d most like improved/fixed about your Tesla. Thanks!”
“@exzacklyright @MKBHD @austinnotduncan @Tesla Cool”
“@Tesla With similar track wheels/tires/brakes, Model S P100D is faster”
“@Erdayastronaut @Tesla Yes”
“@Tesla Would like to thank Robyn for joining the team. Great respect. Very much look forward to working together.”
“@trobbu @Tesla Haha”
“@Scobleizer @Tesla They’re great! Honored to work with them.”
“@vincent13031925 @Teslarati @panasonic To clarify further, the long-term goal for Tesla mass market products is local production for local markets (at least at the continent level). This is critical to make pricing as affordable as possible.”
“@vincent13031925 @Teslarati @panasonic Tesla will manufacture all battery modules & packs at China Giga, as we do today in California & Nevada. Cell production will be sourced locally, most likely from several companies (incl Pana), in order to meet demand in a timely manner.”
“@Teslarati Amazing results by @Panasonic at Tesla Gigafactory Nevada! Very much appreciate extreme hard work it took to achieve this result. Together with Pana Japan cell plants, Tesla/Pana partnership is producing ~60% of global EV battery output!”
“@InsideEVs @Tesla #’s r wrong, but 🐻 in 🧠 Tesla makes 🚘s 4 overseas & East Coast in 1st half of quarter”
“Car will drive to your phone location & follow you like a pet if you hold down summon button on Tesla app”
“Tesla advanced Summon ready in ~6 weeks! Just an over-the-air software upgrade, so will work on all cars made in past 2 years (Autopilot hardware V2+).”
“@rarelyserious @Tesla For those unfamiliar, this uses Tesla Autopark/Summon. Slightly smarter version hopefully ready soon. By next year, a Tesla should be able to drive around a parking lot, find an empty spot, read signs to confirm it’s valid & park.”
“@rarelyserious @Tesla Cool haha”
