@SamTwits I hope they’re able to achieve high production & breakeven cash flow. That is the true test.
There have been hundreds of automotive startups, both electric & combustion, but Tesla is only American carmaker to reach high volume production & positive cash flow in past 100 years.

@24_7TeslaNews @teslaownersSV @SpaceX Hoping to start releasing to 98 scores with V10.5 in about 10 days
282
@teslaownersSV @24_7TeslaNews @SpaceX No guarantees, but maybe next month. Requires quite a lot of incremental testing & code tweaks for different road system in Canada.

@NASASpaceflight Good static fire with all six engines!

@SamTwits Founding story of Tesla as portrayed by Eberhard is patently false. I wish I had never met him.
Eberhard is by far the worst person I’ve ever worked with in my entire career. Given how many people I’ve worked with over the years, that’s really saying something …
285
@teslaownersSV @SamTwits He came damn close to killing Tesla through a combination of bad management decisions, driving out talented people, bad engineering, major blunders in supply chain & an elaborate deception about the true cost & schedule of the Tesla Roadster.
286
@teslaownersSV @SamTwits Thinking of doing a podcast “Hardcore History” style that tells what really happened at Tesla in those early years
287
@teslaownersSV @SamTwits Once the board was presented with the evidence of Eberhard’s deception/fraud & the dire state of the company, all board members, including those he appointed, voted unanimously to fire him in August 2007.

@SpaceIntellige3 @SpaceX @SpaceXStarlink @nkknspace @HomemDoEspacoBr @InfographicTony @cnunezimages @spacex360 Inter-satellite laser communications means Starlink can carry data at speed of light in vacuum all around Earth before touching ground.
Over time, some amount of communication can simply be from one user terminal to another without touching the Internet.

@SpaceIntellige3 @SpaceX @SpaceXStarlink @nkknspace @HomemDoEspacoBr @InfographicTony @cnunezimages @spacex360 Should work everywhere for global maritime by roughly middle of next year (enough sats with laser links launched). Until then, it will be patchy when far from land.

@slashdot Tesla Megapack batteries will help stabilize the grid this winter

@_rykllan @SpaceX @NASASpaceflight @FelixSchlang @MarcusHouse @bluemoondance74 The rocket fleet grows

@SpaceXMR Such a beautiful day to launch

@jordanski20 @slashdot Megapacks are deployed to stabilize the grid itself, especially effective for absorbing peak loads. They save consumers money.

@GailAlfarATX @JohnnaCrider1 @WholeMarsBlog @TeslaOwnersEBay @RationalEtienne @EvaFoxU @Boxabl I’ve actually been living in a ~$50k house in south Texas for past 2 years, not Boxabl (cool product tho).
Feels more homey to live in a small house.

@ICannot_Enough Please don’t read too much into this. As mentioned publicly, Tesla is constrained by chip supply short-term & cell supply long-term.
Not possible to produce additional vehicles in volume until both constraints are addressed.
