@ICannot_Enough @Model3Owners Coming soon, if you want your car to make a loud farting sound from the external speaker, just say “Fart in their general direction!”

@Teslarati @KlenderJoey Their negative gross margin will be staggering

@teslaownersSV @WholeMarsBlog Our primary challenge is affordability. Creating an expensive truck is relatively easy.
If it is extremely hard to do so for Tesla, despite our much greater economies of scale & better technology, then it is damn near impossible for others.

@JoeBiden Tesla has created over 50,000 US jobs building electric vehicles & is investing more than double GM + Ford combined

@RealLifeLore22 Pretty good summary, although national pride is underweighted relative to economics. Latter serves former, not other way around.
The foundational issue imo, which this video doesn’t ignore, is low birth rate. After all, what good is land with no people?

@JasonDanheiser @WholeMarsBlog @28delayslater Self-driving cars & useful humanoid robots require a sophisticated understanding of reality. I am increasingly convinced that they are on the path to solving AGI.
Should AGI be solved? I don’t know, but humanity is moving rapidly in this direction whether I like it or not.

@WholeMarsBlog The probability of Tesla dying in 2008/2009 was very high. We closed our financing round at 6pm on Dec 24th – the last working hour of the last day before Tesla would otherwise bounce payroll.

@teslaownersSV 🤣🤣 That was me tweeting from @SpaceX when someone else had snatched my name.
I was actually one of the earliest Twitter users, but dropped my account because people were tweeting such trivialities at first. @westcoastbill convinced me to get back in.

@WholeMarsBlog We could’ve made a 600 mile Model S 12 months ago, but that would’ve made the product worse imo, as 99.9% of time you’d be carrying unneeded battery mass, which makes acceleration, handling & efficiency worse. Even our 400+ mile range car is more than almost anyone will use.

@FedorovMykhailo @Brian_J_Berger @SpaceX @SpaceXStarlink @Honda @ChampionGen @westinghouse @DuroMaxPower Solar panels + battery pack better than generator, as no heat signature or smoke & doesn’t run out of fuel

@FedorovMykhailo @Brian_J_Berger @SpaceX @SpaceXStarlink @Honda @ChampionGen @westinghouse @DuroMaxPower @W__Home Solar area will need to be higher with obscuration, but works better than one might think

@katlinegrey @Rogozin Ukraine civilian Internet was experiencing strange outages – bad weather perhaps? – so SpaceX is helping fix it

@genesimmons @JoeBiden Actually, we still operate our California factory, which is the largest auto plant in North America, at full capacity and are considering expanding it significantly.
It has built 2/3 of all electric vehicles in North America, twice as much as all other carmakers combined.

@ICannot_Enough @genesimmons @JoeBiden Our real challenge is Bay Area has negative unemployment, so if we don’t treat and compensate our (awesome) people well, they have many other offers and will just leave!
I’d like hereby to invite UAW to hold a union vote at their convenience. Tesla will do nothing to stop them.

@ICannot_Enough @genesimmons @JoeBiden By the way, Tesla factory worker compensation is the highest in the auto industry reddit.com/r/teslamotors/…

@Teslarati @ResidentSponge This old YouTube clip helps explain why former UAW members who work at Tesla are not huge fans of UAW m.youtube.com/watch?v=S4DZ74…
