@LittleMissFlint Yes … no … maybe …

@bonnienorman @tomb2192 @carpenter_maas Ok

@WorldAndScience Yes! People are almost always surprised to learn that Earth’s gravitational reach is infinite. “Zero gravity” is achieved by zooming around Earth super fast until outward acceleration equals inward acceleration of gravity.

@javagiri @Tesla We’re opening a lot of Tesla service centers next year, including Knoxville. Tesla will post upcoming city opening map this week.

@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.

@TechCrunch Clayton is wrong. New tech is always expensive. Tech disruption occurs at *high end*, eg computers & cell phones. It takes many design iterations & vast economies of scale to achieve mass market affordability. https://t.co/Z81VfL0yaz

@JT_Richards @MMelinot @chuckyyyd This is incorrect. Vast majority of vehicle motion is returned to the battery, as the electric motors act like a generator in reverse. Brake pads on a Tesla literally never need to be replaced for lifetime of the car.

@Robotbeat @michaelknaepen @ElSchumi @FredericLambert @boringcompany Exactly

In other words, you may be able to get a Tesla before the $7500 US tax credit drops in 2 weeks, even if you haven’t placed an order yet

@MesQueUnBanjo We are awaiting EU regulatory approval for this release

@JohnKasich Thanks, will consider next year

None shall pass!

@brandonorselli Buying https://t.co/46TXqRrsdr took over a decade, $11M & amazing amount of effort. Didn’t like https://t.co/BsRfMrY9Gm even when we were only making 🚘.

@DOfaquarius @ElonsBrain @LiveBit_io @60Minutes So true 🦙💩✨😴

Presentation starting at 8:15

@John_Gardi @martinengwicht @Erdayastronaut @NASASpaceflight @JeromeJaccard @Robotbeat @alan1bernard Coldformed at cryo

@quantumVerd @QuilletteM @pewdiepie Only if Dawkins joins

@rokosslav @grafikhure_de @StevenHardison Much less

@business Incorrect. “Chairman” is an honorific, not executive role, which means it’s not needed to run Tesla. Will retire that title at Tesla in 3 years. 60 Mins edited out end of my sentence, where I said I could do whatever I want. They cut “provided I have the support of shareholders”.

Capable of traveling safely at over 150mph. At that speed, it will feel like teleporting within a city.

@13ericralph31 @NCBirbhan @AwakenedParadi1 @demishassabis Exactly

@NutmegTheRed @Tesla Ok

@DJSnM Yes, signal acquired from that dish

@Erdayastronaut @NASASpaceflight @_Synders @John_Gardi @martinengwicht @JeromeJaccard @Robotbeat @alan1bernard You def don’t want electric pumps on a rocket engine! Raptor turbopumps alone need 100,000 horsepower per engine. That’s not a typo.

Engineering is true magic

@flaneur @boringcompany Actually way more capacity, way faster & way more convenient. Subways are fine, but it’s time to upgrade to something better.

@wolfejosh 💨

This can be applied to any autonomous, electric vehicle, not just Tesla

64 satellites 🛰 on this flight!

@annerajb Pretty good. I have confirmation turned off on my engineering build & interventions are rare. Probably ready to enable no confirmation setting next month.

@FredericLambert @boringcompany You’re right. We did have a sim ready, but it was confusing, so I didn’t include it. We’re working on one that makes things clear.

@nichegamer Yezzz

@EricIdle Exactly 😀

@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.

@AwakenedParadi1 @demishassabis 30%

@Dodo723 Yes

@John_Papa @Tesla You should def have a loaner. Will take care of it.

@NASASpaceflight @_Synders @John_Gardi @martinengwicht @Erdayastronaut @JeromeJaccard @Robotbeat @alan1bernard Yes. Radically redesigned Raptor ready to fire next month.

Grid fin hydraulic pump stalled, so Falcon landed just out to sea. Appears to be undamaged & is transmitting data. Recovery ship dispatched.

The demo ride takes you in *same* car on road, down elevator, zips through tunnel using guide wheels, up elevator at destination & then drives on normal roads back to start

At SpaceX Boca Chica launch site in Texas https://t.co/MtxkuhDDdE

@johnkrausphotos Incoming rocket & fairing probably visible, but landing itself is over the horizon

@dxk_ @ZainRaz4 @Erdayastronaut @SpaceX Three things, one of which is CH4

@Erdayastronaut @TheGledinator @w00ki33 @Teslarati But cool pics of the demo Starship that will fly suborbital hops coming in ~4 weeks

@13ericralph31 @AwakenedParadi1 @demishassabis Probability at 60% & rising rapidly due to new architecture

A variety of vehicles, like normal roads, from a small car to a densely seated bus. Must be seated & belted for high speed safety.

@DeadstockNYC Reverse back down (using same roller guide wheels, so no skill required) & tow or flatbed it out

@pfierens @LikeTeslaKim Prof Dahn is correct (he’s great), but the relative benefit is small. I’d recommend 10% more SoC for convenience.

Also, Tesla policy is that if you order a car without a test drive you get 3 days to return for full refund vs 1 day if you do get a test drive (resources are overbooked)
