Max thrust of 2550 tons will be almost 10% higher than Falcon Heavy demo mission last year

Static fire data looks good so far. This is first launch of Falcon Heavy Block 5, so we’re being extra cautious. Launch date might move.

@abledoc @fentrocity @Real_John_D @MitchellHagan @MarcelFeldkamp Exactly

“…drivers in this dataset use Autopilot for 34.8% of their driven miles, and yet appear to maintain a relatively high degree of functional vigilance.”

@ninatweets @transopac @newscientist Hi Nina! So … how many £ would it take? Just between us.

Stay positive 🧁 https://t.co/UJFreuacNP

@transopac @newscientist Good point

@transopac @newscientist How much is it?

@transopac @newscientist 🤔

@newscientist I think I’ve paid for a subscription at least three times, but your paywall keeps forgetting this

@newscientist Please fix your paywall. Your content is great, but your paywall is not.

@PatrickWStanley @LivingTesla @Tesla Yes

@MitchellHagan @MarcelFeldkamp Yes, instead of someone needing to drive their car personally, they can manage a fleet of self-driving cars

@MarcelFeldkamp That’s exactly the idea. What’s not well understood is that Tesla cars being made *today* will be able to do that for you. Just a matter of finishing the software & going through regulatory approval. Will be explained in depth via live webcast on April 22.

@JohnnaCrider1 @patrickc @Tesla Thanks 😀

@patrickc @Tesla Great work with Stripe btw. Much needed.

@bluemoondance74 @solussd @Tesla I’m told it’s looking positive & we will be allowed to continue servicing our cars in Texas

@solussd @Tesla Sentry Mode is barely at V1.0. Will improve a lot in coming months.

@slye @LivingTesla @Tesla Impressive analysis

@LivingTesla @Tesla Only external cameras are being used right now, so internal is not enabled. When it is enabled, we’ll add a setting to disable internal camera.

@LivingTesla @Tesla Also, it can be used to supplement cameras on outside of vehicle, as it can see through 2nd side windows & rear window.

@LivingTesla @Tesla It’s there for when we start competing with Uber/Lyft & people allow their car to earn money for them as part of the Tesla shared autonomy fleet. In case someone messes up your car, you can check the video.
