@arctechinc Everyone who bought FSD will receive priority/early access

Price increase for Tesla FSD postponed until version 10 with smart summon is in wide release, which is about 4 to 8 weeks away, depending on how early access goes

@justpaulinelol Not risky imo & can be adjusted/improved real-time. Essentially need to figure out most effective way to convert mass to energy, as Mars is slightly too far from this solar system’s fusion reactor (the sun).

@wingod @DJSnM @ThePhoenixFlare True, diverting a comet would be super hard. Could be done with small asteroids & a mass driver, but this is risky.

Nuke Mars refers to a continuous stream of very low fallout nuclear fusion explosions above the atmosphere to create artificial suns. Much like our sun, this would not cause Mars to become radioactive.

@JaneidyEve Will probably make sense to do this when Starship Mk 1 has 3 Raptors, moving body fins & landing gear installed, which is hopefully mid September

@HarryStoltz1 @ThePhoenixFlare Will be converted to Raptor vertical test stand

@ThePhoenixFlare Trickier than it may seem on Mars, as atmospheric density is 1% that of Earth & gravity is 38%, but doable for localized warming

@eatinggaming94 @4thFromOurStar 🤣🤣

Might make sense to have thousands of solar reflector satellites 🛰 to warm Mars vs artificial suns (tbd)

@SciGuySpace @hover389 AF certification required an enormous amount of work. It’s mostly design-review based, not flight-based.

@MemesOfMars @Teslarati @ray4tesla Yeah, would be great to get feedback from Tesla supporters

@teslaownersSV @Teslarati Initially Model 3, later Y

@Teslarati Looking forward to seeing Giga Shanghai soon 😀 Amazing work by Tesla China team & support of authorities much appreciated!

@flcnhvy @SciGuySpace Not yet

@SciGuySpace This is a great idea
