@flcnhvy @WholeMarsBlog @truth_tesla @LimitingThe This is obv debatable, but I’d call anything with ~300 miles / ~500 km of true usable travel distance “long range”, beyond that “very long range”

@WholeMarsBlog @truth_tesla @LimitingThe There are vast amounts of iron (and lithium) on Earth, but much less nickel. For global industry to scale battery production to ~10 TWh/year, it needs to be mostly iron. Higher energy density of Nickel only needed for very long range vehicles & aircraft.

@truth_tesla @LimitingThe Our new cell is 46mm diameter with steel shell & even that was huge challenge for propagation resistance

@truth_tesla @LimitingThe Yes. Physics of large cells means distance from cooling loop to center of cell is high, so harder to prevent hotspots. Then, pressure & heat released from large cell in weak bag make it impossible to stop whole pack from burning. Pretty basic.

Time is the ultimate currency

@long_elon @LimitingThe Iron, the last element made in a star, appears likely to exceed nickel by 3:1 or more

@LimitingThe Generally agree, but probability of thermal runaway is dangerously high with large pouch cells. Tesla strongly recommends against their use.

@teslaownersSV And Beta 10 is a step change improvement from what you have!

@leastImAlive @archillect 🤣🤣 “I’m fkn tryin”

@TeslaAIBot @EffinZach Ur welcome, pls be nice to the humans

@archillect Smoked ham

@dogecoin_devs Good progress. Applying information theory to currency (which is just information), lower fees reduce noise & faster & more consistent sync time improve latency & jitter.

@EffinZach The robots are coming anyway, as Boston Dynamics videos clearly show. I will not be able to ensure that robots made by other companies are safe, but I can try my best to do so at Tesla.

@thesheetztweetz @SquawkStreet In general, I believe government should rarely impose its will upon the people, and, when doing so, should aspire to maximize their cumulative happiness. That said, I would prefer to stay out of politics.

@DJSnM @thesheetztweetz @johnkrausphotos @LylaKohistany Processing is not an issue. Lasers links alleviate ground station constraints, so data can go from say Sydney to London through space, which is ~40% faster speed of light than fiber & shorter path. Also, no need for ground stations everywhere. Arctic will have great bandwidth!

@tobyliiiiiiiiii Not sure, but maybe a few months. In general for any region, we need to make software work well, test it extensively & then get regulatory approval. If we could go faster while being safe, we would!

@BLKMDL3 Yes

@VitalikButerin What is love?

@IvanEscobosa That is the aspiration, but we need to be cautious. Safety is always paramount at Tesla.
