@ashleevance Battery energy density is the key to electric aircraft. Autonomy for aircraft could have been done a long time ago. Modern airliners are very close to autonomous.

@Erdayastronaut @NASASpaceflight There were baffles, but one may have acted like a straw to suck bubbles in from above liquid/gas level. Something similar happened on an early Falcon 1 flight, resulting in unexpectedly high liquid oxygen residuals at main engine cutoff.

@Astro_Soichi ♥️ 🇯🇵

@NASASpaceflight Fair point. If autogenous pressurization had been used, CH4 bubbles would most likely have reverted to liquid. Helium in header was used to prevent ullage collapse from slosh, which happened in prior flight. My fault for approving. Sounded good at the time.

@austinbarnard45 SN10 engine was low on thrust due (probably) to partial helium ingestion from fuel header tank. Impact of 10m/s crushed legs & part of skirt. Multiple fixes in work for SN11.

@eurotechjunkie @Alpsoy66 @WholeMarsBlog We will ask the regulators

@WholeMarsBlog Build 8.3 of FSD should be done QA testing by end of next week, so that’s roughly when download button should show up

@WholeMarsBlog Assuming user approves warning & agrees to drive carefully, it will download latest QA-tested FSD “Beta” build as soon as car connects to wifi

@CyberpunkGame Delamain AI cabs should be able to drive themselves when you’re in them & be electric by 2077

@WholeMarsBlog … it until you make it

@thesheetztweetz Not connecting Tesla cars to Starlink, as our terminal is much too big. This is for aircraft, ships, large trucks & RVs.

Starbase, Texas https://t.co/mt4IpqqmjF

@Harbles It’s all hot air in the end haha

@Teslarati @KlenderJoey Still many fine details to address, but the final product will be fantastic. There’s nothing else even close.

@WholeMarsBlog @klwtts Haha true. Yet, still, so much dignity is ascribed to horses!

Carnot efficiency of the Universe?

@engineers_feed Ultimately, yes

Great band, too bad they broke up https://t.co/VQm7HhHw2M

@garyblack00 Update probably in Q2. Cybertruck will be built at Giga Texas, so focus right now is on getting that beast built.

@westcoastbill The $1400 is mostly good imo (UBI lite), as the people get to choose how the money is spent, but the rest is mostly net bad for the people as a whole (though it is obviously characterized otherwise).
