@WholeMarsBlog @ajtourville @comma_ai @Tesmanian_com Yes

@DanielleFong @ajtourville @comma_ai @Tesmanian_com Absolutely needs liquid cooling. We’re applying our experience cooling half megawatt drive unit power electronics in cars to computers.

@TeslaTested That’s an error in Canada. The lease payment is specifically lower than loan financing, as Tesla expects to repossess the car. This is essentially a bet on residual value. If you believe residual value will rise, buy on loan, if you think it will drop, then lease.

@tobyliiiiiiiiii @Erdayastronaut @nextspaceflight We will push for ten flights with Starlink

@flcnhvy @Erdayastronaut @nextspaceflight Almost never need to replace whole engine, but some individual parts like turbine wheels need to be replaced over time. Similar to a jet engine.

@Erdayastronaut @cnunezimages @SpaceIntellige3 Mostly for employees, but we’ll support public access whenever it’s safe & secure. Public support is critical to making life multiplanetary.

@EvaFoxU @cnunezimages @SpaceIntellige3 Absolutely 😃 🏝

@Erdayastronaut @nextspaceflight I don’t want be cavalier, but there isn’t an obvious limit. 100+ flights are possible. Some parts will need to be replaced or upgraded. Cleaning all 9 Merlin turbines is difficult. Raptor is way easier in this regard, despite being a far more complex engine.

@cnunezimages @SpaceIntellige3 I’ve been working in Boca since Sunday. August heat & humidity in South Texas is intense! If you think of it like a tropical resort, that makes it better though.

@ajtourville @comma_ai @Tesmanian_com Dojo V1.0 isn’t done yet. About a year away. Not just about the chips. Power & cooling problem is hard.

@antonioetayo @Erdayastronaut @C_Bass3d @NASASpaceflight @FelixSchlang Yes

Elevator music is underrated

@Erdayastronaut @C_Bass3d @NASASpaceflight @FelixSchlang It’s counter-intuitive, but Raptor has so much thrust at high Isp with liquid (high density) propellant & pump-fed (light tanks), that it beats hot gas for the flip. That said, hot gas beats the heck out of N2 for orbital manuevers & stabilizing ship if landing in high winds!

@nextspaceflight Payload reduction due to reusability of booster & fairing is <40% for F9 & recovery & refurb is <10%, so you’re roughly even with 2 flights, definitely ahead with 3

@zubinanary @SpaceIntellige3 @guidodecaso @cnunezimages Yes, it will have huge nuts haha

@Teslarati We really need a bigger one, so adults can squeeze in too. Guaranteed to make a party more fun. Works well with flamethrowers!

@SpaceIntellige3 @guidodecaso @cnunezimages My favorite is one in tension, other DoF in compression. New Roadster wheels will only have one nut.

@davidgokhshtein Yes
