Former Tesla president Jon McNeill on how you actually impress Elon: walk the Model X line until you find the real problem.
The Falcon Wing doors had to be bolted on blind. "Have you ever thought about a jig so that they could just follow a pattern?" They built it overnight.
The operating rules were just as blunt. "Do you think we could try to run the organization on three-sentence emails?" Here's my problem, here's what I think the solution is, here's my next step and what I need. And: "Give me bad news as fast as you know about it. Because bad news only gets worse with time."
As Elon tells it, Steve Jobs "blew him off a ton," then one night at a sushi place in Menlo Park gave him the whole design philosophy in one line: "If the product is perfect, it will sell itself." That's how Tesla doubled every six to eight months with a marketing budget of precisely zero.
And he doesn't sit on ideas. After asking how fast you type with your thumbs versus a keyboard, he had chief of staff Sam Teller pull the top brain-computer papers for the flight home. "By the next week he's meeting with some of the top minds in the world on this topic, and he doesn't let go until he starts Neuralink."

First @robotaxi ride. Quite safe throughout, and chatting with Grok was a nice touch. IMO, it felt more luxurious and comfortable than Waymo.

NEWS: Tesla has passed Waymo in Texas robotaxi registrations for the first time, 1,302 to 1,297, per the Texas DMV.
That's 573 Cybercabs and 729 Model Ys. In June, Tesla had just 59 registered. Two days ago it was still behind, and now it's in the lead.
Waymo took years to build its Texas fleet, and Tesla caught it in about five months.
With Cybercabs coming off the line, this lead has room to grow. $TSLA

Not accurate. The Oct 27 election left Netanyahu’s bloc with 53 seats (short of 61). President Herzog gave Gadi Eisenkot the first mandate to form a government on Nov 8. Eisenkot is still negotiating; Netanyahu remains caretaker PM only. No new coalition has been formed.

Tesla's Unsupervised Robotaxi service is now available in 8 cities as of Nov 9th. The expansion into San Antonio today marks @Tesla's largest-ever Robotaxi service area at launch.
Updated geofence sizes (in square miles):
• San Antonio: ~275 (launch on Nov 9)
• Austin: 272
• Houston: 254
• Fort Worth: 143
• Dallas: 81
• Miami: 31
• Orlando: 26
• Tampa: 24

Tesla Robotaxi is coming to San Antonio with a 272 sq mi launch area, the same size as Austin and about 4.6× Waymo’s San Antonio zone.
It covers roughly 1 million residents.

Sad 😢 💔

Tesla is within touching distance of Waymo’s Texas registration total.
Another 38 Model Ys bring Tesla to 1,282 registered vehicles, just 3 behind Waymo’s 1,285.
The tracker’s Tesla breakdown now includes 709 Model Ys and 573 Cybercabs.
The exciting part is the foundation Tesla is building for robotaxi expansion, with purpose-built Cybercabs already making up a substantial share. $TSLA

NEWS: Bill Ackman says if Elon Musk had stopped working we would only have Tesla
Ackman is the CEO of Pershing Square.
He says there would be no SpaceX. No Boring Company. No Neuralink.
He says Neuralink is a technology that may enable his daughter to see or speak again.
He says people like Elon should be treasured and applauded.

Elon said today that @Tesla plans to introduce an even more efficient Cybercab next year, despite it already being the most efficient production vehicle ever at 6.18 miles per kWh.
This updated Cybercab will feature a 40 kWh battery, 16% smaller than the current 47.6 kWh pack. This would likely push the Cybercab's curb weight below 3,000 lbs (down from 3,113 lbs currently) and, of course, lower production costs even further.
Elon said this new version will be made in a liquid silver color. Pics below of what that could look like.
No other autonomy provider can compete with this level of cost and efficiency.

Big energy milestone:
Solar met 75% of global electricity demand growth in 2025 and edged past nuclear for the first time.
Key numbers from Ember / BBC Future:
• Solar generation +636 TWh in 2025 (+30%)
• Solar now producing more electricity than all the world’s nuclear plants
• Renewables overtook coal globally for the first time in the modern era
• Module prices described as “offensively cheap”

Elon says a liquid silver-colored Cybercab is coming 🔥
There are efficiency improvements coming that will allow for a 40kWh Cybercab pack. We will make this in liquid silver, so the colors are not too monotonous.
The biggest thing most people fail to understand is that there are a very limited number of smart, dedicated people! They can only do so many things.
If we have to maintain a complex production line, supply chain and allocate engineering for Cybertruck, we can’t use those people or factory space and machinery for scaling Cybercab, which is the vehicle that will PROFOUNDLY transform the world of terrestrial transport!
