Replying to @Tesla
@Tesla may have solved one of the biggest problems EVs face on a racetrack: sustaining performance lap after lap.
In April, I sat down with @joejustice, who owns and runs WIKISPEED EV Racing (@WIKISPEED). He described what happens when he pushes an EV on track. Around 30 minutes in, the battery gets hot. Power drops. The car goes from racing to crawling.
Six months later, @larsmoravy explained how Tesla is engineering the new Roadster to overcome that limitation.
The changes start inside the battery:
• Double-sided cooling. Coolant tubes on both sides of the cells give heat a shorter path out.
• Aluminum cell cans. Less weight and better heat transfer than conventional steel cans.
• One-directional coolant flow. Coolant enters cold on one side of the pack and exits hot on the other before being cooled and recirculated. This produces more uniform heat flow than the usual down-and-back arrangement.
• A titanium upper plate. Thinner and lighter than the usual steel cover, with better thermal insulation.
• Custom 4680 cells. Chemistry developed specifically for high power, combined with a pack architecture designed to sustain it.
And there’s a bonus: the same changes that help the battery deliver power and control heat also help it charge faster. In @Hagerty's walkthrough, the target is 15–80% in about 10 minutes.
Lap. Recharge. Repeat.
That’s the goal. Now the production car has to prove it.

The future has arrived
Our Robotaxi vehicle lineup now includes Cybercab, our first purpose-built autonomous vehicle without a steering wheel or pedals - launching now in Austin, Texas
Designed for safety, accessibility and comfort, Cybercab is bringing autonomy to everyone and every ride
Grok @Bot is like hiring an awesome employee

The Cybercab has officially surpassed the Model Y in total robotaxi registrations in Texas.
Vehicles registered for Tesla’s Robotaxi fleet in Texas:
• Cybercab: 544
• Model Y: 507
Total: 1,051

Tesla just registered another 81 Cybercabs for its Robotaxi fleet, bringing the total number of Cybercabs registered to date to 546, according to the Texas DMV.
This means Tesla has now added nearly 200 Cybercabs to its robotaxi in just the last week alone.

Franz pulling up to the Petersen dinner in the new Tesla Roadster.
Love the dihedral doors. They popped the rear so everyone could look at the COPV.
This is pushing the EU to approve the FSD in the incoming meeting scheduled about January! 10 de unos 44 países ya lo han aceptado, 1/4 parte ha decidido NO ESPERAR a la Unión Europea, esto indica el compromiso por la seguridad de sus países y no querían esperar a la burocracia Europea y sus intereses. Bravo por esos 10 países que han dado un paso al frente!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

You can now book a Tesla taxi in Prague that drives itself (Supervised)🇨🇿
Czech ride-hailing app Liftago launched “Autodrive” on Oct 22:
• Pick the Autodrive category in the app
• A Tesla running Tesla Assisted Driving picks you up
• A professional driver supervises every ride
• Fixed price upfront
• Trial of several weeks, Brno could be next
Not a robotaxi just yet
But it’s exactly how robotaxi markets start: supervised rides, paying customers, real-world data --> actual Unsupervised deployment
Habitualize and familiarise people with the tech
Czechia simply recognized the Dutch RDW approval
Germany still has no decision.
Amsterdam might be next? 👀 If you follow me you'll be the first to know!
