Probably over 30k people working in high-paying jobs at Tesla HQ & manufacturing in Austin by 2028!
Texans love Robotaxi They are all made in Austin by local people and with parts mostly sourced within the USA About 16,500 people work for Tesla at Giga Texas and in the Austin area Thank you Elon Musk β™₯️

I’m so glad this is being done! An important next step is making it autonomous.
This is the electric plane Elon dreamed of! Anders Forslund of Heart Aerospace joins @Jason to show off their electric plane, which used up just $5 worth of power for a full 20-minute trip. Could this change short-haul flights? What locations would these flights best be used at?

The future of transportation
The future of transport is safer, more enjoyable & gives you more time back With theater, music & gaming apps on a 22" touchscreen, Cybercab offers you a space to be productive or unwind Soon to be equipped with V5 Starlink hardware, too, for complete connectivity

Cybercab safety
Cybercab is engineered to be the safest car on the road

Having electric brakes avoids the complexity of a hydraulic system: no need to rout plumbing all around the car
Cybercab uses individual actuators on each brake caliper. Zero brake lines or fluid. This probably makes the unboxed process possible/easier because there are no brake lines running throughout the length of the vehicle, super neat.

The Cybercab motor uses no rare earth metals, but maintains the same range! This was extremely hard to achieve.
The Cybercab drive unit features a simplified bar-wound stator and lubrication system, plus an overall architecture that enables fully automated, sub-10-second cycle times. It is 18% smaller, 25% lighter and more efficient than other top performing electric vehicle drive units.

We’ve come a long way. Tesla IPO value was a thousandth of its current value!
Tesla is now worth MORE than all other publicly traded automakers combined Tesla: $1.511 Trillion Everyone else combined: $1.446 Trillion Toyota, BYD, GM, Hyundai, Mercedes, BMW, Ford, Ferrari, Volkswagen, Porsche...all of them combined And Tesla still stands taller... nothing even comes close

Replying to @shellenberger
Elon Musk may have used his Starlink satellites to steal the 2024 election for Donald Trump, according to a new Alex Gibney documentary seen by The Hollywood Reporter (THR). β€œTwo revelations, or at least intimations, especially stand out,” writes Steven Zeitchik. The first is an allegation by β€œMusk ex and former conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair, a central figure in the documentary,” who says Musk had a β€œdegree of certainty” about the elections that β€œI had never seen before.” She says Musk told her, β€œI have ten thousand lasers in space.” β€œSo you think he was referring to Starlink?” asks Gibney, who has made a series of films about frauds including β€œEnron,” β€œScientology,” and β€œThe Inventor,” about Elizabeth Holmes’s start-up Theranos. β€œI mean, I don’t know where else he has space lasers,” replies St. Clair. According to Zeitchik, Gibney β€œhints he is taking it seriously when he then says in his patented voiceover, β€˜What is Elon building, what are his goals, what are his actual motivations, and do we even know this man at all?’” But election officials in North Carolina, Georgia, and Pennsylvania confirmed what most journalists and people in politics already knew, which is that voting equipment is not connected to the internet. β€œOur election equipment is 100% air-gapped,” said Georgia elections spokesman Mike Hassinger, who called the claims β€œabsolutely conspiratorial nonsense.” And fact-checkers hostile to Musk debunked the Starlink theory in November 2024. FactCheck.org quoted a Georgia official saying β€œNo Georgia election tabulation is connected to the internet, ever, not by Starlink or anything else.” PolitiFact rated the theory β€œPants on Fire.” Poynter traced the theory to Threads posts from despairing Democrats β€œamid a larger wave of election denial claims from liberals that mimic Republicans’ false claims about 2020 election fraud.” And yet at no point in the over 5,000-word THR article does Zeitchik ever mention the fact-checks. Zeitchik did not respond to Public’s request for comment, though THR did, as we describe below... nitter.cf/shellenberger/status/2… Public plays an essential public service in debunking media misinformation.

The future of transport
I've now done a total of 3 hours riding around in @Tesla’s Cybercab and spent a total of $92.51. That travel time would have cost me $200 with Ubers. My longest ride has been ~40 minutes. I legitimately can't come up with any major complaints for FSD V15. None. I’ve spoken to a handful of other people here who say the same. I didn't need to call rider support once. No weird maneuvers, jitteriness, or hesitation. I do think pickup and drop-off locations could use some tweaking (same for Model Y) as you need to walk a bit sometimes, but I think that will get better as V15 progresses. Two things you surprisingly get used to very quickly are having no rearview mirror and no side mirrors. For anyone else trying Cybercab for the first time, I encourage you to recline your seat all the way back and just close your eyes for a minute. Realizing that you can nap in the spot where a driver traditionally sat while the car drives you around with no steering wheel or pedals is a pretty surreal feeling.

The Sun is ~100% of solar system mass
Elon really put into perspective just how insanely massive the Sun is compared to Earth The Sun contains ~99.86% of all the mass in the entire Solar System Earth is basically a rounding error We live on this tiny rock next to an object so massive that almost everything else in the Solar System barely registers And that giant ball of nuclear fusion is dumping an unimaginable amount of energy into space every second

It will only get better
I’ve spent many many hours in every AV I can get my hands on and I can confidently say the Tesla Cybercab is the most enjoyable rider experience I’ve ever had

Over 600 autonomous rocket landings so far
Most people don’t realize how insanely autonomous Falcon 9 already is Once Falcon 9 lifts off, almost the entire mission is executed by the rocket itself And the crazy part is This autonomy does not depend on generative AI It comes from brutally refined flight software, physics, sensors, control theory and advanced optimization.....improved across hundreds of missions Falcon 9 autonomously handles: β†’ Liftoff and ascent through closed-loop guidance β†’ Stage separation at precisely calculated conditions β†’ Engine ignition and shutdown sequences β†’ Orbital insertion and payload deployment β†’ Booster boostback, entry and landing burns β†’ Real-time guidance corrections during descent β†’ Landing on a floating droneship hundreds of kilometers offshore β†’ Autonomous flight termination if mission safety rules are violated A 70-meter orbital rocket launches itself, separates itself, puts a payload into orbit.....then the first stage falls back through the atmosphere and lands itself on a floating platform hundreds of kilometers offshore Physics, software, and hardware engineered to absurd precision Falcon 9 is one of the greatest autonomous machines humanity has ever built And SpaceX made it look routine
