@GeorgeJ77919458 @Tesla @elonmusk You have lots of options and some may not age well. What are your sources of reliable independent information?
You seem to be making the mistake of "betting against" Musk and Tesla.

@Zacitus @SawyerMerritt @geistedc Was that true for all the stalls at this supercharger?

[David Funk 🇺🇦🦊 @5seas]

Tesla superchargers are great for long distance (>500 miles) trips. You don't need to charge to 100%. You charge enough to get to the next charger that is 2 to 3 hours driving. The charging time ranges from 12 to 18 minutes. Most people are not aware how long they stop to refuel and refresh after driving 3 hours. Most doctors recommend moving your body after sitting for 2 hours!

@JoeTegtmeyer I keep wondering how well these doors work in a garage when a wall or object is
< 2 feet away?

@EricETesla @TheEVuniverse Where are the external manual door release/opener?

@TeslaBoomerMama @realDonaldTrump @EpochTimes Also what do you think about Trump's "green energy scam"?
He implies that Tesla is scamming the world!

@TeslaBoomerMama @realDonaldTrump @EpochTimes A speech filled with falsehoods interleaved with insults and touches of confusion about Iceland daddy.
Amazing!

@elonmusk You should know by now that Mr Miller cannot be trusted to tell the truth. He has a history of lies.

What President pardoned and released violent criminals, drug dealers and fraudsters? Name and shame.

Andrew Taake: According to the FBI, Taake assaulted Capitol Police officers with pepper spray and a metal whip. He was sentenced to over six years in prison for his role in the insurrection. After Trump’s pardon, he was rearrested on previous charges of soliciting a minor. 

Edward Kelley: Kelley was one of the first insurrectionists to breach the Capitol and was found guilty on several charges related to January 6th. He was convicted on charges of plotting to murder the FBI agents who investigated him in the January 6th case and is scheduled to be sentenced in July. 

Emily Hernandez: Hernandez pleadedguilty to entering and remaining in a building and restricted grounds. After Trump’s pardon, she was sentenced to 10 years in prison for causing a drunk driving accident in 2022 that killed one person and injured another. 

Daniel Ball: According to prosecutors, Ball attacked police officers with an explosive device during the insurrection. He was rearrested days after Trump’s pardon for illegal gun possession given his felony record of domestic violence and strangulation. 

David Daniel: According to prosecutors, Daniel was part of the attempt to break through a barricaded Senate door and pleaded guilty to resisting police officers. He remains in custody after Trump’s pardon on possession of child sexual abuse material charges brought in 2024. 

Shane Jason Woods: Woods pleaded guilty to assaulting police and a press photographer. After Trump’s pardon, Woods was convicted in April for multiple counts including reckless homicide and driving under the influence in 2022.

Brent John Holdridge: Holdridge pleadedguilty to parading, demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol building on January 6th. He was arrested in May for stealing tens of thousands of dollars worth of industrial copper wire and faces charges of burglary, grand theft and possession of stolen property.

@farzyness Re Robotaxis in Harrisburg PA
Tesla should put Robotaxis in every state capital in the USA. All politicians need direct exposure to FSD.
Butts in seats make a big positive impression. The sooner the better!

@dillonloomis @fdcrypto4 These doors cannot completely open in most home garages and parking spots. IMO not practical if you can't get into your car where it's parked.

[David Funk 🇺🇦🦊 @5seas]

Ben, with your Looney Tunes article you have really embarrassed yourself. That Roper story is old and out of date. You don't seem to understand the difference between autopilot and FSD. As you can find out, FSD software does stop the Tesla before the cartoon wall. If you can't stop misleading your readers, then you should stop writing for SupercarBlondie.

@DrKnowItAll16 Selling covered calls on $200k of TSLA or NVDA can yield ~$4k per month. It can be a low effort, low stress way to increase income.

I asked Grok:
Compare the inference capabilities of Tesla fleet of ai3 and ai4 of cars with xai colossus, the short is
The Tesla fleet leads in raw theoretical inference scale—about 3x Colossus—leveraging its distributed edge deployment, though effective utilization is far lower due to decentralization.

@woodhaus2 Franz, congratulations on all your accomplishments at Tesla. Your designs are a true art form. Love the Model S, CT.
Thanks for the fun conversation at the diner August 11.

EXCLUSIVE REPORT: I spent over a week digging up EV sales across 58 markets and ended up mapping 99.7% of all EV sales that took place in 2024.

The EV adoption is much further along than what they want us to think.
