Tesla bull

[Whole Mars Catalog @wholemars]

When Tesla went public in 2010, people thought it was absurdly overvalued, losing money, and likely to fail.

Hard to remember 16 years later after all the success they've had, but here's what people were saying during the IPO in 2010.

Love seeing the Cybertruck used here, it's also a great mobile power source. With the capacity of more than 9 power walls on wheels, it will make this setup easy to deploy and run -- very cool

[Brandon TerMeer @B_lonMusk]

@wholemars Needs to be longer. It gets over for a closed lane in traffic and shortly after forgets and gets back in the closed lane.

• 1x $57,490 Model Y Performance

Plus, $108,690 cash leftover

This New Glenn rocket explosion released 20% of the energy of the Hiroshima atomic bomb and that wasn't even the bad part:

→ The pad: LC-36 is the only pad on Earth that launches New Glenn and now it's gone. Over $1B to build. SpaceX needed 7 months to rebuild after a similar hit.

→ The deadline: Amazon needs 1,618 satellites up by July 30 to keep its FCC license. It has ~300. The rocket that was supposed to help fix that just blew up twice in a row

SpaceX made us believe that landing rockets on barges was a normal expectation. Turns out rocket science is hard after all. Wishing the team a speedy recovery 🚀

Looks cool

General Motors has unveiled a new smaller modular Hummer EV concept in both pickup and SUV form called the Hummer X.

GM: "Hummer X is designed to be configurable – completely and continuously, made possible by flexible manufacturing technology. FLEX FAB enables fast, small-batch, on-demand production, similar to 3D printing, but for metal: no specialized stamping tools, multiple designs from the same machines.

The cockpit is adaptable, with stackable displays that let drivers tailor their digital experience whether they're rock crawling, trail running, or cruising the highway.

A low center of gravity, extreme on-demand acceleration, 35-to-37-inch Goodyear tires, beadlock wheels, Multimatic shocks, removable fender flares, and serious underbody protection give it the capability to take adventurers to places most vehicles simply cannot go."

GMC Hummer X SUV:
• Wheelbase: 116”
• Length: 188.3”
• Height: 72.9”)
• Width: 80”
• Ground Clearance: 13.2”
• Flex Fab Percentage: 57%
• Tires by Goodyear: Rock: 315/75R18 x 9, OD 37”
Wheels: 18" Aluminum with accent inserts

GMC Hummer X truck:
• Wheelbase: 130.7”
• Length: 207.3”
• Height: 73.0”
• Width: 80”
• Ground Clearance: 12.5”
• Flex Fab Percentage: 57%
• Tires by Goodyear: Street: 305/55R22 x 9.5, OD 35”
• Wheels: 22" Aluminum with accent inserts

@DirtyTesLa @WG_Mojo I've noticed 3.3 has been more hesitant pulling into cross traffic compared to 3.2. Same for you? Jittery.

@StevenRoss1987 @Tesla_Asia My mistake. Thats what I meant. Do most new cars have laminated side windows?

[Brandon TerMeer @B_lonMusk]

@richardortaTG @SawyerMerritt @wholemars Summer starts June 1st or June 20th, depending on which way u want to look at it.

[Brandon TerMeer @B_lonMusk]

@SawyerMerritt @wholemars I agree. Hopefully everybody has the spring update before summer. It does leave me curious as to what the hold up is.

"Elon Musk is probably doing more for America than any other American. He's single handedly bringing manufacturing back to America. SpaceX is in some ways the most important defense contractor in America. What he's doing with Starlink is amazing for the world. He's creating all of these blue collar manufacturing jobs which is a goal of a lot of liberals and good for America. He's done more than any living human to decarbonize the world. And if you're upset about data centers on earth for environmental reasons, here you go - he's putting data centers in space" - @GavinSBaker @patrick_oshag
