Summary of efforts Tesla has done to support employees & communities impacted by the LA fires
Impacted employees (home lost or destroyed by fires) We're covering housing accommodations & supporting employees with transportation & meals.
Superchargers
All our Supercharger sites are back online, except Pasadena Supercharger, which was in the middle of the fire.
Megapack Chargers (MPCs)
2 units deployed Friday 1/10 to relieve congestion in Thousand Oaks for evacuation & families losing power due to Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS).
1 unit deployed Saturday 1/11 in Altadena at the Sheriff’s Station for first responder support, providing power & Starlink connectivity. It’s located within their closed perimeter with utility power currently down.
2 mobile switchgear units with step down transformers that enable an MPC to support powering up 208V buildings (vs only 480V) & more utility than charging up EVs.
2 units in San Bernadino
We're also working on deploying units in the Palisades directly
Mobile Powerwall Units (MPUs)
Deployed with support from 3rd party non-profits in Altadena & Topenga Canyon with Starlink & power for devices & fridges.
Cybertrucks (all with Starlinks installed)
3 Cybertrucks are now located at Los Angeles Sheriff's Department in Altadena (+ bed filled with water & snacks)
2 in Pasadena
3 in Zuma Beach & Malibu

@leftcoastbabe Tesla self driving will not work unless you are paying attention. If it detects you looking away to often it will send flashing warnings and FSD will not be available the rest of the trip.
@RolfOptions@boringcompany Everything Elon does since he read all those science fiction novels as a kid is to make those novels come to life to send humans out to new worlds. He will apply first principles thinking in Washington the way he did for all his companies.
Over the weekend in NJ, this Tesla Model X with two young drivers flew off a bridge while avoiding a deer, and landed 15-20 yards into the river below.
The two young girls inside sustained only minor injuries and were out of the vehicle before police arrived.
The Model X saved their lives.
@Jason@KamalaHarris@JoeBiden You would think Kamala claiming to be so supportive of women would have congratulated Gwynne Shotwell. She doesn’t like Elon, fine, but she should have acknowledged the Space X team.
@Studio26151 @whichonespink67 There aren’t enough nurses to put one in every aging patient’s home and staff hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, she needs to solve the severe nursing shortage before promising a nurse in every senior’s home.
