The head to head test everyone was looking for is here. With OOS data, here are a couple graphs that tell the story. The issue isn't that the R2 is inefficient, it is that the battery is not enough to make up for its inefficiency. My 2020 MY LR AWD went farther 6 years ago at 70 MPH. This is NOT what most *rational people were expecting.
As always, super lucky to have Kyle and team willing to put in the work to get these tests done, and to Jose for being brave enough to put his brand new R2 through the gauntlet.
For my first post, I’m sharing a letter @NVIDIA signed on why open models matter.
AI will transform every industry, power every company, and be built by every country.
Open models strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty.
The world needs both frontier closed models and frontier open models.

The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has released its preliminary report on last month's Model 3 house crash in Texas.
They found the driver did press the accelerator pedal to 100%, overriding FSD (Supervised), supporting @Tesla's argument that driver action caused the crash.
Report: "On June 19, 2026, a 2025 Tesla Model 3 electric car, occupied solely by a 44-year-old driver, was traveling east on Rose Hollow Lane in Katy, Harris County, Texas, when it departed the roadway, partially entered a driveway, and crashed into a residence. At the time of the crash, the driver had engaged Tesla’s FSD (Supervised). Electronic data recovered from the vehicle indicated that before the crash, the driver manually overrode FSD (Supervised) by pressing the accelerator pedal to 100%, and the vehicle’s speed was greater than 70 mph when the crash occurred. As a result of the crash, an occupant in the residence was fatally injured and the driver sustained minor injuries.
Rose Hollow Lane is a residential two-lane road with one westbound and one eastbound lane and a speed limit of 30 mph. In the eastbound direction, Rose Hollow Lane terminates at an intersection with Blooming Park Lane, requiring through-traffic to turn right. Security camera footage showed the car’s path of travel as it continued straight through the intersection, departed the roadway, and struck the residence.
At the time of the crash, the weather was clear, the roadway was dry, and daylight conditions were present.
Parties to the NTSB investigation include:
• Harris County Sheriff's Office
• Tesla
All aspects of the crash remain under investigation while the NTSB determines the probable cause, with the intent of issuing safety recommendations to prevent similar crashes."
The path to launch is filled with obstacles and success is only possible through the tireless efforts of many working together towards a common goal. “Critical Path” continues the ongoing Starship series, following SpaceX engineers through the final days before launch of the first Starship V3 and the challenges that come with development of the world’s most powerful and fully reusable rocket.
