Our Lithium Refinery is designed to have a much lower carbon footprint than traditional hard rock refineries
– Acid-free refining helps produce a safe coproduct
– Water is recycled throughout production, with every drop treated & cleaned on site
– Designed to close the loop for lithium in our battery supply chain
Elon Musk thinks the entire education system is built on a broken assumption.
That every student should learn the same thing. At the same speed. In the same order. At the same time.
Musk: “Everyone goes through from like 5th grade to 6th grade to 7th grade like it’s an assembly line. But people are not objects on an assembly line.”
The model was designed for a factory economy. Standardized inputs. Predictable outputs.
That economy is gone. The assembly line is gone.
But the education system still runs on its logic.
A student who masters algebra in two weeks sits through eight more weeks because the calendar says so. A student who struggles gets dragged forward because the schedule doesn’t wait.
Neither is being served. Both are being processed.
Musk: “Allow people to progress at the fastest pace that they can or are interested in, in each subject.”
AI doesn’t teach a classroom. It teaches a student.
One at a time. Every time.
It skips what a student already knows. It finds where they’re stuck and approaches it from a different angle.
It adjusts in real time. Not at the end of a semester when the damage is already done.
A student obsessed with basketball learns fractions through shooting percentages. A student who builds in Minecraft learns geometry through architecture.
The subject doesn’t change. The entry point does.
No teacher with thirty students can do this. Not because they lack skill.
Because the math doesn’t work.
AI doesn’t have that constraint.
Musk: “You do not need to tell your kid to play video games. They will play video games on autopilot all day. So if you can make it interactive and engaging, then you can make education far more compelling.”
The brain isn’t broken. The format is.
Kids learn complex systems and strategic thinking for hours voluntarily. Then walk into a classroom and can’t focus for twenty minutes.
That’s not a discipline problem. That’s a design problem.
Musk: “A university education is often unnecessary. You probably learn the vast majority of what you’re going to learn there in the first two years. And most of it is from your classmates.”
Four years. Six figures of debt.
And the real value comes from the people sitting next to you. Not the institution charging you.
The degree doesn’t certify knowledge. It certifies endurance.
Musk: “If the goal is to start a company, I would say no point in finishing college.”
The system was built to train employees. If you’re not trying to be one, it has nothing left to offer you.
Every lecture. Every textbook. Every curriculum. Now available instantly. Personalized to any learner. Adapted to any pace.
The question isn’t whether the old model survives.
It’s how long we keep forcing students through it while the replacement already exists.
🎄SANTA CAME EARLY FOR TESLA OWNERS
Tesla rolling out its 2025 Holiday Release with a laundry list of awesome features.
The headline: Grok now controls your navigation.
Tell the AI where you want to go and it handles the rest.
Your car's assistant is now actually... an assistant.
Dog Mode gets a major upgrade for iPhone users.
Leave your good boy in the car and get live cabin snapshots, temperature readings, and climate updates straight to your phone.
Pet parents, rejoice.
For the practical stuff: Navigation now automatically routes you through HOV lanes when eligible.
Supercharger maps show 3D site layouts with real-time availability.
You can save different charge limits for different locations.
And your car will actually remind you if you left your phone behind.
The fun stuff: Tesla Photobooth turns your cabin into a selfie studio with filters and stickers.
Santa Mode now includes snowmen, trees, and 3D snow effects.
New "Jingle Rush" light show you can sync with your friends' Teslas.
Custom wraps and license plates for your vehicle avatar.
And because it's Tesla: There's now a SpaceX ISS Docking Simulator game using actual NASA astronaut controls.
Other carmakers are celebrating if their infotainment doesn't crash.
Tesla's out here adding space station simulators.

Elon Musk: Now that autonomy is solved, Tesla will expand vehicle production as fast as we possibly can.
“We're going to be ramping up production very dramatically at Tesla. Now that we believe we have full self-driving, that we have autonomy solved, or at least are within a few months of having unsupervised autonomy solved at a reliability level significantly better than human, that means it's time to ramp up production because the value proposition is now much greater than a regular car.
The killer app really is for people, can you text and drive, or can you sleep and drive? Can the car take you to your destination, or do you need to pay attention and have to drive it? And before we allow the car to be driven without paying attention, we need to make sure it's very safe. But like I said, we're on the cusp of that. I know I've said that a few times, but we really are at this point, and you can feel it for yourselves with the 14.1 release.
So, we're going to try to, we're going to push to expand vehicle production as fast as we possibly can. So, aspirationally, we would aim to increase vehicle production by about 50% by the end of next year.”
Tesla Shareholder Meeting, November 6, 2025
ELON: TESLA WILL TURN GROCERY RUNS INTO VIP SERVICE
"In the near future, your Tesla will drop you off at the store entrance and then go find a parking spot.
When you’re ready to exit the store, just tap Summon on your phone and the car will come to you."
What do you think is better for families, Model X or Cybertruck?
We’re lucky enough to have both, but I think Cybertruck’s new tech, and driving characteristics takes the cake.
I think Tesla would do EXTREMELY well if they added a third row to Cybertruck and gave it a liftgate and sold it as a CyberSUV.
@DallasAptGP If you’re able I strongly recommend the wall charger or at least installing a 50a outlet to use the mobile charger. Relying on a 120v plug isn’t practical as it’s miserably slow. With the referral credits you’ll pick up a wall charger at no cost to you. Most convenient by far.
@DallasAptGP of your foot will have a significant impact on your range. Honestly I haven’t put it in chill mode in months, never have an issue with range and absolutely love the instant, silent acceleration. Used in coastal climates, living in coastal south Texas with regular trips to Florida
