Tesla improves self driving software with people who pay $10,000 upgrades on cars Tesla sold them.

Waymo improves self driving software by paying for expensive lidar and engineers to map a single city.

Hmm...I wonder who will reach level 5 first 🤔

@TesLatino Thanks to a great Autopilot/AI team working super hard!

Doing “neural nets” without testing them against reality has led some groups to overestimate what they’re doing. Reality is the hardest sim.

@Stphn_Lacey @TheEnergyGang I'd be very interested in the gang's take on the advancements shared at Tesla's battery day and the future of lithium-ion battery supply chain and manufacturing as EV production scales

I’m moving $1B of my Square equity (~28% of my wealth) to #startsmall LLC to fund global COVID-19 relief. After we disarm this pandemic, the focus will shift to girl’s health and education, and UBI. It will operate transparently, all flows tracked here: https://t.co/hVkUczDQmz

@TheEnergyGang @Stphn_Lacey @GavinBade @GavinBade The Beneficial Electrification League, a relatively new nonprofit with initial supporters @NRDC and @NRECA, has pushed forward state-level conversations on beneficial electrification more broadly than the coasts. https://t.co/8zhVuj8JdP

"For the first time on record, the 400 wealthiest Americans last year paid a lower total tax rate — spanning federal, state and local taxes — than any other income group"

[David Leonhardt @DLeonhardt]

Watch how radically taxes on the wealthy have fallen over the past 70 years:

In a new survey by Ford...

"42% of Americans said they believe electric cars still run on gasoline."

Just a reminder this is what we're dealing with folks. Consumer messaging is 🗝 to #beneficialelectrification

Turns out annual power usage for an EV is about the same as that of a water heater -- and in both cases, their usage can be steered into low-emission hours on the grid. @RegAssistProj https://t.co/lL1q0jDI4M

Mr President - Greenland is not for sale. But Denmark has a much better deal for you! Watch this. #dkgreen #dkpol

There was worldwide outcry when the Notre Dame cathedral was on fire. Why is there not the same level of outrage for the fires destroying the #AmazonRainforest?

@Qdoba in Madison, WI now has impossible meat. I've been more of a @ChipotleTweets fan in recent years but I'm definitely giving this a try.

Unreal. The F150 all-electric prototype towed over 1.25 million pounds. 10 rail cars containing 42 trucks.

Electric pickup truck hype is too real...

[Justin Margolies @Justin_Marg]

If the F150 can tow 1500 lbs will we need to call a truck that can tow 300,000 lbs the F30000?
