All personnel are accounted for and safe. It’s too early to know the root cause but we’re already working to find it. Very rough day, but we’ll rebuild whatever needs rebuilding and get back to flying. It’s worth it.
Model S & X changed automotive history forever by proving that an EV could be the best car possible – of any kind.
By inspiring other automakers to believe in EVs, they pushed the industry from 50k cars total in 2011 to 21 million sold per year.
Many automotive firsts:
Model S – first EV to achieve a 400-mile range, first production car to do 0-60 in <2 seconds & first production sedan to run a 9.23 second quarter mile.
It was also the first vehicle with a roof so strong that it broke NHTSA's testing machine.
Model X – quickest production SUV & the first to not roll over in regulatory tests.
Model S & X also initiated real-world AI!
We never stopped refining either vehicle. Both have 40% fewer parts today & share only 3% of parts with their original version. 60 years of evolution (by conventional car development standards) squeezed into 14 years!
750,000 Model S & X built.
Your support – from our earliest days to now – made Tesla into what it is today.
Thank you to each of our owners ❤️

I personally congratulated President of Portugal António José Seguro on his election victory and wished him success.
Portugal has been our strong supporter since the very beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion. I appreciate the assurance that defense, financial, humanitarian, and political assistance will continue. We are also grateful for Portugal’s participation in the PURL initiative and count on additional contributions.
We discussed the possibility of joint arms manufacturing, the participation of Portuguese businesses in the recovery of Ukraine, and our path toward EU membership. Thank you for the clear position on our European future!
The Sagrada Família reaches its highest point following the placement of the upper arm of the cross of the tower of Jesus Christ. As is a tradition in construction, the Catalan flag is hoisted, indicating that the tower structure is complete and that there were no incidents, as well as the Vatican flag, as it is the Catholic Church’s tallest Temple.

View of Starship landing burn and splashdown on Flight 10, made possible by SpaceX’s recovery team. Starship made it through reentry with intentionally missing tiles, completed maneuvers to intentionally stress its flaps, had visible damage to its aft skirt and flaps, and still executed a flip and landing burn that placed it approximately 3 meters from its targeted splashdown point
