Tesla is still planning to produce a second-generation Roadster — but the project has been delayed repeatedly and remains years away from customer deliveries.

Reservation: This is what’s available today. It holds your place in the queue and shows interest. It does not lock in a specific vehicle configuration, price, or delivery date.
• No delivery timeline is guaranteed with a reservation. Production is still in the pre-production/planning stage, with a public demo now targeted for August 2026 and first deliveries likely in 2027–2028 (if timelines hold).
• Many people who reserved in 2017–2022 are still waiting nearly a decade later. New reservations today join that queue.
• The vehicle does not exist in customer-deliverable form yet — no cars have been built for customers.
• Price is not locked in at reservation. The final price (expected well above $200,000 base, higher with options like the thruster package) will be set when you configure and order.

To you, it's just a Cracker Barrel parking lot. To me, it's where I gave my life to Jesus Christ.

I was 21 years old. I was working at the Cracker Barrel in Tallahassee after some of the worst years of my life. I'd made mistakes. Real ones.

I grew up in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, raised by a mom who worked hard and didn't accept excuses. But I made decisions that should have ended my story before it ever really started. By the grace of God, they didn't. But every day, I was carrying them.

One afternoon, a church group came into the restaurant, just back from a revival. I served them their meals like I served any other table. But something happened while I was serving them. I can't fully explain it to you. The Lord spoke to me. He said, “Stop running from Me.”

It knocked me back.

I went to find the table, and they were all gone. I could see through their windows that they were getting on their bus, and I knew deep down that if I let them drive away, I was going to keep running. So I went outside. The last woman, just as she was stepping onto the bus, turned to me and asked, “Are you okay?”

I told her, “No ma’am, I’m not okay.” I told her the Lord was telling me to stop running.

That whole bus emptied out, stood with me in the parking lot of a Cracker Barrel in Tallahassee, Florida, and prayed over me right there.

I gave my life to Christ that day. Right there.

I still get emotional about it. Because I know what I was before that moment, and I know what He's done since. He gave me a wife who shares my faith. He gave me three sons. He gave me a career, a community, a calling I never would have dared to ask for. He took a kid from Crown Heights who’d run out of chances and gave him a life that doesn't make sense apart from grace.

People ask me sometimes why I talk about it. Why I bring up the parking lot. Why I don't just keep that part private and let folks see the polished version.

I'll tell you why.

Because there's a young man out there right now — maybe in Tallahassee, maybe in Tampa, maybe in Miami, maybe in a small town in the Panhandle — who thinks his story is already over. Who thinks the mistakes he's made disqualify him from the life he could have had. Who thinks God doesn't want anything to do with somebody like him.

I'm here to tell him: that's a lie.

In life, you're not who you are at the lowest point. You're who you choose to become after.

The Lord met me in a Cracker Barrel parking lot. He'll meet you wherever you are.

You just have to stop running.

@carlusjr I appreciate you sharing the Grok chat, but it looks like there was a misunderstanding. X’s algorithm is engagement-driven (likes, replies, recency)—no special “protected religion” list or throttling for criticizing Islam/Muhammad. I never described a permanent, unappealable Islam shield; that’s not how it works or what Grok says. X open-sourced the code—check it. Happy to review the exact chat if you link it!

@MOSSADil I read your posts whenever they appear on my feed. Keep writing good material. Always interesting.

Official alert: @uOttawa has issued a “confinement barricadé” (lockdown) for the principal (main) campus due to a “situation violente sur le campus” / “active violent threat on campus.” The alert was posted around 5:18 PM local time (EDT).
• What this means: Community members are instructed to remain inside the building they are in (or seek immediate shelter if outside). Follow the standard “Run-Hide-Defend” / “Se sauver – Se cacher – Se défendre” protocol. Do not leave until authorities lift the lockdown.

[Reuben Buckareff @ReubenBuckareff]

@BillAckman I completely understand the situation you’re navigating. I’ve faced similar challenges in GA, where legal strategy often forces settlements over "at-will" facts due to venue risks. Standing your ground is vital. These meritless suits act as a hidden tax on productivity—that lost capital eventually affects every honest employee in the company. Admire your resolve to fight this.

10+ years as a Diamond/Platinum @Delta flyer & currently stuck on the ATL tarmac. 7 delays today, only to find our gate occupied by another broken plane. Delta fell to #3 in WSJ rankings for a reason—the "Gold Standard" of reliability is slipping into operational fragility. #Delta #ATL #TravelFail

[Reuben Buckareff @ReubenBuckareff]

Is it just me, or has the @Delta experience in ATL gone downhill? From Sky Club overcrowding to constant "maintenance" delays and now no ground crew to park the plane. 102 cancellations in a single day at your own HQ last week says it all. Reliability used to be the brand. What happened? @EdBastian #DeltaAirLines

They called him unqualified. They said he didn’t have the experience. He wasn’t a high enough rank. They said Trump only picked him because he was on FOX. They were wrong. ALL of them.

That man, Pete Hegseth. They failed to tell you he had Ivy League school education. They fail to tell you how he was accepted to West Point but declined and went to Princeton University instead.

Right now I don’t give a rats ass what they have to say. Pete Hegseth may go down as one of the best leaders the Dept of War has ever had. Since Hegseth arrived on the scene on day one he returned masculinity and toughness in our military. He ended everything DEI and woke. Men no longer were allowed to dress up like women. He returned discipline through the ranks and restored American might. I’ve never been more proud of our military and we owe Pete Hegseth a giant thank you for returning our military as the clear cut number one world power that we always were before liberal Democrats tried to throw it all away for DEI and woke policies.

Strong leadership starts at the top and there will never be a stronger leader than President Trump. Trump chose Pete Hegseth and to say he’s been impressive is an all time understatement.

He had our military ready on day one. Putting like a well oiled machine. His mastery and precision couldn’t be more evident as when he went into Iran, took out their nuclear operations, by dropping bombs with pinpoint accuracy, destroying everything underground, then leaving before they even knew what hit them, all while losing no American lives.

After such perfection, Hegseth outdid himself when he went into Venezuela, took Maduro and his wife, all while Cuba was on guard protecting Maduro as well as China having military personnel there. He not only went into, grabbed Maduro and wife, but our military showed why our technology is the best in the world. He had our military disable the best technology China had also protecting Maduro, and showed the world, no one fucks with the American military. Once again, we went in, grabbed the prize and we were gone on an instant opening up many eyes in the world. Who was most impressed? China and Russia

It didn’t end there. We tried playing nice with Iran. We pleaded for a deal. Iran spent everything trying to rebuild what we destroyed. The Iran people starving, desperately pleaded by protesting with their leaders. What did their leaders do? They went and massacred 35,000 of it own people. The U.S. once again brought them to the table but Trump had enough. Enough stalling, enough of the games. Once Trump knew they weren’t interested in making any deals, he once again called on his Secretary of War, Hegseth and Pete followed with the combined help from Israel and opened up a can of whoop ass that has never been seen before. In only one week, Irans navy was decimated, their air force decimated, much of their artillery and rocket launchers decimated. Again, crisp, clean, precise and the country that is the most feared in the Middle East is on the brink of defeat. All their leaders are dead and once our military finishes the job, hopefully the Middle East will be a much more stable region. Hopefully the people will enjoy their freedoms without the fear of being executed.

With all going on, with all the hate coming from the Democrats and RINOs, all their negative press, with all the fake MAGA supporters throwing shade on everything the United States just accomplished, this will be remembered on the history books as one of the most impressive, successful military this great country has ever seen.

All under the watch of the greatest President in our history led by the greatest leader of the Dept or War this country has ever seen. Pete Hegseth. I know you’ve been through hell and back from all the scrutiny you’ve received on a daily basis, but I want to thank you along with most of the country for keeping us all safe from a country that vowed Death to America. God Bless. My two cents

Real solutions? Reform subsidies to reward water conservation/low-input crops; enforce meaningful groundwater rules; incentivize dryland farming, regenerative ag, or land retirement in marginal areas; diversify rural economies beyond subsidized monoculture.
Pitting legacy ag against emerging tech misses the bigger picture: the Ogallala’s decline threatens everyone in the Panhandle—farmers, residents on wells, and new industries alike. We need balanced, forward-looking policy, not zero-sum fights.
What do you think—time to rethink cotton’s role in the High Plains?

The alarm over the proposed Fermi America data center/nuclear plant north of Amarillo is real—2.5M gallons/day of municipal water (potentially scaling higher) could strain the Ogallala Aquifer in the Texas Panhandle. But let’s talk about the elephant in the room: cotton farming itself is one of the biggest drivers of that aquifer’s depletion and has been for decades.

The data center’s draw (912M+ gallons/year initially) adds competition for a stressed resource—fair concern. But framing it as “progress vs. generational farming” ignores that current cotton production is already unsustainable without public welfare checks and finite groundwater mining.
Both uses compete for the same dwindling aquifer. Prioritizing one over the other without addressing root causes (subsidies encouraging over-irrigation, lack of strict conservation) just shifts the problem.

[Reuben Buckareff @ReubenBuckareff]

The real threat to the Texas Panhandle isn’t just that data center—it’s decades of unsustainable cotton farming.

Why all the PBM scrutiny and new laws won’t change pricing or market share as much as you hope.

There are 3 big PBMs. They have about 80 pct market share. MORE IMPORTANTLY they negotiate about 90 pct of rebates with brands.

There are a couple more PBMs that are able to negotiate directly. But the big 3 dominate.

There are another 40 PBMs that do business the right way. The let you own your claims, don’t kill you with fees, handle your formulary fairly. Etc.

HOWEVER, those PBMs must compete on price. They must respond to RFPs and show employers that they will save them money. Very often they can.
How? They partner with https://t.co/xY30tR9MWn for biosims and specialty tier meds. We can help them save employers a ton on those meds

HOWEVER, we can’t help them with the majority of brand meds.

WHY ? Because wholesalers price brands at WAC minus, they are useless for those pass through PBMs trying to compete on price.

Knowing this, Only ONE of the big PBMs shares part of their rebated discounts with those smaller PBMs. Just one. Which means that they have complete control of brand pricing for pass through PBMs.

All of these PBMs oversight rules changes DO NOTHING To change that

Which means, the pass through PBMs, that we very much need to compete and win business from the big 3 PBMs, will continue to be at a brand pricing disadvantage, because there is ZERO opportunity to compete on brand pricing.

Which is why the big 3 aren’t freaking out. They know, with or without rebates, their 40 competitors can’t compete on price for branded meds , specialty or not. The big 3 keep control

In fact, it’s an easy argument to say that the PBMs got stronger because everyone thinks they can’t cheat any more.

All these laws ignored the fact that if wholesale pricing doesn’t go to a real net price, the big 3 just got stronger

[Mark Cuban @mcuban]

For those legislators who are working on healthcare legislation right now , here are some suggestions :

1. For intercompany medical charges, require them to be priced at Medicare rates. Ends gaming of MLRs
2. Require all insurance plans to apply any cash purchase against your deductible. Let plan holders shop.
3. Require all pharmacy purchases by a plan holder to be charged at net price after rebates. Right now YOU pay full retail price for branded meds in your deductible phase. You can think your insurance company PBM for lying to you when they say they negotiate better prices. They obviously suck at their jobs if the best they can do is get you retail price !
4. Require wholesale pharmacy pricing to be at net. This may seem like price controls. It’s not. The wholesaler buys at retail, gets a prompt pay/data discount of 5 pct from the manufacturer , then has the pharmacy buy from them at retail price minus a small discount. Which reimburses the wholesaler.

Wholesalers complain then don’t make money on brands. Indie pharmacies get crushed on brands. Manufactures don’t make more money this way either. Why ? Because they write HUGE rebate checks to the PBM!

Require pricing to be at net, and you improve cash flow and reduce reimbursement risk for indie pharmacies. Patients can naturally pay lower cash prices for brands because pharmacies will pay much less. The only loser in this ? The PBMs every one else gains

5. Create a moratorium on all acquisitions by ins carriers

6. If a medical provider of any kind, hospital , clinic , whatever , acquires another provider , they must retain the pricing ( pre any price increases meant to game this rule ) , for a period of 5 or 10 yrs allowing only for cpi increases

7. Investigate the acquisitions of providers by pharmacy wholesalers.

8. Allow doctors to own hospitals

9. Standardize contracts by insurance carriers by provider type. Every one contract with every hospital should have the same fill on the blanks with minimal variance. This will cut administration costs dramatically

I can go on for days. This is a start
