On this day, July 6: Elon Musk faces major legal update in Twitter/X saga.

A judge rejected his bid to overturn the jury verdict on investor claims from the acquisition period. Another chapter in the high-stakes fight over free speech, deals, and accountability.

Model Y long wheelbase now available to order in the US

[The Elon Archive @TheElonArchive]

Here’s a few extra details on the 3rd Row in the Model Y L.

-The third row has safety latches for car seats. The 7 seat premium option does not because it’s not spacious enough to fit car seats.

-The third row interior space offers more leg room than the Model X.

-The Wheels are staggered to improve ride comfort in the third row.

-Air bags have been added.

-Rear Doors are larger and 3rd row offers quite a bit more headspace to accommodate most adults.

8 years ago today Tesla officially exits “Production Hell”!

After months of intense challenges ramping up the Model 3 (tents in the parking lot, round-the-clock shifts, and Elon sleeping on the factory floor) the team hit the critical 5,000 vehicles per week target.

Elon Musk: “We did it.”

This moment turned Tesla from near-crisis into the EV powerhouse we know today. A true testament to relentless execution.

23 years ago, we set out to prove that electric cars could be great – not just great electric cars, but the best cars overall.

We’ve gone from one electric sports car to 
– Over 9 million vehicles on the road

– Model Y becoming the world’s best-selling car of any kind only 3 years after first deliveries  

– 5 Gigafactories & other manufacturing sites across 3 continents

– The largest & most reliable fast charging network w/ over 80,000 Superchargers globally 

– Energy generation & storage systems helping power homes & grids (over 1 million Powerwalls installed, 70+ GWh of industrial energy storage operating globally across 2,200+ projects)

Today, we’re bringing AI into the real world with autonomy @Tesla_AI and robotics @Tesla_Optimus. 

Tesla is only getting started – a world of amazing abundance awaits
