We believe a sustainable energy economy can be achieved with the following changes—led by both Tesla & other companies
- Replacing the existing fleet of combustion vehicles on the road with EVs
- Using heat pumps in homes/businesses & industry
- Implementing high-temp heat delivery & storage for industrial processes
- Transitioning to electric planes & boats
- Powering everything with renewable generation & stationary storage
A few hours ago, @zipline passed 500k autonomous flights delivering crucial products to our customers. The team has flown about 36 million paid autonomous miles, 10-100x the scale of most of the big autonomous car companies. That’s 75x round trips to the moon! 🚀🌓
Our pre-production prototype aircraft flew more than 10,800 miles last year, demonstrating the maturity of our technology and generating valuable flight test data for our certification program.
Here's an animation showing many of the flight paths we flew in 2022.
