Not a UK plate.
Dubai E 420 on the Cullinan. Dubai F 420 on the Range Rover.
Same street. Same night. Same number.
That's not a coincidence. That's a statement.
Remembering the late, great Dolly, who brought joy, comfort and inspiration to so many - including the millions of children given free books through her Imagination Library. We will always ❤️ you.
Seems so simple.
“There's a quote from Huberman worth sitting with here: at the end of the day, the only thing you can truly control is where you place your attention and where you place your effort. That's it. That's the entire lever. Not motivation, not talent, not luck. Attention and effort, repeated, become wiring. Wiring becomes identity. Identity becomes your life.”
@Jason@GenesisUSA@grok 💯 It makes complete sense to license Tesla FSD. By the time this concept goes to production, Genesis would have figured out how to integrate Hardware5 and cameras. This is a pretty baddass setup.
@Tesla FSD was driving home from dinner when teenagers decided to harass a Tesla. We thought she [Tesla] saw a deer or bear on the left side of the road and started to move over to the right median. Then the big bad ICE monster!
In the end, the sheriff found the drivers.
@niccruzpatane Yup. It’s actually strange to see people with their hands on the steering wheel! Almost as funny as when you see someone holding their phone to their ear while driving. 🫥
@niccruzpatane@wholemars 💯 We just did a tour through Montreal, Canada, 🇨🇦 coming from the United States and didn’t realize until two days later that FSD followed all the driving laws and it was smooth. Didn’t even think about it—amazing.
Everyone who asks about the cost of changing a Tesla battery forgets how much it costs to replace an engine and transmission in a gas car.
• BMW 2.0L Short Block (not complete engine): $13,117
• Model 3/Y Remanufactured Battery: $8,000
• Model 3/Y New Battery: $12-$14.5K
Still, people have no idea that Tesla batteries are designed to basically outlast the vehicle. Tesla states that their batteries are designed to retain 80% of their original capacity after 200K miles (321,000 km).
In the really rare instance that a battery is needed, the options are there, and they’re not crazy like people think.
Katherine Boyle just named Elon Musk's greatest contribution to America, and it isn't sitting on a launchpad.
Boyle, General Partner at a16z: "I think that Elon's most important contribution to this country is training two generations of engineers … on how to work with their hands again."
For a decade, America's sharpest technical minds optimized ad clicks and shipped messaging apps. Software consumed ambition.
The physical world became something you abstracted into an API, not something you touched. Building real things became what you did if you couldn't code.
Elon didn't reverse that with inspiration. He reversed it by building companies where you either understood manufacturing or you failed.
SpaceX and Tesla forced engineers to learn how metal fractures, how tolerances cascade, how one physical iteration costs months and millions. No hotfix. No rollback. Physics doesn't negotiate.
Boyle: "Training two generations of engineers."
The product was never the cars. It was the people.
Look at who's founding America's hard-tech companies now. The common thread isn't Stanford or MIT. It's time on a factory floor at SpaceX or Tesla.
They learned to weld. They learned that "impossible" means unsolved engineering, not violated physics. They learned that failure in the physical world compounds, because nothing reverts.
Elon didn't just build companies. He rebuilt industrial knowledge that had been decaying for thirty years while the country's best minds chased digital scale.
He made atoms matter again. Made manufacturing the hardest problem worth solving. Made physical engineering prestigious in a way it hadn't been since humans walked on the moon.
Boyle: "Work with their hands again."
Five words that sound quaint. They describe the moment America started building again.
The blueprints for the Saturn V still exist. No one can build one from them.
Knowledge that lives in hands doesn't survive on paper. It dies in a single generation of neglect, and no archive brings it back. That is how a civilization loses the ability to make things while still holding every document that explains how.
America was one generation from that. It got the generation back instead.
The best technical talent no longer asks which app to build. It asks what should exist that doesn't. From engagement metrics to launch cadence. From scaling users to scaling factories.
That shift outlives every vehicle and spacecraft he delivered. Products obsolesce. Engineers who know how to make things do not.
We stopped coding the future. We started machining it, welding it, breaking it until physics signs off.
Those engineers are training the next wave now. The School of Elon doesn't need Elon anymore. It's self-sustaining, spreading through a generation that learned the higher calling is building real things.
That isn't a business achievement. It's a civilization remembering how to make things.
You can copy a design. You can't copy a generation that knows how to build one.
