The Gainesville, VA Tesla Supercharger is FINALLY open! This bad boy was announced in 2022 and apparently opened very quietly in the last few days! It’s an 8-stall V4 Wawa Supercharger (325 kW) at 14461 Lee Hwy, Gainesville, VA.
It’s also the first branded SC I’ve seen in the wild! Thanks for your efforts @TeslaCharging! I don’t use these often, but this one is close to my house. 🙏
The U.S. Navy just hit its recruiting goal of 45,000 Sailors – 3 months ahead of schedule. Even more impressive: they raised their goal by 10% and still exceeded expectations.
This is what happens when strong leadership under President Trump, high standards, a return to perfecting the basics, and a mission that matters come together. Americans are stepping up to serve because they believe in our country, our Navy, and our warfighters.
Congratulations @USNavy and every recruiter, leader, and future Sailor who made this possible!
🚨 NOW: President Trump’s motorcade is racing through DC en route to the White House with the Washington Monument COMPLETELY lit up with “250” projected on the side
This is going to be an EPIC week. Over **850,000** FIREWORKS are set to go off in just 3 days. A typical July 4th fireworks show in DC consists of just 20,000.
YUGE.
Peter Thiel just named the rule that decided if Elon Musk stayed or left. It has nothing to do with left or right.
Thiel: "I've known Elon since 2000. He was never doctrinaire, but for the first 20 years, he was left of center."
Tesla. Clean energy. Electric cars. About as left of center as it gets.
Then the terms changed.
Thiel: "This intellectual straitjacket where you're not allowed to have ideas. Even if you agree with 80%, it's never enough. You have to be 100%."
No idea on Earth requires 100% agreement. Only power does.
Thiel: "There's just no individuality left whatsoever."
Thiel: "The Democratic Party, it's like the Empire. They're all Imperial stormtroopers. We're the ragtag Rebel Alliance."
Not just him. Every institution that used to reward the odd ones now filters them out before they rise.
He didn't change. The room did.
Thiel: "It certainly seemed incredibly dangerous to me what he did, incredibly courageous."
Thiel: "Elon gave people a great deal of cover."
Not because he won the argument. Because he went first.
The straitjacket only holds you if you believe you need permission.
Everyone still wearing one is calling it a coat.
Bill Maher: "People wonder why so many young men vote for Trump. Well, maybe because he's one guy who doesn't make you feel guilty just for being born with a dick."
Whatever happened to Tesla’s Optimus V3 demo? My theory.
Elon said that they stopped doing a lot of demos because the competition would simply copy what Tesla was doing after each showing.
My theory is that Tesla engineers realized that they were further ahead on production than they forecasted. In @herbertong’s interview of Lars, Lars said that production of Optimus is ahead of schedule.
I predict that whenever Tesla presents the V3 demo, it is going to have impressive capabilities, the actuators will stand the test of time, AND they will announce that production has already began on a meaningful level.
The competition will not have time to react.
Don’t be surprised if the demo showcases many Optimi on stage. Many.
