A second FAA flight restriction just dropped for Starbase: surface to 5,000 ft within 1.5 nm of SpaceX's Massey's test site off Hwy 4, Fri Oct 23 12 AM through Thu Nov 5 11 PM CT. Also filed as high-energy testing, so ship or booster test work there looks likely 🚀

New wrinkle in Tesla + SpaceX. 🛰️ Reuters sources say SpaceX reached out first; options include SpaceX buying Tesla or a new parent firm. Some insiders fear Musk's public praise could add weeks.

San Antonio landed on Tesla's Robotaxi "coming soon" list. 🚕 So did Vegas, Phoenix and Jacksonville. Tesla's new safety page tallies 3.1M driverless miles with zero injuries reported. Valley next?

New FAA flight restriction over Starbase: up to 10,000 ft within 2.5 nm of the pad, Fri Oct 23 12 AM through Thu Nov 5 11 PM CT. It's filed as high-energy testing, so a Booster 22 static fire looks likely. Keep an eye out for Hwy 4 closures 🚀
