@SawyerMerritt @Tesla I used to giggle to myself watching videos of people getting launched by Model S in ludicrous mode for the first time — now I do the same with FSD first-timers.

Such a magical experience 🪄

In the last 4 months, FSD Supervised has been over 5.2x safer than manual driving – across 65 million kilometers in 5 EU countries

@wholemars Yeah, AI driving coast-to-coast without interventions was supposed to be a big deal. Kinda like the Turing Test for self-driving, but went breezing by.

Tesla's Ashok Elluswamy on Robotaxi: "We have driven more than 380,000 miles of Unsupervised robotaxi. We have had zero notable incidents."

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

NEWS: Giga Berlin keeps expanding!
Just recently we announced:
- increase of vehicle production from 5000 to 6200/week starting from July, creating 1000 new jobs
- substantial investments into our cell factory to enable 18 GWh of 4680 manufacturing capacity starting from 2027, creating 1500 new jobs.

TODAY we informed our team that we will further increase production to 7500/week starting to ramp from October, HIRING another 1000 employees!

Apply now and build the future together with us, creating a world of amazing abundance.

“The problem is with arrogance of those billionaires who believe they are better than us, that they are entitled to rule, that somehow they are better allocators of capital than the American people.”

Ummm… I’m pretty sure by definition billionaires are better allocators of capital than the American people.

I would like to see you make a voluntary contribution of 5% of your family’s $200M net worth to the government for important healthcare, childcare, and jobs. Don’t worry, it’s just one-time. Your $10M contribution will provide free childcare for over 1,000 California kids for a year! Once you’ve made your personal contribution to a more just and equitable society, I’ll support all your other asset seizure ideas. But you gotta go first…

Ten years ago, I walked into Tesla as an intern — January 2015, back when all we built was the Model S.

I never imagined I'd one day lead the Fremont factory where we are building some of the most amazing cars the world has ever seen.

Today we sunset the S/X program, and it's bittersweet. The first ever car I bought was a Model S. It showed me a whole new world, and a reason to believe in futuristic technology.

The end of one thing makes room for new beginning of the other. We're letting go of something we loved a lot so we can build something even greater. Big things are already on their way to Fremont factory— a future of amazing abundance.

Thank you, @elonmusk, for the vision. To everyone who built this with me: thank you. Onto the next chapter. 🚀

14 years of history for Model S, 11 years for Model X

Imagine a car that gets safer after you buy it... wouldn't that be amazing? Oh wait, that's every Tesla.

All things otherwise equal, pick a school in the region where you want to practice and live.

The best value from law school, beyond it helping you land your first job, are the relationships and network.

I built a ton of connections in NYC while going to law school there (Columbia) but ended up coming back to LA to practice and live, where those connections had limited value.

Meanwhile, my new colleagues in LA who went to regional schools like UCLA and USC had huge local networks that were much easier to take advantage of.
