10 of these will start patrolling on the Las Vegas strip (and elsewhere) soon.
Sheriff: “We want these things because the cops inside will be safe no matter what. These stop bullets. They are also a tremendous recruitment tool for us.”
All 10 Cybertrucks were donated by billionaire Ben Horowitz—no taxpayer money was used.
@SawyerMerritt Named my Cybertruck "Thor Daddy" 😉😎 normally I've named my vehicles female names in the past, but just made sense after a week or so. It will come to you Sawyer.
Optimus will totally be like having your own personal C-3PO. Hope it can translate the thousands of languages and dialects along with everything else 🤔😉.
Our new hand/forearm with double the number of degrees of freedom now in action on the bot! There’s 22 DoFs on the hand, and 3 on the wrist/forearm.
This little video was made last night in the lab (teleoperated) and is real-time. Gives us confidence that we’ll very soon be making all new bots with those on.
Still some work to finish by end of year, in particular around extended tactile sensing integration (much more surface coverage than the previous hand), very fine controls through tendons, and shaving some weight off the forearm. All actuation has been moved to the forearm, which has increased its weight.
Interesting challenge around having enough squishiness/compliance and a protective layer on the fingers & palm, without affecting tactile sensing too much.
Congrats to all the hardware and firmware teams for this milestone, and happy thanksgiving to everyone!
@SawyerMerritt Loving my Cybertruck. It's my first Tesla and definitely won't be my last.

Thank you for that fantastic speech! It really hit home for so many of us that have been absolutely bullied over the years. Family friends and even strangers need to live in peace and love with each other and not bully anyone for their political or religious beliefs. Keep doing the great work you do @DrPhil
The @PolarisProgram astronaut mission is headed for an altitude 3 times higher than the Space Station, the furthest that humans have been from Earth in over half a century!
