This little app by @simonahac compares the cost per km of the top 10 selling ICE vehicles with the top 10 selling EVs, using current petrol prices and the average charging rate over the past 24 hours.

It's both fascinating and compelling.

🔴 BREAKING: A cancer immunotherapy just put autoimmune disease into complete remission.
No drugs.
No symptoms.
Immune system: reset.
Lupus 15/15 Remission.

Now scientists are asking: Could this work for Type 1 diabetes?

AI job losses are inevitable, just like with the industrial revolution. However, we're about to see a CAMBRIAN explosion of jobs we can't even imagine could exist.

NEWS: A new $110 million @Tesla Megapack battery energy storage system is now operational five months ahead of schedule, in Queensland, Australia.

The 205MW/410MWh system will play a key role in delivering affordable, reliable power to households and businesses.

"The BESS’s Grid-Forming capability, using the Tesla Megapack 2 battery energy storage units, also helps to increase the robustness of the network voltage of the nearby major Queensland transmission infrastructure." - Akaysha Energy

Power bills in Australia are rising in 2026 mainly due to the end of government rebates and ongoing reliance on expensive fossil fuels like coal and gas, per AEMC and Climate Council reports. Renewables are driving wholesale prices down (projected 5% drop by 2030), so the issue is not enough renewables, not too many, as they reduce costs when scaled up with storage and grid upgrades.

🚨TESLA FSD: THE TWELVE PERCENT PROBLEM ABOUT TO BECOME THE TIPPING POINT

Tesla's Full Self-Driving faces a fascinating inflection: only twelve percent of owners currently pay for it, yet analysts predict explosive adoption.

The disconnect between capability and subscription reveals humanity's deepest fear: surrendering control to silicon.

But physics favors the inevitable.

Every mile driven feeds the neural network, every update improves performance, every trial converts skeptics.

Tesla analyst Stephen Gengaro nailed the psychology:

"When people experience it, they will be much more comfortable."

Fear dissolves through exposure.

The first autonomous drive terrifies.

The tenth feels natural.

The hundredth becomes indispensable.

Tesla's strategy of offering periodic free trials isn't marketing; it's behavioral conditioning for technological evolution.

The mathematics are compelling.

Ten million subscriptions required for Elon's compensation tranche means eighty-three percent adoption growth needed.

Impossible? Consider smartphones went from luxury to necessity in five years.

FSD offers something more profound: time.

Every commute becomes productive.

Every drive becomes restful.

Once humans taste that freedom, regression becomes unthinkable.

Solar electricity will become by far the biggest source of power for civilization

[David Senra @FoundersPodcast]

New episode: "How Elon Works"

This episode covers the insanely valuable company-building principles of Elon Musk

A few notes from the episode:

1. The mission comes first.

2. Retreat is not an option.

3. A maniacal sense of urgency is our operating principle.

4. Product design should be driven by engineers.

5. You should not separate engineering from product design.

6. Having separate design and production departments is bullshit. Keep everything together and feedback immediate.

7. The leader should be on the front lines. You should be a battlefield general.

8. "If they see the general out on the battlefield, the troops are going to be motivated. Wherever Napoleon was, that's where his armies would do best."

9. Apply The Algorithm constantly. (1) Question every requirement. (2) Delete any part of the process you can. (3) Simplify and optimize. (4) Accelerate cycle time. (5) Automate.

10. Repetition is persuasive. "I became a broken record on the algorithm. I think it's helpful to say it to an annoying degree."

11. You should go ultra-hardcore on deletion and simplification.

12. Camaraderie is dangerous. It makes it hard for people to challenge each other’s work. (Refer to point #1)

13. Never ask your troops to do something you wouldn’t do.

14. Hire for attitude. Skills can be taught. Attitude changes require a brain transplant.

15. Good attitude = A desire to work maniacally hard.

16. The only rules are the ones dictated by the laws of physics. Everything else is a recommendation.

17. Keep your entire company committed to a common goal.

18. If things aren’t going well, throw away the existing design, start from first principles, question every requirement based on fundamental physics.

19. Find the limit. You want to delete as much as possible and you can’t do that unless you find the limit.

20. If you aren’t adding back at least 10% of the things you deleted, then you didn’t delete enough.

21. Maintain control. Avoid joint ventures. Eliminate middlemen.

22. Have a relentless dedication to questioning every requirement.

23. No work about work, just work.

24. Go to the problem. Get on the plane. Fly to the source. Go to the exact location in the factory. Go to the problem and stay there until it's resolved.

25. The best part is no part.

26. Be wired for war.

27. Do not fear losing. It hurts the first 50 times but then you’ll be able to play with less emotion. You will take more risks.

28. Stay heads down focused on doing useful things for civilization.

29. When something is important and has to be done quickly, have meetings every 24 hours to run the algorithm and check on the previous days progress. You'll be shocked at how fast this speeds things up.

30. Life needs to be interesting and edgy.

31. Delete, delete, delete, delete.

There are 100 more ideas in the episode. I hope you listen to it. 30 years of Elon’s career + 60 hours of reading and research and me just absolutely ripping through idea after idea at 2x speed for 90 minutes.

It will be hard to find a better use of time.

@harald_murphy @Tesla @TeslaAUNZ I remember it from 2018! Glad it still works.

@JosefTadich Thanks and congratulations @elonmusk @JosefTadich @Tesla a very exciting day well worth the wait.

True. Simple math.

Even a patch of Spain could power all of Europe with solar.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

🇦🇺 🥇

[Dwarkesh Patel @dwarkesh_sp]

"It's still extremely early. We’re still in the Apple II computer era of solar.

Conventional wisdom is that solar demand is going to saturate this week. We've got a graph here somewhere that's like, 'This year is it, it's never going to grow anymore.' Instead, it's just blasting out the top of the graph.

This conventional wisdom is wrong. Not only are solar adoption, production, and price decreases continuing, they're accelerating. And the rate at which they're accelerating is still accelerating."

Self-driving truck on the highway in China. No driver, no cab.

[Sawyer Merritt @SawyerMerritt]

Two @Tesla Semi drivers after their experience with the truck:

• Tom Sterbra (37 years of experience): "I do not want to go back to a gas truck. I'd like to retire in this vehicle. I just love driving it. I can have anywhere between 10-15 stop in a day. The navigation systems in these truck are just unbelievable. The clarity of the cameras are unbelievable."
• Michael Davis (40 years of experience): "They asked, 'Hey, who wants to drive this Semi?' I was a senior driver, and I said, 'Yeah, I will drive it, I want to drive it. I want to drive something new. It did not disappoint. It has a better turning radius than our two axles."

These Tesla Semis are operated by @Saia_Inc.
