Today is my last day at @tesla_na it’s been a wild ride for the last 5 years. Countless customers helped and collaborating across various teams from inbound, chat, delivery, sales and self-serve demo drives. The people is what made me stay here and what a wonderful experience it’s been.

I’ve decided it’s time for me to pass the baton and take a break from the fast paced work here. Highly recommend it for anyone considering to contribute to the mission. Unforgettable experience and people. And the mission is still only in the beginnings. All the best to the Tesla teams, I’ll be cheering on from outside. Thank you!

@bvtchbait math and solving proofs are so satisfying to complete.

Calculus 1 opened the gates for me. Then brought me to a mechanical engineering bachelors. Fun stuff!

“We’ve done the analysis, reusable rockets aren’t economic.”

SpaceX makes reusable rockets economic.

“We’ve done the analysis satellite internet isn’t economic. The antenna alone is tens of thousands of dollars. The cost to manage a constellation that size, the radiation, the space hardened solar cost…”

Satellite internet appears to be a very good business with antennas in the $100 range.

“We’ve done the analysis, orbital data centers aren’t economic. The radiators, launch costs, the radiation, the solar…”

You are here.

Kid, you'll move mountains!

I thought Tesla Full Self-Driving would make my commute easier.

I did not expect it to expose me as the problem.
Turns out I was not “driving defensively.”

I was conducting a one-man municipal audit of every idiot within 300 yards.

Someone going 40 in a 25?
I had notes.

Someone taking too long at a green light?
I had a full theory of civilizational decline.

Now the car drives and I just sit there like a reformed man.

No high blood pressure.
No death grip on the wheel.
No courtroom monologue about lane discipline.

My wife noticed immediately.

She said, “You’re way more chill in the car, I like this!”

That is when I realized Tesla didn’t just make the car drive itself.

It made me stop narrating the collapse of society from the driver’s seat.

@KettlebellDan Poke around and make a giant list of questions on things I am curious about to understand processes and how things work. Then, reach out to people to find answers.

@simongerman600 I’m excited to see a future with less parking lots - thanks to affordable robotaxis

@Robotbeat We might be on long journeys. Might as well make it aesthetically pleasing to be in
