@kevinarea @GailAlfarATX It took some adjusting for me, but now that I activate FSD on pretty much every drive, I think it drives better than I do most of the time.

@Steve66810226 @GailAlfarATX It depends on road conditions and location. Also, have you toggled the setting to allow the car to keep up with traffic? It will exceed the limit to keep up with traffic flow with that setting enabled.

Since I get asked about this and I work both sides of the wall (for different publications), I wrote an explainer on the marketing/editorial firewall. https://t.co/6sVjphKwCz

@teslaownersSV @NASA Just want to say thanks to those in government who fight hard for the right thing to happen, despite extreme pressure to do otherwise.

Therein lies the core goodness of the American state.

@PappalardoJoe @elonmusk @Erdayastronaut Nice! Amazing how fast they're moving.

Grid fins for steering Starship for reentry weigh 3 tons each and will be driven by Tesla Model 3 motors; from an amazing interview with @elonmusk by @Erdayastronaut https://t.co/z9aPxUBeoI

Production advice from @Erdayastronaut interview with @elonmusk distilled to a single slide; I should tell my content writing clients to just stick this up on their presentations and have done with it.

@elonmusk @Erdayastronaut @SpaceX One of my take-always:

[Michael Belfiore @MichaelBelfiore]

@virgingalactic's #Unity22 flight with @richardbranson on board was the culmination of nearly 17 years of hard, heartbreaking work launched by the @xprize-winning flight of SpaceShipOne. https://t.co/Qh1v2yJZ8a

[Michael Belfiore @MichaelBelfiore]

The newly proposed ARPA-H, a @DARPA-inspired agency has the potential to advance medical science by decades in mere years -- if it sticks to a clear, laser-focused mission. https://t.co/NSPRMTg2IA

[Michael Belfiore @MichaelBelfiore]

@elonmusk says may increase the $100M #xprizecarbonremoval prize over time

[Michael Belfiore @MichaelBelfiore]

#xprizecarbonremoval will award $100M for a system that can remove 1k tones of CO2 from the oceans or atmosphere in a year
