SpaceX's Starship rocket just performed a flip maneuver and precisely splashed down on target in the Indian Ocean next to a few buoys with @Starlink on them. The softest splashdown we've seen yet.

SpaceX employees ended the stream chanting "USA! USA! USA!"🇺🇸

Next month, every line of code touching the 𝕏 system will be open source and third-party audited.

Only total transparency deserves trust.

@FinTesla @philipengberg @Tesla_AI @teslaeurope Ok 👍

[Mike @micmicww]

@FinTesla @philipengberg @Tesla_AI @teslaeurope has anybody received the update here 🇫🇮 already? 🧐

[FinTesla @FinTesla]

Cool updates! if we just get FSD and Grok to Finland..

With Tesla's Q2 earnings call this week, I'm sadly going in with much different expectations. I really don't know how much we can believe of what Tesla and Elon say

I'm only sharing this with the hope that Elon and Tesla will recalibrate and learn to underpromise and overperform rather than the opposite which creates new, unnecessary attack vectors and disillusionment of many Tesla fans and investors. If these goals are so uncertain, please just don't share them. Say whatever you want internally, but to say them publicly and not even get close does nothing but hurt the company and many following it

In just a few of the most recent calls Elon said the following:

Q2 '25: "I believe half of the population of the US will be covered by Tesla's Robotaxi by the end of the year."

Reality: not even close

Q3 '25: "We do expect to be operating robotaxi in, I think, about eight to ten metro areas by the end of the year."

Reality: 1

Q3 '25: "We expect to be operating in Nevada, Florida, and Arizona by the end of the year."

Reality: none

Q4 '25: "In terms of taxi vehicles carrying paid customers, I think we're well over 500 at this point between the Bay Area and Austin. This will probably double every month type of thing."

Reality: number largely stayed flat and Unsupervised is much smaller

I love Tesla and have been a superfan for well over a decade. I'm not here for short term $TSLA performance. But this is far more than just a one-off mistake or single moment of hubris. This is clearly a trend and as someone who holds Tesla to a higher standard, I'd love to see them do better with setting expectations. And further, if you do miss a timeline that was very public, communicating the reasons transparently would go a very long way to maintaining credibility going forward

@SawyerMerritt Cool and expected 👏

[Mike @micmicww]

@JoeTegtmeyer It will just take time... 🙂

@Tslachan Great, but why not cybercabs? 🤔

[Mike @micmicww]

@jquave @ReyaneRemache @gamejawnsinc @hrkrshnn Totally agree 💯

@EstherRebers @Tesla @teslaeurope Congrats to Estonia! We we missing it when visiting the city travelling from Finland to Latvia. One small correction: Tartu is located in southeastern part of Estonia 🙂

Tesla FSD I SVERIGE 🇸🇪

Alla svenskar, nu har vi chansen att notifiera hela tidö i samma rum då de har förhandlingar idag, Söndag.

Like’a, Återpublicera och följ så vi kan visa Sveriges ledare att vi vill ha

Tesla FSD Supervised godkänt NU!!

Det enda som krävs är ett papper med godkännande som skickas till RDW i Nederländerna, detta är alltså allay som krävs för att våra svenska ministrar ska börja rädda liv i trafiken.

Ford is done.
GM is done.
Honda is done.
Toyota is dying.

Now FOUR of my employees have bought Tesla Model Y vehicles. They let me drive one. I was blown away... again. Full-Self Driving (FSD) is highly evolved. Human-like in its decisions. Feels safer than any human driver.

I told my staff to install a couple of charging stations at my company parking lot. We're going to offer free charging to any employee that drives an EV. (F*ck gas prices and war in the Persian Gulf!)

The future of personal transport vehicles on this planet belongs to Tesla, BYD, CATL and maybe a couple of other companies. And all of them will be EVs.

At this point, driving a combustion engine vehicle for daily tasks seems obsolete.

And I don't believe a single thing about climate alarmism and all those cultists who hate carbon dioxide. EVs make sense simply from an economics perspective: They're a fraction of the cost to operate, and much simpler to maintain (no oil changes, no engine air filter, no fuel filter, etc.). Plus, you can charge them from sunlight and get entirely off-grid with your "fuel" supply. (I'll be publishing videos showing this in my studio soon.)

Yes, I used to mock EVs. I once said I would never ride in a self-driving vehicle. I was wrong. The technology has been transformed. Battery chemistry improvements have enabled solid range capabilities and very good specifications on charge/discharge cycles. Tesla's FSD capabilities are far stronger than I thought was possible. They've outdone themselves.

Now, I'm absolutely convinced: I will never buy another combustion engine vehicle again.

Yesterday I drove my Tesla around DC almost entirely on manual control. Not because anything was wrong with FSD, but because the car’s navigation was wholly inadequate to the task of dealing with DC’s road closures. Yet, Waze worked flawlessly and in realtime to avoid every single one.

We’ve all talked about the myriad of issues related to Tesla’s navigation, but when it gets to the point where you have to turn OFF full self driving to get around (even in a one-off event like July 4), a real and major overhaul of that system is needed.

Please @elonmusk give us a hint that such a change may be coming. Please. 🙏
