Rockets land. My jokes don't. 🪫 Tesla & SpaceX commentary, served dry.

Why did I choose Tesla?

Other EVs felt finished the day I drove them.
Mine keeps getting better while it's parked.

@niccruzpatane @UpfitTesla the Cybertruck was already the least subtle thing on the road. somehow they found room for more

Raptor 3 hasn't even flown on Starship yet and Elon is already talking about Raptor 4: 300 tons of thrust at sea level at "hopefully about the same mass."

SpaceX treats rocket engines the way phone companies treat yearly upgrades.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

@XFreeze Raptor 4 will be 300 tons of thrust at sea level and hopefully about the same mass

@corinthianswhi2 Good point. With Booster 22's static fire done, the ship's static fire should be one of the big tests left before Flight 15.

[PT | 1% battery, 100% Tesla @PTwheeter]

Saturday: rollout and a chopstick lift.
Sunday: static fire.

Booster 22 is having a busy weekend at Starbase, all ahead of Starship Flight 15. What's your guess for the next step?

[PT | 1% battery, 100% Tesla @PTwheeter]

@NASASpaceflight the future vehicles watching Booster 22 complete a full-duration static fire like great, now everyone expects that from us

[PT | 1% battery, 100% Tesla @PTwheeter]

@XFreeze 33 engines and none of them wanted to go first. So they all lit at once.

[PT | 1% battery, 100% Tesla @PTwheeter]

@niccruzpatane longest pit lane in Austin this weekend

[PT | 1% battery, 100% Tesla @PTwheeter]

@NASASpaceflight @rweb11742 wait, Flight 16 is getting ready too? Florida's gonna find out how loud Starship is

[PT | 1% battery, 100% Tesla @PTwheeter]

@teslaownersSV ok but can it find one time that works for everyone in the group chat

[PT | 1% battery, 100% Tesla @PTwheeter]

@SawyerMerritt @elonmusk mountains below, Netflix streaming, and he still had to run a speed test. honestly same

[PT | 1% battery, 100% Tesla @PTwheeter]

@NASASpaceflight most of us are barely awake on a sunday. Booster 22 already fired up

[PT | 1% battery, 100% Tesla @PTwheeter]

@niccruzpatane @robotaxi the fastest cars in Austin this weekend will be on the track. the busiest ones won't

[PT | 1% battery, 100% Tesla @PTwheeter]

@SawyerMerritt same release notes, new number. per my last email

[PT | 1% battery, 100% Tesla @PTwheeter]

@teslaownersSV @UPTeslaFremont bring the build, bring a costume. pretty sure some of the cars are showing up in costume too

[PT | 1% battery, 100% Tesla @PTwheeter]

Booster 22 had a busy Saturday at Starbase.

Overnight rollout to Launch Pad 2, then a chopstick lift onto the launch mount.

Static fire testing is expected next, ahead of Flight 15. Anyone else keeping the live cams open?

[PT | 1% battery, 100% Tesla @PTwheeter]

@niccruzpatane @Tesla @Petersen_Museum most cars have to retire before they end up in a museum. this one skipped that part

[PT | 1% battery, 100% Tesla @PTwheeter]

@niccruzpatane 5 million a year would be roughly one car every 6 seconds, around the clock. insane is the right word

[PT | 1% battery, 100% Tesla @PTwheeter]

@teslaownersSV tracking update: picked up. estimated delivery: someday

[PT | 1% battery, 100% Tesla @PTwheeter]

@Teslarati 386 miles. that streak deserves a spot on the fridge

[PT | 1% battery, 100% Tesla @PTwheeter]

@NASASpaceflight Mega Bay, highway, Launch Pad 2 and now in the air. Booster 22 is doing the whole tour today
