Another random geek!
Taught myself how to program when I was 12 on an Apple IIe.

Barstow, CA (120 stalls) expansion is now open, providing charging capacity for the Los Angeles - Las Vegas corridor.

This is currently our largest Supercharger in the world, has Pre-assembled Supercharger Units, 495 kW of solar canopies and is trailer friendly.

@SpaceX Not sure if it is you, Twitter or my phone but when viewing the video with my phone sideways and full screen, a small portion of the video is cut off the bottom. Can only see the top of the status circle and top of the telemetry numbers.

I like to think this is my Dust Removal Tool saying "heyyy 🤗"

More than just a cutie pie, this wire brush helps me clear off dust to get a better view of a rock’s surface and allows my team to more accurately measure the rock’s composition. I’ve used it nearly 400 times so far!

@elonmusk It's not really more power right? Just part of the checks and balances?

The Discount Tire guy’s face yesterday when I turned the rear wheels on my Cybertruck…

“Did the back wheels just… turn?” 🤨 he said.

I’d turned them to help him locate the screw in the rear tire, I was there for them to fix it.

They don’t know. No one knows. It’s still early.

They think it’s a goofy triangle. They think it *means* something. That we bought it *for* them. For attention.

They don’t know that it’s just an incredible vehicle, shaped incredibly differently. They don’t know WHY it is snapped that way.

It is ahead of its time. But if only they knew.

This is why Tesla surged ~33% this week. The engineering talent. The understanding they have. Their thorough expertise. Their execution of incredible products.

That understanding being imparted on regular people is how Tesla surges to $2T/m. cap. To $1000/share.

That understanding is how you sell 5m vehicles a year.

That understanding takes time.

I can’t wait til they understand.

The luddites at Willowbank Raceway have decided they’re sick of having EVs win drag races… 🤣

[Hey, Dave! @davegreenidge57]

Here’s a video produced by “Led by Donkeys” out of the U.K. that puts down the timeline of how Musk used X to get Donald Trump elected. I would save it because I don’t think it will be up for long.

@KiwiEV Imagine if they would have kept the innovation and RnD going? They'd be on the EV20 by now and it would have a 300 mile range and cost less than gasoline cars.

Simplicity Wins

Electric motors (on the left) have fewer parts, wear out less quickly, require less repair and maintenance, have better performance, much lower CO2 generation, and are simply cheaper compared to combustion engines (on the right) and yet legacy car manufacturers don't seem to fully get this simple truth.

[--== Josh ==-- @ramgarden]

@alex_avoigt This picture says it all.
Same horsepower and performance, waaaaay fewer parts.

[Tesla @Tesla]

Electric motors are also far more efficient at converting energy into motion

This is why even in areas where fossil-based energy sources dominate the grid, powering a Tesla is still cleaner than a gas vehicle

@WhirlpoolCorp how can we order a new knob for our gold series oven?

[AntifaPuddin’Pop @Andie00471]

Since I appear to be offering up lessons on tariffs today, riddle me this, Maga. Tariffs on imported building materials like plywood, drywall and roofing will result in skyrocketing costs of rebuilding post Hurricane Helene (or any other natural disaster). This will immediately impact the cost of your homeowners insurance. The cherry on top is you voted for the party that last week indicated they wanted to repeal the CHIPS act! The FAFO is real.

*don't come at me with where building materials come from. i promise i know more about it than you do.

Who would like to see more locations have visible signage of their current prices? Would this impact your choice to charge? It's great companies have this and hope to see more!
