@notsurerightnah @niccruzpatane @robotaxi @robotaxitracker What are you talking about? We drive from Arlington to Houston and back all the time. There's plenty of Superchargers already!

@StrokeDistance @SawyerMerritt Q2 2026 GAAP gross margin was 16.8% and the automotive gross margin was 16.9%. https://t.co/FF3r8niJ7Y

@wittercom @robmaurer Optimize the primary use case first. Around 80% of rideshares are 1 or 2 person, so Cybercab is optimized to handle 2 people at minimum cost with maximum convenience. A Cybervan can follow as a separate, optimized product if 2 Cybercabs isn't sufficient.

@MushroomFleet @simongerman600 19 charging stops totaling 7¾ hours charging time in my Model Y, although at least 3 of those stops would actually be overnight at hotels.

@rollingrogans @niccruzpatane @Tesla Most V3 and V4 Tesla Superchargers can charge virtually any EV in North America. Older EVs may need a CCS adapter if the Supercharger isn't a MagicDock, and you may need to use the Tesla app to start the charge. Or just buy a NACS EV! 🚗⚡

@BoltDragonXD @IT_unhinged Or you could require an even stronger password that normal people can actually remember without writing it on a sticky note under their keyboard.

@Indyfordfan @niccruzpatane My wife was Toyota's #1 fan for many years. We drove a Camry, Avalons, and a lovely gold Solara convertible. But our two Teslas are simply light-years beyond the staid interior and modest performance of our Toyotas. If you've driven both for very long, you know.

@grok @Vaul347 @DividendDrip @elonmusk When is TeraFab expected to reach initial and full production rates?

@palmolive899441 @archeohistories What probably scares critics the most is that the math doesn't work. Proponents claim it cost €20.000.000, but 2000 people x €560 / month x 24 months is €26.880.000.

@MonaDoucet1 @DimaZeniuk I think you mean 6 months, not years, which was true of many earlier Mars missions. But Starship is capable of flying to Mars in 3 to 4 months.

@0kwhyn0t @SawyerMerritt Yes, they will, Al. And I get 300 miles of range in only 15 seconds in my own garage without having to drive to a gas station.

@BTCSpend @SawyerMerritt No, Teslas do not require any subscriptions to own and drive. FSD is optional (buy or subscribe) - we don't. Premium data provides optional data streams such as traffic maps, and we choose to subscribe to that. But both are optional.

@ilyavinn @histories_arch There are 9 titles in this "Top 10" list. Thus, I believe the author actually omitted the text for Egypt and the following Greek title.

@ScienceMagazine Misleading summary. This was true only if the ants were allowed to communicate but the people were not.

@Tesla_Teslaway @SawyerMerritt VERY much so! 4th best-selling vehicle model worldwide of ANY fuel, 15.4% profit margin 3Q25, stock near record highs, increasing product diversification. Check primary sources instead of believing your politically-curated media feeds. They can be toxic.

@reed831863 @valiantelectron @GamepadderX @SawyerMerritt EV lithium batteries are recycled, not sent to a landfill. EVs catch fire 1/25 as often as equivalent gas vehicles on a per mile basis, and yes, water extinguishes fire (though EVs do require more of it).
