BREAKING: Philippines becomes the first country in Southeast Asia to commercially launch Starlink Direct-to-Cell through a mobile network.

Globe has secured regulatory approval to offer Starlink Direct-to-Cell service nationwide.

Tesla FSD (Supervised) review:

"It drives, changes lanes, signals, passes slower traffic, and even parks itself with almost eerie confidence. Parking behind some random warehouse, a bank, or a fast-food joint? It handled all of it like a pro. No sudden surprises. No jerky corrections. No panicked interventions. It just quietly gets on with the task, like a well-trained but slightly smug valet.

It even backs itself into parking spaces, which is especially handy if you plan to plug in afterward, since that charging port is mounted at the rear.

I completely understand the hype surrounding @Tesla’s technology, because it is genuinely impressive. Tesla tends to dance to its own tune, yet it continues to provide compelling transportation alternatives for the masses."

Tesla and SpaceX have introduced an updated Terafab website along with a new rendering:

"Tesla, SpaceX, and xAl are launching the most epic chip-building effort ever - combining logic, memory and advanced packaging under one roof. We aspire to be a galactic civilization."

Mariana Minerals CEO and former Tesla Senior Manager @tbc415 explains why Elon Musk sets such aggressive deadlines:

"When Elon sets super aggressive targets, the goal is actually to get the team to think really deliberately and very deeply about what doesn't work and what doesn't solve for the aggressive timeframe."

"It gives you your priority list."

"There's 1,000 things that have to happen if we want to do this in six months. 900 of those things can be done in six months, but 100 of them cannot be done in six months. So we have to go attack those 100 things."

Model S & X will live on through me

[Tesla Optimus @Tesla_Optimus]

Optimus will be the biggest product ever made.

A general-purpose humanoid robot that can do useful work at scale will change the economics of labor & manufacturing.

Goal is to get Optimus to high-volume production as fast as possible.

If you’re great at AI, engineering, or manufacturing & want to build this, join us!

Announcing TERAFAB: the next step towards becoming a galactic civilization https://t.co/xTA70LOU0e

BREAKING: The FCC today officially granted @Tesla a waiver allowing it to use Ultra-Wideband (UWB) radio technology for its wireless EV charging system that will be used to wirelessly charge the Cybercab.

Normally, this kind of radio must be handheld and can’t be installed outdoors on fixed equipment. Tesla’s charging pad is fixed and could be outdoors, so they needed an exception.

The FCC said yes because:
• The signal is very low power
• It only turns on briefly while parking
• It works at very short range
• It won’t interfere with other systems

More information from the filing: "The Tesla positioning system is an impulse UWB radio system that enables peer-to-peer communications between a UWB transceiver installed on an electric vehicle (EV) and a second UWB transceiver installed on a ground-level pad — which could be located outdoors — to achieve optimal positioning for the EV to charge wirelessly.

Prior to the UWB operation, the vehicular system uses Bluetooth technology for the vehicle to discover the location of the ground pad and engage in data exchange activities (which is not subject to the waiver).

When the vehicle approaches the ground pad, the UWB transceivers will operate to track the position of the vehicle to determine when the optimal position has been achieved over the pad before enabling wireless power charging."

In its waiver request, Tesla states that the UWB signals occur only briefly when the vehicle approaches the ground pad; and mostly at ground level between the vehicle and the pad, and that the UWB signals are then significantly attenuated by the body of the vehicle positioned over the pad.

AUSTIN YOU HAVE MY HEART 🥸 BUT THE BATS THING IS WEIRD THO

[Sawyer Merritt @SawyerMerritt]

This is a big deal. SpaceX has now gotten two of the top four largest U.S. airlines, United and Southwest, to adopt @Starlink. That's over 1,800 commercial airplanes.

Airlines that don't have great internet will lose customers to airlines that do have great internet. American Airlines and Delta remain.
