Tony is more than a tiger when it comes to modeling the Lit-ION battery jungle!

[Tony Seba @tonyseba]

In my 2014 book #CleanDisruption, I said that lithium-ion batteries would cost $100/kWh by the end of 2023.

Now, in September 2023, Benchmark Mineral Intelligence (@benchmarkmin) confirms lithium-ion batteries just dipped below $100/kWh.

Standing ovation for this line from King Charles: The U.S. Supreme court historical society has calculated that Magna Carta is cited in at least 160 supreme court cases since 1789, not least as the foundation of the principle that executive power is subject to checks and balances.

The fact the Tesla is launching Unsupervised Robotaxi right off the bat in Houston and Dallas makes me more bullish for the speed of the Cybercab rollout. I was expecting the Robotaxi rides in new cities to initially only be offered with safety monitors.

Exciting times!

In 1994 I saw this live and it was a beautiful mashup of many genres and made all uncomfortable because they did not have the category slot.

David Letterman didn’t know what hit him.

Something big has changed at Giga Texas with Cybercab production … ~ 14 in the outbound lot WITHOUT STEERING WHEELS!

Earlier this week, the production line has begun what we are all waiting for and I would expect to see many more starting on Monday, 4/20 🤠

A big step forward!

[Joe Tegtmeyer 🚀 🤠🛸😎 @JoeTegtmeyer]

Cybercab production line work continues and more vehicles seem to be leaving the factory and headed to the outbound lot. Today I saw another ~60 but this time they were spread all over the outbound lot, some driving to the Superchargers, others doing driving testing while even more look to be preparing for transportation off site.

Now that we are in mid-April, I’m hoping we will begin to see even more of these showing up at the outbound lot and if that starts to happen, it will give a better idea how the production line is doing as far as ramping up.

And thank you to @TaiwanSemi_TSC and @Samsung for your support in bringing this chip to production! It will be one of most produced AI chips ever.

Tesla Insurance update

With the latest version of Safety Score (v3.0), every mile you drive with FSD Supervised enabled will receive a score of 100.

This allows you to maintain a higher average safety score over time, resulting in lower monthly insurance premiums.

Applies to new policies in Indiana, Tennessee, Texas, Arizona, Virginia & Illinois

Congrats to the @Tesla_AI chip design team on taping out AI5!

AI6, Dojo3 & other exciting chips in work.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

God’s heart is torn apart by wars, violence, injustice and lies. But our Father’s heart is not with the wicked, the arrogant, or the proud. God’s heart is with the little ones and the humble, and with them He builds up His Kingdom of love and peace day by day. Wherever there is love and service, God is there. #ApostolicJourney #Algeria

"Ramble On" is 56 years old and Robert Plant just walked onto The Late Show and made it sound like he wrote it this morning.

Warren Buffett: "The insurance business provides us with float and float is money that we hold that doesn't belong to us. It's like a bank having deposits."

"To date, with Berkshire, in the 29 years we've been in the business, it appears that our float has not cost us anything."

The genius of Berkshire’s Insurance companies is that Buffett invested the capital they generated through premiums.

Somebody sent me this, which I think might just make your day. I don't know who to credit it to, I'm afraid, but whoever filmed it, thank you.
Happy Easter

🚨 Neuralink patient #3 Brad (ALS) just got his REAL voice back, thanks to Neuralink + ElevenLabs cloning.

His family can finally hear him again! Warm, familiar, full of life.

No more robotic sound. Just him.

This is the most beautiful side of AI.

🇰🇷 South Korea quietly won the missile defense arms race, and almost nobody noticed.

While Washington was busy explaining why Patriot batteries cost as much as a small country’s GDP, Seoul’s Cheongung system went 29 for 30 in its combat debut over Iranian airspace. That is a 96.7% kill rate. In real missiles. In a real war.

LIG Nex1 built a system that works better and costs a fraction of the price. Gulf nations are already calling. The order books are filling up. South Korea just became the most interesting arms exporter on the planet.

The Patriot lobby will not enjoy this week.

93 years & 231 days old Ann Esselstyn dead hangs for 2 min 52 seconds! To set new WR. (Maybe we call it live hangs instead now?) Distal strength reflects many things.

$TSLA deliveries of 358K were up about 7% year every year. More or less in line with the whisper and a win for the company given it’s the first quarter where we get a true read on underline demand post last years September tax credit sunset.

The bottom line is Tesla deliveries are growing without the help of subsidies.

The development of the machine gun, aircraft and tanks changed the landscape of warfare for decades... however, what AI and robotics are doing is truly crazy. The next peer to peer war will be absolutely brutal.
