Crap, @elonmusk was following my suggestions all along, subscription based tech company measured on ARR is under way. Time to buy the last ones before it goes subscription only.
Update to call out #3 to include Fleet & Government Agencies. @elonmusk call me

Hey @elonmusk any overlap with soon to be decommissioned cybertruck line and ability to make some blade and vein castings? Those idra presses are pretty beefy.
Replying to @TeslaBoomerMama
SpaceX and Tesla are each building 100GW/year of solar production capacity as fast as possible, but natural gas will still be needed to supplement and bootstrap solar for several years. The limiting factor for nat gas turbine production is casting the blades & vanes. By doing in-house casting at SpaceX, we can accelerate nat gas turbines coming online by up to 18 months, which is a profound game-changer.

Or you take a first principals view and approach it from a new holding company of ‘X Corp’ that acquires 99% of SpaceX and 51% of Tesla under a tax free 351 exchange. And Elon keeps his Tesla comp plan under the majority owned subsidiary. All at a ~$5T combined valuation today

Hey @WassymBensaid instead of all the emails about the update can actually we get the update before it disappears? Gen2 R1S still on 2026.31

If you can jump and kick flip a flying car, you can catch the ship and the booster this time
Looks like we will probably catch the ship with the tower in a few months. If there had been a tower out to sea where we practiced landing the ship, it would have been caught. First reflight of the ship will be either end of this year or early next. That will be a fork in the road of history for consciousness reaching the stars.

Is anyone else having front camera not working issues with their R1? My Gen2 has been in service 2x to fix the same issue and it continues to reoccur. Before making a 3rd attempt, curious if this is a more wide spread issue or I just have a lemon. @Rivian

Did @Rivian hire the same paint experts that Tesla did earlier on? That bumper paint is an entirely different shade as the rear quarter. Can’t be a material thing bc the plastic charge port cap matches fine

Went with a friend to pickup their Y Premium at Mohegan Sun in CT yesterday. They are pumping out deliveries non stop. Also my wife and kids didn’t realize how spacious the YL would be, almost as roomy as our R1S but the captains chairs are a non starter with 3 kids and gear.

Hey @Rivian I’m not a compass expert but the arrow is pointing to North West and the label says North East (we’re going north east). Same for south east. @WassymBensaid

NYC robotaxi corner case. Subaru l broke down blocking traffic. Will the car go around on its own or the human have to take over?

Limiting factor will be delivery transport timing.
$TSLA Q3 delivery estimates are over 490K 👀 I think Tesla will 500K this time. Demand and wait times are insanely high right now.

This thing remains a road trip unit. Hauled 2000 pounds of tile and an air hockey table from CT to VT
