🚨BREAKING: Revival has hit the University of South Alabama! 596 students have given their lives to Christ!

🔥 Tesla is rumored to open customer reservations for Optimus in early December, according to the San Francisco Standard.

Want even more evidence that @Tesla FSD is going mainstream? Here’s 2016 F1 World Champion Nico Rosberg after recently trying FSD (Supervised) for the first time: "It's been LIFE-CHANGING! My scarcest resource currently is time. And now, I was able to get some of that time back on the commute. By the evening, it actually felt like I'd won back half a working day!! I even had a mini date with my wife on the drive. My whole racing career, I was the one in control behind the wheel. But I'm now fully willing to hand over control!! It’s crazy that 75% of new Teslas delivered in North America last quarter came with FSD. In Europe, we’re still way behind on this tech. And we for sure need to move faster!!"

🚨 TESLA SEMI ENTERS VOLUME PRODUCTION IN NEVADA Tesla has begun high-volume production of its Class 8 electric Semi truck at its new Nevada factory. • Dedicated plant with up to 50,000 trucks per year design capacity • 25,000 units of installed annual capacity confirmed in Q3 • Largest single electric truck order in U.S. history: 2,500 units • 500-mile range at full load and rapid charging capability • European customer deliveries planned to start in 2027 The Semi is scaling from pilot fleets to real commercial volume as Tesla expands electric trucking.

Car rental marketplace Turo just sent out this email promoting @Tesla’s FSD (Supervised). “A drive around the block can only tell you so much, so go beyond the showroom lot and take a Tesla with FSD (Supervised) on your weekend getaway. Explore FSD (Supervised) cars.”

Our engineers recently visited one of our speech restoration study participants for a 72-hour hackathon. The goal: rapidly prototype as many features as possible to enhance the experience of using Neuralink to communicate with thought. Here are some of the things we built 🧵

Tesla's "We, Robot" event was never just a futuristic concept It was a preview of the future Tesla was already building, and now that vision is becoming reality: • Cybercab: in production at Giga Texas and already giving paid rides in Austin • Robotaxi: fully driverless rides in Austin, Dallas, Houston, Miami, Orlando and Tampa, with more cities coming • Optimus: early production has begun on Tesla's high-volume line in Fremont • Robovan: Tesla's vision for autonomous mass transportation What looked like science fiction in October 2024 is happening right in front of us And this is only the beginning

Elon Musk predicts Neuralink will let you mentally inhabit an Optimus robot "You should be able to actually have full body control and sensors from an Optimus robot. So you could basically inhabit an Optimus robot" "So you could basically mentally remote into an Optimus robot. It’d be kind of cool. The future’s going to be weird. But pretty cool" "We think in the future we’ll be able to attach an Optimus arm or legs" "That scene from Star Wars where Luke Skywalker gets his hand chopped off with a lightsaber, and he gets a robot hand"

For some reason, I’m feeling it today! If you feel like the devil is winning, STOP what you're doing and WATCH THIS! Chess is always played from the center. "The highest art of the chessplayer lies in not allowing your opponent to show you what he can do." (Kasparov) @GodlyPhilosophy

🚨 TESLA BEGINS OPTIMUS PRODUCTION IN FREMONT Tesla has started early production of Optimus humanoid robots on its high-volume line at Fremont. • First production-quality units now coming off the line • Line designed for up to 1 million robots per year • Target of 20,000 units per week expected in about a year • Manufacturing process proven suitable for commercial product • Larger Texas line under construction for even higher volume Optimus is moving from prototype to real production as Tesla scales its robotics program.

CNET’s Live folding and unfolding the iPhone Duo on TikTok and X has now reached more than 124,470 Folds without any damage and is still going strong after 4 days!!! I guess the flaw with the hinge really is with only a few iPhone Duo models!!

Tesla is building Robotaxi to give millions of people something absolutely priceless: the freedom to travel independently Last week, Tesla's Robotaxi team hosted Accessibility Day with members of the disabled community, gathering feedback that will directly shape Cybercab and future autonomous vehicles Tesla's vision says it all: “Robotaxi = freedom of low cost, on-demand, safe transportation for the masses” For people who are unable to drive themselves, affordable autonomous transportation has the potential to completely transform their everyday lives Imagine having the freedom to go to work, visit loved ones, run errands, and travel wherever you need without depending on someone else to drive you For millions of people, that kind of independence would be absolutely life-changing And that's what makes Tesla's vision for Robotaxi so extraordinary

Totally blind, first ride in Robotaxi, the app was totally accessible, the ride accessible, the drop-off accessible, it felt unusually normal! @TeslaSI

Tesla’s Robotaxi service just crossed 4 million autonomous miles!

Tesla has announced that their robotaxi service now runs until 2 AM (from 1 AM before). Getting close to 24-hour operation! Other updates: • Trip details can now be shared with your friends • Rear view camera feed now available during your ride • New Calm Mode: dims screen & sets cabin lighting to a "relaxing state." • Grok now in Model Y robotaxi Accessibility updates: • There is now haptic feedback to assist users in finding their Cybercab/Model Y robotaxi • Improved vehicle locating arrow in the app • Music Control via Screen Reader Been hard to keep track of all the robotaxi service updates lately lol.
