@NotFarLeftAtAll End of their shift and keen to get home in time to watch a football match on TV

@BBCr4today On what reasonable basis could Mike Williams say that the match between England and Italy (who have 5 points each and lie 4th & 5th in the table) is “the Big One” compared to the match between France and Scotland (who have 26 points between them and lie 1st & 3rd in the table)? @ScottishRugbyXV

I think the Supercharger network is probably Tesla's best product ever.
It took a decade, but Tesla built the largest, most reliable, and most widely used EV charging network in the world — to the point where every major automaker has adopted Tesla's NACS connector. Analysts now value the Supercharger business at potentially $100 billion and project it could generate $10 to $20 billion in annual revenue by 2030.
If Tesla can replicate that playbook for trucks, it would be a massive deal, enabling long-haul electric trucking. The trucking industry runs on infrastructure. Fleet operators won't switch to electric without a reliable, fast, and widespread charging network along the corridors they already drive. That's exactly what Tesla is building with these 64 Megacharger locations.
No other company is close to matching this in North America. Daimler, Volvo, and Traton formed the Milence joint venture for European truck charging, but that's Europe-focused and targeting 1,700 charging points by 2027. ChargePoint has announced MCS support but hasn't deployed at scale. Tesla is the only company that has proven it can actually build a massive charging network from scratch and run it profitably. The Pilot Travel Centers partnership shows that truck stop operators already understand this, they saw what happened with the Supercharger network and want in on the ground floor.
The big question now is execution speed. All 64 sites are listed as "coming soon" without specific dates, and Tesla's history with the Semi program includes years of delays. But the Pilot partnership, the 1.2 MW charging demonstration, and the addition of 64 locations to the map all at once suggest that this time, the infrastructure is moving in lockstep with production. If Tesla delivers, it won't just sell trucks, it will own the refueling infrastructure.

@Tesla_NL_TR Posting messages which say that I know something really important but I cannot tell you what it is is fully within the definition of click bait. Please stop
English

For months I was called clickbait.
I was told I was spreading rumors.
I was dismissed as “just another Tesla hype account.”
Today it’s official.
FSD Ride-Along bookings are now live in the Netherlands with Tesla.
Exactly what I’ve been saying.
• FSD is being demonstrated publicly
• People can experience it from the passenger seat
• The Netherlands is part of the rollout
Stay consistent.
Facts always win.

Congratulations to @larsblackmore, who as much as anyone is responsible for Falcon 9 landings, on being elected to the National Academy of Engineering.

The UK already has an Autonomous Vehicles Act on the statute book. The Government has just published a consultation paper on some aspects of how to implement that Act. assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/69317dc1… The advent of autonomous vehicles in the UK is getting closer, albeit further patience still required. @aikisteve @stevenryanmark @wholemars @FutureAZA @elonmusk

@EstherRebers @Tesla_Calle Thank you for posting this. Very encouraging

FSD Supervised in Europe! @Tesla_Calle and myself have just experienced one of the first testdrives in Europe. Location: Düsseldorf, Germany. Amazingly smooth and safe drive in one of the busiest areas. We are so very impressed. Europe needs FSD Supervised asap!

@KariLake The election procedures for the President of the EU Commission are rather similar to those for Speaker of the House and both have broadly similar powers.
English

How does the so-called leader of the European Union hold this position without being elected? And then tries to exert her power over elected officials?

@aikisteve He did not "inadvertently" admit it. He was openly clear that production would start about 18 months after the 1 April product reveal

@Olliedodd Well done and thank you. Your network is fully keeping up with the expansion of EV take-up.

🎄Cracker of a site just opened thanks to the UK Tesla Charging team. 17 miles north of the infamous Tebay services, just off the M6 > providing access to the Lake District with 16x V4 stalls (phase 1) for all EVs. In December 23' Tebay experienced 340 drivers waiting 10-minutes or more to charge during the holiday period. Since then, we've opened Supercharging sites in Preston, Todhills, Gretna Caledonia Park, Larkhall, (2x expansions) and now Rheged - adding 93 new chargers along this route to enable range comfort, availability and low-cost charging. Customer centric, data driven decisions ready for the winter season travel. @TeslaOwnersUK

@thedeepblue_ The AlexRainbird Sessions recording of "Orange is the only colour" by The Deep Blue has just appeared on my Spotify playlist and what a stunning version it is. The voices and acoustic guitar are much richer in tone than the previous recording. Stunning ... please give it a listen.
