In 2006, I owned a blog named y3 (https://t.co/C79JZ4OJXs), predating the Model 3/Y. Now own both. First sat in a Tesla in 2008. HODL since 2013, “all in” since 2021

Dumping Tesla insurance after 3 months. It has increased 48% in that time, based on <30 minutes of manual driving (mostly map-related disengagements) in 3000 miles. It now exceeds GEICO (which we left) even with 16 year old son. So disappointed. @elonmusk you gotta fix this, man.

Growing global adoption of electric vehicles helped avoid the consumption of 2.3 million barrels of oil per day last year. By 2030, avoided daily consumption could more than double to 5.25 million barrels. “Electric vehicles are increasingly cost-competitive with gasoline cars. Oil volatility means EVs are a common-sense choice for countries wishing to insulate themselves from future shocks.” Daan Walter, analyst at Ember.

It’s that time for new tires on Cybertruck. The stock Goodyears were worn out at 18k miles (again) and that was with 2 rotations so decided to go with the Pirellis this time. Will see how these do in comparison. Would be nice to get at least 20k miles on a set.

Tesla is building a chip factory bigger than anything TSMC, Samsung, or Intel has ever put under one roof. Logic, memory, and advanced packaging in a single facility. 2nm process technology. Domestically. The name alone tells you the ambition: Tera. A thousand Gigas. Rewind to 2014. Elon announced a $5 billion battery factory in the middle of the Nevada desert when Tesla sold 35,000 cars a year. Analysts called it delusional. That factory now produces more lithium-ion cells than every other American manufacturer combined and completely restructured global battery supply chains. The Gigafactory was never about batteries. It was about removing the constraint that would have killed Tesla at scale. Terafab is the same bet, one level deeper in the stack. On the January earnings call, Elon laid it out: even projecting the most optimistic chip production from TSMC and Samsung, supply still falls short. FSD needs custom silicon. Cybercab needs custom silicon. Every Optimus robot needs dozens of AI chips. One million Optimus units per year means tens of billions of chips annually. No supplier on the planet has committed to that volume. So Tesla is doing what it always does. Building the supply chain that doesn’t exist yet. The scale they’re targeting: 100,000 wafer starts per month ramping toward one million. TSMC’s entire Arizona complex, six fabs, $165 billion invested, will represent about 30% of TSMC’s advanced capacity. Tesla wants to match that in a single facility. The AI industry runs on three inputs: energy, data, and compute. Tesla already generates and stores energy at scale through Solar and Megapack. xAI already has Grok training infrastructure and the Memphis supercluster. Terafab closes the loop. One ecosystem controlling the full vertical from photon to silicon to autonomous machine. Tesla is sitting on $44 billion in cash. Capex this year exceeds $20 billion, the largest annual investment in company history, and the CFO said Terafab is on top of that. This is a company spending like the window is measured in quarters, not decades. Every major platform shift has been won by whoever controlled the bottleneck. Standard Oil controlled refining. TSMC controlled fabrication. Elon is betting that the bottleneck for the AI era is custom silicon at tera-scale, and that the company that owns energy production, chip fabrication, and robotics deployment in a single vertical will set the terms for the next 30 years. March 21. Terafab breaks ground. The last time Elon moved this fast on infrastructure, he was building Starship and Gigafactory Berlin at the same time. Both shipped.

Update on my Tesla Model Y saga, y'all ☕ Feb 18: Took a demo drive "just to see." Went home and ordered one like a man with absolutely no chill. Posted about have amazing it was.. @elonmusk and @Tesla quoted it! Feb 20: Order placed. Told myself I'd be patient. I was not patient. Feb 28: VIN assigned! I may have done a small victory lap. Mar 9: VIN vanished. Manufacturing gremlins won. Viictory lap cancelled. Mar 13: App says "Vehicle in transit." I refreshed it 47 times… patience has left the building. Mar 14: Finally an actualy delivery window of Mar 26–31. It's official. The car exists. It's headed my way. Meanwhile, my garage looks like a Tesla accessory warehouse exploded with more packages on the way... Damn you Amazon and Tesla shop! All for a car I don't technically have yet. 😂

I just spent 30 minutes talking to a senior official at the black-tie event I’m attending about FSD. She didn’t believe what I was telling her (press a button in exburban VA and Tesla goes to The Hill with no intervention). She couldn’t process it. So, we planned a ride along. 🚀

@EricETesla @robotaxi @IndiaHerdman Don’t overlook deaf users. Visual alerts are just as important as braille is for blind riders. Clear visual cues for door status, arrivals, and safety notifications support deaf passengers and improve usability for everyone, especially when audio can’t be heard. Thank you!

More intelligence is needed before coding agents can be truly independent. We are very much still in the “human supervised” era of coding agents. When they work as well as a software engineer unsupervised? That’s when shit gets real.

Self-driving is the hardest consumer technology problem anyone has ever attempted. The iPhone combined a touchscreen, cellular radio, processor, and camera into one device. Genuinely brilliant product design. But every component existed before Jobs walked on stage in 2007. The engineering risk was integration, not invention. FSD has no reference architecture. No one has shipped vision-only autonomy at scale. There’s no prior product to reverse-engineer. Every mile driven generates edge cases that have to be solved in real time with zero margin for error. A phone crash means a reboot. A car crash means a funeral. Tesla’s fleet has now logged billions of supervised FSD miles. Each one feeds a training loop that compounds. The neural net today is unrecognizable from the version two years ago. And the rate of improvement is accelerating, not flattening. That’s the single most important signal in any technology curve. The smartphone revolution gave 1.5 billion people a computer in their pocket. Real autonomy gives 6 billion people their time back. Every commute, every truck route, every elderly driver who lost their license, every 22-year-old who would’ve driven home drunk anyway. Waymo spent 15 years, uses LIDAR, HD maps, and geofenced cities. Tesla is attempting the same thing with cameras and software on roads it has never pre-mapped. Whether you think they’ll get there or not, the scope of that ambition has no comparison in consumer tech. People discount FSD because they’re anchored to finished products. The iPhone is done. You can hold it, count the users, measure the revenue. FSD is being built in public, which makes it easy to pick apart. But the hardest engineering problems look unimpressive right up until the moment they work. Then everyone pretends it was obvious.

Self driving Tesla has replaced the iPhone for me as the most transformative technology of the 21st century. The iPhone has had far more impact so far, but I think the self driving Tesla is the most impressive tech creation of the 21st century.

I plan to buy and deploy large fleets around the country when possible. Should pay back and be positive FCF < 2 years…
Teslaconomics@Teslaconomics

I plan on owning my own Tesla Robotaxi fleet one day. And the more I run the numbers, the more I realize this new business could become one of the most powerful income opportunities I've ever seen. This is how I'm thinking about it. Based on many analyst models and Tesla’s long-term vision, a reasonable base case assumption is about ~$30,000 per year in net profit per Robotaxi to the owner. This is after things like Tesla’s platform fee, charging, tires, maintenance, insurance, and cleaning. Of course, the network is still early and Tesla is just beginning to roll this out in pilot programs in a few cities, so there’s no official real-world owner earnings yet... but using reasonable assumptions around utilization, pricing per mile, and operating costs, the math starts to get really interesting. If one Robotaxi can earn around $30,000 per year, here’s what a fleet might look like: • $100,000 per year → about 4 Robotaxis • $500,000 per year → about 17 Robotaxis • $1,000,000 per year → about 34 Robotaxis It may sound a bit crazy at first, but when you break it down, it starts to make more sense. These vehicles could potentially drive 50,000 to 100,000+ miles per year in high demand areas. If the economics land somewhere around $0.25-$0.50 profit per mile after all costs, you end up right around that ~$30k per vehicle per year range. And remember, the Tesla’s Robotaxi network is going to work a lot like Airbnb for cars. You add your vehicle to the network, Tesla handles the software, routing, payments, and rider experience, and they take a platform fee (often modeled around 25-35%). The owner keeps the rest after operating costs. Another thing that makes this interesting is the expected cost of the vehicles themselves. Tesla has talked about the purpose-built Cybercabs costing roughly $25k-$30k and Elon told me production is starting in 1 month! If that’s even close to reality, a fleet capable of generating around $1 million per year could theoretically cost somewhere around $850k-$1M in vehicles. That ROI is pretty freakin good! Now to be clear, none of this is guaranteed. I'm just thinking out loud and sharing it with you... a lot still depends on regulations, how fast unsupervised FSD scales, demand in each city, insurance costs, and how Tesla structures the network. But if the system works the way Elon has described it for years, owning a Robotaxi fleet could become one of the most powerful forms of passive income I've ever seen. And I plan on sharing the numbers with everyone on 𝕏 when the day comes. Personally, that’s why I’m paying such close attention. Bc one day, owning a fleet of autonomous Teslas working for me 24/7 might be the modern version of owning a rental property, except instead of tenants, you’ve got robots driving people around all day while you sleep. This next book of Tesla is going to be so exciting!
