@EcoHeliGuy @RJScaringe @Rivian @RivianTrackr Banger dad joke

@RJScaringe I think @Rivian needs to make an adjustment to the model numbering scheme. R1T and R1S don’t fit the pattern with R2 and R3. Because you didn’t leave the opportunity for an extreme Truck based R3……. T-R3x 🦖 @Hilbe @RivianTrackr

@DriveTeslaca The only scenario to be aware of is regenerative breaking when entering a turn. AWD has more speed control, RWD will be dragging the back end. But this is much better than FWD where the back end wants to keep the momentum up into the turn. All other scenarios RWD is great.

Been getting this question A LOT since the $39k Model 3 was announced last night. Let’s hear from other Tesla RWD owners about their experience driving in the snow ❄️ Personally I’ve never had an issue in snow. A good set of snow tires and it’ll outperform many AWD cars.

Great news coming soon for Canadian commercial EV station owners and operators. If you looking to add Level 2 commercial stations to your property or Multi Family Unit but dont want to pay (*free), contact our sales team to be included in the Beta we are running now for Commercial club. sales@unitedchargers.com

Timing is everything. Check out these images, taken today, of Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center. At 07:29 local time, Gen-3 captured an extreme off-nadir twilight shot of a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket on the pad before again catching the vehicle in flight at 10:13, 38 seconds after launch, as it was traveling more than 400 miles per hour. With time-diverse imaging capabilities and flexible imaging modes, Gen-3 sees relevant activity at all hours of the day.

Powering the next giant leap. A novel electromagnetic thruster that runs on lithium metal vapor was successfully fired up for the first time during initial tests at JPL. Fully developed and paired with a nuclear power source, these thrusters could reduce launch mass and support payloads required for human Mars missions.

@Hilbe Also the R2 needs to be approved by regulators in tandem.

Once the vehicle rolls off the assembly line, there are still final quality control (QC) checks that need to happen. For new models, often there are rework/repairs that are required due to findings in QC. Once the vehicle has passed QC, logistics come into play. They have to put the vehicle in the yard and schedule transportation. The plant in Normal is located against a freight line and vehicles are loaded onto trains for delivery to delivery locations (service centers). The shipping process can take weeks to transpire. Remember when Rivian launched Gen 2, it was announced in July and deliveries started in August/September. I would think if we were to see R2 "customer" deliveries happening they would be factory pickups in 1 or 2 weeks and the rest of the country would be 4 to 8 weeks out. Here's a photo I took of the rework R1 vehicles at the plant.

@DriveTeslaca @SpaceX @DriveTeslaca I love your content. But buying into all this online nonsense isn’t your usual quality. You are linking images of @Nord_Space launch Facility in Newfoundland. Which not only is watermarked in the images. But evident in the Newfoundland flag. @astrorahul_

Remember this announcement last month? This is what the Canadian government committed $20M per year for the next 10 years to. First photo is the current state of the “Nova Scotia Spaceport.” The others are from 7 months ago. And they expect this to compete with @SpaceX?

@SciGuySpace @StephenFleming But Orion is NASA’s capsule. I could see a day when NASA decides: “ we don’t do launch “ “ we need a high Scientific return (ROI) ” I believe Orion lives on, and the only way they get a high cadence is to buy commercial launch services. They did its for ISS, why not Orion

@StephenFleming Maybe. It depends on how serious Blue Origin gets with its own crew capsule development.

On Orion’s reentry: “And then there was a point—there’s something that I feel that I am not ready to say to the public yet.” arstechnica.com/space/2026/04/…

NASA has given approval to begin implementing its project to support @ESA's Rosalind Franklin mission. Scheduled to launch in 2028, this Mars rover will be the first to search for signs of past or present life under the Red Planet’s surface. go.nasa.gov/4vAIeX1

Intuitive Machines has been chosen for a fifth mission, IM-5 and I'm seriously pumped about this one because it will be the first time we get to fly our big boy - the mighty NOVA D lander! The earlier NASA awards were all about proving the tech, but IM-5 is a massive leap forward. We’re stepping up with bigger, tougher hardware, teaming up on international payloads  and heading to a prime ridge on Mons Malapert. That spot gives us near-continuous sunlight for power and rock-solid, constant comms with Earth. This isn't just a delivery run; we're scaling up and pushing the envelope to get us closer to a sustained lunar presence.

@YounieTyler @teslayoda Victoria was one of the first places with superchargers. And Sidney has superchargers

@teslayoda And yet, Victoria, the capital of BC cant even get a single supercharger lol

Tesla is set to open its largest showroom and service center in North America in Vancouver, British Columbia.

That’s just nuts 🤣 just announce you switching from shoes to AI. This is market bull market peak right here 🤣

Introducing the Large Docking Adapter. The future of space is larger space stations, vehicles, and payloads. Designed to support greater overall mass while standardizing module compatibility, the adapter is currently in development at Vast HQ and available for order. vastspace.com/updates/vast-u…

We’re partnering with @Rivian to deploy the first Redwood Energy system at a U.S. auto manufacturing plant. 10 MWh of onsite, dispatchable energy, cutting peak costs, reducing grid strain, and powering large-scale manufacturing operations. redwoodmaterials.com/news/rivian-an…
