We – design the chips & hardware – make the cars w/ said hardware – collect real-world data at scale – train the real-world AI model – built (& continue to expand) the massive supercomputer cluster that trains it – deploy AI directly to millions of robots on wheels All that is shared with @Tesla_Optimus for broader applications in both the physical & digital world

The US now has the production capacity to supply 100% of its energy-storage systems domestically bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

A barn like this deserves a roof that matches the architecture. This project blends historic stone construction with modern energy technology using a Tesla Solar Roof. Instead of traditional panels sitting on top of the roof, the solar tiles are the roof. Clean lines. No bulky racking. Just a sleek system generating power while preserving the look of the building. Projects like this show how solar can work beautifully on unique structures without sacrificing design.

When charging at home (entirely from the grid) my Cybertruck cost 5¢ a mile...$5/100 miles to run. But, we have solar panels making 78% of our home and truck electricity, so it is even less for us. BTW solar is immune to geopolitical and market problems.


NEW 22.320 kW Tesla Solar Roof + Powerwall 3 Installation | Newtown, PA This project features a 22.320 kW Tesla Solar Roof system made up of 310 Tesla SR72T3R solar tiles, designed to fully replace the existing roof while generating clean energy. Instead of traditional rack-mounted panels, these tempered glass solar shingles integrate directly into the roof system for a low-profile, premium look. The system includes: • 22.320 kW DC system size • 310 Tesla SR72T3R solar tiles • 2 Tesla Powerwall 3 units • 2 Tesla Backup Gateway 3 systems • Rail-less attachment system • Rapid shutdown devices for safety compliance Each Powerwall 3 provides 11.5 kW of inverter output and 13.5 kWh of battery storage, delivering backup protection and energy independence. With a total array STC power of 22,320W and a max AC output of 23,000W this system is built for serious performance while maintaining full code compliance under the 2018 IRC and 2017 NEC. From structural engineering approval to final commissioning, this installation was designed to meet wind exposure C at 109 MPH and a 40 PSF ground snow load, ensuring durability in Pennsylvania weather. Clean energy. Full roof replacement. Whole-home backup. Installed by American Home Contractors Installing peace of mind since 1986. Learn more: americanhomecontractors.com/solar-roof-cal…



China has a much more even split between rooftop solar and solar farms than the U.S. does. It's not worth it here to go through all the red tape for a small system. We need to fix that.
