@forallcurious Can we say that, that's the shape of earth's orbit around the sun?
English

Yeah, I was referring to the data stream on the computer buffer which is a 10 minute loop. Once you transfer that to the flash drive it’s retained. That happens only when an accident is detected or when you honk your horn or activate dashcam. Also, sentry mode stores clips on the flashdrive when it’s enabled and nearby motion is detected while parked.
The flashdrive is pugged in the back wall of the glovebox so you can check that out yourself.

@PMagadanz @WadeMiller @zenvryellow How big is the storage device used and how big are the files....simply saying they are slated to be overwritten doesnt mean they will...I have dash cam video on my storage device thats 6 months old

I bought a Tesla. Never thought I’d get an electric vehicle, but took a ride in a buddy’s Tesla and changed my mind.
I’ve been using the supervised self-driving mode for my daily commute into DC. It’s pretty amazing.
Today the car suddenly moved into the left lane, very abruptly. In that split second a very large piece of debris blew into the lane I had been in. The Tesla self driving system saw what I couldn’t see.
When I drive I can only see from the perspective of the driver side front seat. The Tesla has multiple censors with different angles of view. It saw what I couldn’t.
Importantly, even I I had seen it at the same time, the split second that it would have taken me to check blind spots and then consciously make the decision to move over would have taken too long. The Tesla knew all these variables simultaneously and almost instantly and was able to avoid impact safely.
Well done @elonmusk and @Tesla team.

@WadeMiller @zenvryellow When you honk your horn, the last 10 minutes of data gets stored on your flash drive for dashcam review. Otherwise the data gets overwritten.

@Zhitnipalzhi Reading in English in Florida, USA. Great to see the culture sharing! Thank you!

Tom, your work on this subject is great and becoming more and more important. What do you think about GFI circuit breakers for EV charging safety? Ever see a fire due to damaged or worn charge cords?
My Tesla “mobile charger” is used for all of my ModelY charging when I’m not on trips. Wall outlet is the “industrial grade” EV style fed through a Siemens QFT 250A GFI 50A breaker. Short run of 6ga CU stranded wires in metal conduit from service panel to metal outlet box. Been using for a year and no issues. The mobile charger rums at 32 amps which is fine for my needs. After watching a few of your rescue videos, I just did a visual check and everything in the panel and the box looks like new.
Thanks for all your good advice!

Yep. Another NEMA nightmare.

@TimWhelan20 @ray4tesla Probably FL with palm trees and Sarasota Ave street sign. U turns allowed at most intersections like this. Of course right turn has right of way, but humans not astrustworthy as FSD.
English

@ray4tesla Curious if the u-turn was legal? Guessing yes. I don't believe we allow u-turn's like that in WA unless specifically marked.

Still inconsistent handling at our gated community entrance and exits. Sometimes turns away from planned route when gate and barrier arm are closed. Needs to understand bar code reader and mag loop sensor functions. Should be able to set rules like “this car has an entry barcode on the right rear window, so pull up to the gate at this location in the right hand lane.” Also, “pull up close tonthe gate and wait for sensor loop to open gate”
English

What is FSD still doing that is annoying you? Or is every drive perfect while you relax in the driver seat "supervising"?

@MikeBenzCyber Your interview with Tucker was mind-bending. Thank you. The one thing I can't figure out: How is it that all the thousands of people in the Blob somehow all get on the same page so fast. Where do the memos get sent down from? Where's the starchamber?

@TatsunokoCroi @ghostyfreak @ElieMesso @XFreeze @grok Superheavy is not designed to ever go horizontal because it doesn’t need to (except in orbit). They will fly where theyneed to be. Bigger diameter would only be needed for more engines which will not be needed for quite aome time if ever.
English

@PMagadanz @ghostyfreak @ElieMesso @XFreeze @grok S-I, admittedly not the size of SuperHeavy (but not a small rocket) was transported from Alabama to Florida by 2 barges. All of them.
One was called "Poseidon" and the other "Pearl River".

English

SpaceX’s Starship is already one of the biggest flying objects ever built and it’s still getting bigger
• With Starship 4, total size could grow ~10–20%
• Raptor thrust jumps ~20%, nearing 9,000 tons at sea level
• Enough to send 200+ tons to useful orbit
• Fully & rapidly reusable - no expendable rockets
And then comes the rapid scale-up
“With 50 Starships flying every 3 days on average, that’s over a megaton of payload to orbit every year - enough to start building a self-sustaining city on Mars” - Elon Musk

English

@TatsunokoCroi @ghostyfreak @ElieMesso @XFreeze @grok Starship will never be shipped significant distance by truck or ship. They are made near launch pads forna reason. They will
fly to reposition sites. Booster diameter will be nased on engine count.
English

@ghostyfreak @ElieMesso @XFreeze @grok This might be limited by shipping constraits, like 2 of them on a barge together fitting through the Panama Canal, or something. (In case you ever needed one on the west coast or something)
Sort of like how falcon 9 looks so skinny becuase a truck needs to transport it.

English

@BowesChay He’s talking about the “the close proximity, several hundred feet away” from the craft that he is in. Not about the geography. Watch the video.

@MarioNawfal I wish they could let us know earlier... I miss being able to watch. It's so interesting 🤔

🚨🇺🇸 ANOTHER CLEAN RETURN FOR SPACEX AS FALCON HAS A FLAWLESS TOUCHDOWN
SpaceX nailed it again.
Falcon 9 booster successfully touched down at Landing Zone 4 moments ago after launching [payload/mission details if known, otherwise: its latest mission from Cape Canaveral.
The booster, fresh off the pad, executed a textbook return to LZ 4 on Florida's Space Coast, legs deployed, engines relit, and a perfect vertical touchdown.
This marks yet another precise landing for the reusable rocket program that's redefined spaceflight.
With boosters now routinely flying multiple missions, SpaceX continues to drive down launch costs and push rapid reusability closer to reality.
Falcon 9 landing at LZ-4 is the kind of routine that used to be impossible.
Now it's just a Friday.
Yet it still gets me every time.

@JohnZelvi @MarioNawfal Quoting Grok: “- This event marks SpaceX's 553rd successful booster landing out of 566 attempts as of early 2026, building on a 2025 record of 165 Falcon 9 missions that demonstrated boosters flying up to 32 times each.”
So it’s proven tech!
English

@MarioNawfal Looks great, real test: can it keep doing this over and over? Free market demands proof, and the market will decide.
English

@MarioNawfal This landing is at LZ4 in California. Not a Starlink Launch. Payload was Italian Earth observation satellite going to sun synchronous orbit.

@TheCaptainEli @elonmusk They are building pyramids that look like they have eroded for 10,000 years! Truly had future vision! 😂

@RyanRozbiani AA web site does not mention this event happening today or recently.
