I'm mostly on X to follow rocket and space developments. From time to time, I also comment on other things

25 years down... forever to go ♥️
Grateful for the past and excited for the future 🙏🏻

oh yeah, 9600, and then 15.6!
Being old does have it's advantages. I actually watched (on TV of course) Neil Armstrong walk on the moon!
I also saw the Apollo 17 rocket on the pad. I used to have a picture, but I threw it out for some dumb reason.
We live in such an amazing time!

@SpaceXobsessed Got me beat! Yeah, I've heard of those, but never connected to one. That was a few years before I actually got access. I started dialing in with a 9600 modem. Blistering speeds! 🤣

Age verification: I've done all of them.
How many have you done? 😅

In the 80’s, before the World Wide Web, there were Bulletin Board Systems. People would host these on a desktop computer in their home and other people would dial into them from their computer. It was mostly for getting shareware software, but you could also post messages. It sounds kind of awful thinking about it now, but back then it was pretty great. I remember upgrading my 1200 baud modem to a 2400 baud modem and being blown away by the speed!

@SpaceXobsessed Acoustic coupler: YES! :D
BBS: Don't know what that is?

@mikepat711 @Teslarati Model Y estimated range is 324 for RWD. How much can I expect in real life on a 12 hour trip? Here’s the thing, at 300 miles, I’m going about 3 hours between stops, which is probably further than my bladder will allow 😂
English
@Teslarati I legitimately don’t care about either at all lol. Whatever they want. I’m chillin at current speeds and 300mi range
English
Would you rather have:
Faster Charging ⚡️ 🔌
OR
Longer Range 🔋 🚗
TESLARATI@Teslarati
I didn’t think this would stimulate as much conversation as it did. Most people are okay with waiting 10-15 minutes for 10-20% charge because it gives them a chance to grab food, use the bathroom, etc. Does Supercharging need to be as fast as pumping gas?

Trump just posted this video of the White House! 🇺🇸

@TechOperator @wholemars There’s an incredible amount of idiots out there.
English
@wholemars That's a tall order because I'm sure there are a lot of idiot drivers out there!
English
Tesla Self-Driving needs to be not just safe, but idiot proof.

@TechOperator There’s supposed to be a lot opportunity leveraging AI. Building applications and services. Just need ideas, but you can use AI chat to help you brainstorm ideas.

Day 4: I am free. And while there’s some uncertainty, I know it’s going to be OK.
TechOperator@TechOperator
Going on day 3. Yesterday, I let my team know I was available if they wanted to talk. Leader changes can be difficult. I’ll be honest about my departure and encourage them to work toward financial independence. Financial independence provides an exit ramp, and if you choose to stay, you will never be freer to speak your mind.

@BoosterTribe @bluemoondance74 @elonmusk Is it just me or do block 3 boosters look better than block 2?

AI5 will punch far above its weight, because the entire Tesla AI software stack is designed to make maximally effective use of every circuit. We co-signed our AI software and hardware.
Bear in mind that AI5, while it can be used for training in data centers, is primarily optimized for AI edge compute in Optimus and Robotaxi.
There is still significant room for improvement. In the same half reticle and same process node, we think a single AI6 chip has the potential to match a dual SoC AI5.
English
Tesla’s forthcoming AI5 uses a half-reticle design, which is crucial for yield. A reticle defines the imaging area of a lithography machine, fitting two chips per shot effectively doubles yield.
This means the Tesla chip design team had to carefully manage die features, for instance dropping the older ISP (and classic GPU) to make room for more AI cores.
By contrast, NVIDIA’s Blackwell fills nearly a full reticle, making it a single-reticle design.
If Tesla hits its compute and efficiency targets with AI5 in this half-reticle format, it’s almost like cutting fab requirements in half.
And this has a big impact on Terafab, especially if it carries forward for AI6, AI7, etc.

Terafab may be the most essential vertical integration Tesla has ever undertaken— and it is truly non-optional. It will take years to build and will test even Elon’s speedrunning abilities to the limit, but that won’t stop him from trying. The breakthrough likely lies in overhauling the overall facility’s cleanroom model. By moving wafers in sealed pods with localized micro-environments, the fab no longer needs a monolithic ultra-clean space. Elon’s line about “eating cheeseburgers and smoking cigars” on the fab floor isn’t silly, it’s the practical reality of a radically simpler, cheaper, faster approach that could finally change the economics of chipmaking. This is all forced by the brutal “pinch” in chip supply. Tesla must produce on the order of 100–200 billion AI chips per year just to saturate its roadmap. That volume powers: FSD cars & Robotaxis (tens of millions of vehicles needing AI5 inference for near-perfect autonomy), Physical Optimus (scaling from thousands today to millions per year, each requiring AI5/AI6-level compute), Digital Optimus (the new xAI-Tesla software agents for digital/office automation, running massive inference clusters), Space-based data centers (AI7/Dojo3 orbital compute for GW-scale training and inference beyond Earth limits). AI5 delivers the ~10× leap for vehicles and early robots; AI6 shifts focus to Optimus + terrestrial DCs; AI7 goes orbital. No external foundry (TSMC, Samsung, etc.) can deliver that scale or timeline— hence the Terafab launch. Without it, the entire robotics + autonomy future hits a brick wall. Terafab isn’t optional; it’s the only way forward.

@EYakoby Irans current leadership only has a week or 2 left. It’s all over by April
English
BREAKING: Iran’s President Pezeshkian is weighing resignation.
He told aides: “The IRGC blocks me from all military and strategic decisions and won’t even let me speak to the Supreme Leader. I feel useless.”
The regime is falling apart.

@XFreeze It would be nice to be able to connect an Openclaw agent to Grok using Oauth

Tesla FSD is nothing short of magic. Just rented a Cybertruck, picked it up at the airport and it drove us directly to the Airbnb. None of the stress of a new city, new roads, new car. Had it for 5 days and never drove myself. It drove perfectly. So easy and liberating

@data_republican We need to remember who had our backs AND who didn’t. Those who didn’t should be out next election

I'll have so much more respect for every senator that fights for the Save America Act during the talking filibuster. Pray for the leaders that are willing to do this. I looked it up, and the process sounds grueling. We can win this!
English
@wholemars @jtesla47 What if you could allow xAI to use your AI4 processor in exchange for FSD ?

Tesla NEEDS to do a free version of FSD
Delivering cars with just TACC is a fucked up situation
Please Tesla, this will supercharge adoption. It’s not for me, i’m a paid FSD user. But we need to hook the users who don’t want to or can’t pay.
English
@OregonTeslaLife I’m also hoping that Tesla will offer more incentives towards the end of the year.
English
48 mpg is solid, no doubt. But Tesla cuts fuel completely and adds FSD so you’re saving money and getting a smarter driving experience.
JustOnlyJohn@SpaceXobsessed
@OregonTeslaLife Actually it's the FSD that I am interested in. This would replace a Toyota Prius that get's 48 mpg

Fuel prices keep going up… but some people already solved that problem ⚡️
Imagine never worrying about fuel queues or price hikes again. That’s what driving a Tesla feels like.
Save money daily. Drive smarter.
Thinking long-term or just tired of fuel stress? Let’s talk.
JustOnlyJohn@SpaceXobsessed
@TechOperator I’m getting closer to buying my first. More than likely it will be during the 3rd or 4th quarter when they offer the best incentives.
