I’ve talked a few times about how strongly I support solar canopies/carports, but thought I would explain my reasoning and justification for it. Other than providing covered parking, it can also offset average driving in the US. (1/4)

Got access to @Waymo today. It was just ok. It felt very futuristic, but they have a lot of work to do. - took a speed bump too fast - subpar way of getting out of no outlet area. Didn’t get stuck though. - “Something went wrong” on requesting a ride back, so I had to walk.

@Motor1com I know the “S” and “X” keys are so close together… Especially knowing those Falcon wing doors exist… And being used for crew transport at SpaceX

@TheZacher I think the no plates will be the in-service robotaxis. In Texas, they use regular plates and not mfr plates.

Update on the parking lot full of Model Y’s in the suburbs of Las Vegas. I went back today — lot is emptied by about half. The Model Y’s remaining that I saw had the camera washer which is supposedly only for Robotaxi. Also the vehicles had either Texas manufacturer plates or no plates. I think Tesla is getting for Robotaxi in Las Vegas!

@DeanSheikh1 - I drive by a Supercharger at least once a week. Just to admire the cars. And I’ve been keeping up with the current construction of 3 in my local area. - Digital Optimus won’t exist for another 6+ months. And until it crosses the finish line- it doesn’t exist.

@JonBryant421 @wholemars 🤷🏻‍♂️ Well I’m not the investing person. So I barely understand those. My primary case as a customer is what I believe is a great product. And I see a variety of entities use the product.

@ajpri1998 @wholemars $8 biiion in EBITDA. That is not profit. That's been reported as $1-$2b but based on likely questionable depreciation.

@JonBryant421 @wholemars reuters.com/business/finan… According to Reuters, the company is profitable. Although if I had to guess most of the revenue comes from business (planes, cruise ships). As far as competition goes, Starlink has a healthy lead for now. Closest competitor will be Amazon Leo.

@ajpri1998 @wholemars I doubt Starlink is profitable give that the satellites have an avg 5 year life. EM has said his goal is jsut to stay in business. Not very valuable in any case. Especially as they get more competition. Low mgn, capital intensive equals low multiples.

@JonBryant421 @wholemars I think Starlink is profitable. But I know a lot of the funds are going to being invested back into growth and of course building Starship. If I remember correctly. SpX rev beats nasa budget Success is never guaranteed. But being ambitious is a step for getting closer to success

@ajpri1998 @wholemars So they have done some things well and failed at some things. Probably none of those wins will be cash flow positive this year. If so Starlink just barely and it probably won't be truly profitable. So don't project a high probability of success & high returns from new ventures.

@wholemars @JonBryant421 Nor did they have experience building EVs in general They definitely didn’t have any experience launching rockets, but now SpaceX launches the most mass And I’m pretty sure they didn’t have any experience building an ISP. But Starlink is doing amazing

@JonBryant421 They definitely didn’t have any experience building battery cells before battery day, but now they produce a lot of them.

Do you remember when you joined X? I do! #MyXAnniversary 15 years… wow! And I’ve seen this platform evolve from 140 characters/texting 40404 to today being much different with Grok, community notes, and more. Been great to keep up with what’s going on in the world.

@mil0theminer For me, it’s about seeing the structural limits. Especially with the iPhone Air, which I had a lot of concerns when it was first released.

@DavidMoss @scotsrule08 Is it ok to say all 3 for different reasons? - Waymo is consumer cars + more - so it turns heads so people recognize as being autonomous - zoox is a crazy design I feel is good for urban - CyberCab is best design and blends in as “normal” car
