@OverlyTrev @itskyleconner love how everyone forgets 30 min to 80% 2mw megachargers promised in 2017

Ummm Megacharger would indicate at least 1MW
….750kW 🤔 ☹️

@__tinygrad__ we have some work do to bring polysilicon refinement, wafer manufacturing, making dopants, photoresists, cell fabrication and all associated tooling, and final assembly on us soil then we have something.

@skibriirb7 @CyberMikeOG I am sure some things like the seat covers, foam, core structure, etc are purchased from suppliers but give tesla some credit, many autos outsource the full seat assembly to tier 1's

@CyberMikeOG Interesting (and a lie) because you can just look at used Tesla parts on eBay as see the mfgr. labels. They have outsourced from Preh, Adient, Faurecia,
IGB (Lear) and others, just like everyone else. Many parts are made in Mexico, just like everyone else.

The only reason I have a @Starlink mini is for in flight internet. The roam plan being limited to 100mph now is total garbage. Now they want av use to pay $250 for 20 gigs. The enshitification of starlink has begun. It’s squeezing a extraordinarily small minority of customers.

@XueJia24682 This is very doable we have had 6.5c charge rates in some Chinese drone batteries. for years with field proven 1000+ cycle lifespan. dl.djicdn.com/downloads/t50_…

Another day, another autonomous drive on a random route around Mountain View, California. From quiet residential areas to busy main streets, our universal autonomy platform can handle all roads and all rides.

BIG 2026 PREDICTION: EDGE COMPUTING
I went deep into the rabbit hole with OpenClaw and setting it up for my personal uses like finance, and health. It costed me nearly $200 for over 2 weeks use. The $80 claude max ran out in a few days, and tokens from openai ran out fast. I figured that xai has the lowest cost by 10x to 15x factor. That's when I digged into a bit more with local model. With my 12GB VRAM RTX, I could run a decent model suprisingly with newer backend like vllm serving openai compatible apis.
I ordered by first Nvidia blackwell gb10 128MB VRAM to do more computation. At the pace I'm using with more frequent updates, the only economical way is local inference. Anyways my whole experience convinced me that in 2026 there will be a big shift into edge computing. Openclaw community have been buying up M3 Ultra 128GB $3500 all the way up to 512GB $10K unified RAM (eg it talks directly to the CPU). Apple is selling them like hotcakes. On the nonmac, Nvidia has been licensing to HP, Asus, and Dell. AMD also has a solution with 395+ CPU, and Intel will soon have one.
Mark my words, every company will want their own rack server, and every developer will have their own local inference computer. The price reminds me of the the same cost of my first computer 33Mhz 4GB RAM computer. As cost decreases, it will be more accessible for each person. This will be a new growth segment for $APPL $NVDA and $DELL. All have shared very bullish guidances so far.

@niccruzpatane looks like Waymo and Hyundai are doing some real colab here, the rear cams are in the roof garnish. stuff like this means they are built on a special line just for waymo making the unit econ much better then the ipace

@AnthropicAI So if the dod asked lockheed to build a f35c that can backflip in a hover do we all get mad if they say no.
