@LogiDude @BocasBrain Agreed. They move fast. This is in anticipation for all of their data center launches to sun-synchronous orbit. This will eventually be where most of their launches are from.

@BocasBrain Orbiting data centers need to have sunlight all the time, and a sun-synchronous orbit can do it (or nearly do it). This is around a 98 degree inclination. Starbase and Cape Canaveral are not suitable. Vandenburg is suitable but may not be enough. This site is perfect.

@iliketeslas Potholes.

Highly suggest Tesla just assume the reason we disengage is navigation. There is no other reason why to disengage

@tomwarren Both can be true.

I see a lot of people saying the new Xbox logo looks like Apple’s Liquid Glass. Did y’all forget about the original Xbox dashboard 😉

@a_meta4 @teslayoda There will always be demand for families with children that require car seats or booster seats. However, I agree that the market for ownership will dramatically shrink to perhaps 1/4th of what it is today.

@teslayoda Strongly agree. Also HW3 sandbag is clear the more I think about it.. he wants HW3 owners to upgrade.. before robotaxi kills car sales.

Elon is sandbagging. Tesla is on the verge of launching the world’s first physical AI product at scale. The real-world AI version of the “ChatGPT moment” is coming— it’s called FSD Unsupervised.

@a_meta4 @wholemars From Elon's comments during the earnings call, I surmise they will upgrade every AI3 vehicle they come across to AI4, if for nothing else than to add it to the RoboTaxi fleet. The incremental costs will pay for itself.

@wholemars Or is it more expensive to have dedicated customers hold onto HW3 vs use a discount and buy a new car ;)

@yingzhangphoto Looks like they have 3d printed parts, cast parts, stamped parts, and CNC machined parts all welded together. I like that they aren't married to any single process and will choose whatever method will get them what they need balanced against cost, throughput, and reliability.

Sneak peek at Raptor V3 through the holes in the transport stand — looks like a masterpiece displayed in a glass case. Absolute engineering marvel. 🫡 📷APR 17th, during booster 19 transport.

@AgingAnarchist Maybe they meant North Korea for 'more evil-doers', but forgot it was a peninsula.

アメリカ人から見た世界って今もこれ？

The moon is tidally locked to the earth. I think the easiest way to think of it is this: The mass of the moon is not uniformly distributed. Think of weighted dice. When rolled, it will land with its weighted side down. In space, to the moon, down is towards the Earth. The moon did have spin when it was formed, but the pull of the Earth brought it into alignment over a relatively short 1000 years. youtube.com/watch?v=6jUpX7… grokipedia.com/page/Tidal_loc…

@DxrHKkZvP4CfV9Y @TheKevinDalton Not sure if being sarcastic or not, but that is absolutely not the case. A lot of people are going to lose their jobs. This will have many negative consequences. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parable_o…

@TheKevinDalton This is great. He just created more jobs for demolition crews, builders, toilet paper manufacturers. This is almost as good as war for our economy. If we just burn everything down we can have better GDP numbers than China.

“All you had to do was pay us enough to live” - angry employee turned arsonist, as he lights 1,2 million square foot toilet paper facility on fire

@teslayoda How else are they getting around all the patents?

What I’m afraid of

@ikazombie The astrophage aren’t powered up from nothing. They had to blanket the Sahara with solar collectors to breed and charge astrophage. Net energy to earth is still reduced.

プロジェクト・ヘイル・メアリーの原作読んでて今さら気づいたけど、アストロファージ20マイクログラムで1トンの金属溶かせる熱が作れるなら、大量培養したアストロファージから熱と光を捻出するプラントを作れば太陽の出力が落ちても気温も食物生産もなんとかなるのでは（異常気象は避けられないが）

@vyaspnk @SawyerMerritt @Tesla You can see their total sales from all vehicles including ICE and hybrid. GM is down 9.7% YoY for Q1. I don't think this is about bashing GM, but putting Tesla's (modest) gains for Q1 in perspective.

@SawyerMerritt Comparing to EVs again? @Tesla always wanted us to compare Tesla car sales, accolades or advancements with not just EVs but all cars. Now we are going back to comparing with EVs? If @Tesla did a normal truck like R2 I would not be having this conversation.

NEWS: GM sold 25,851 EVs in the US in Q1 2026, -19% YoY. • Equinox EV: 9,589 (-7% YoY) • Lyriq: 3,370 (-22% YoY) • Optiq: 2,847 (+65% YoY) • Vistiq: 1,902 • Hummer EV: 1,653 (-52% YoY) • Escalade IQ: 1,443(-27% YoY) • Silverado EV: 1,406 (-41% YoY) • Sierra EV: 1,288 (+3% YoY) • Blazer EV: 1,077 (-83% YoY) • Bolt EV: 791 • BrightDrop Van: 496 (+81% YoY)

@mo0Nl1t___ It is worse in the book. Grace has to carry him and burns his whole arm very badly in the process. He has to take pain killers afterwards which leads to some funny conversations about humans being stupid when without sleep and on pain killers.

@ReTristanHill @fccfilingalerts Agreed. You should apply for the orbit you are intending to use and use the orbit for which you have been issued a license.

@danroliver @fccfilingalerts Then they should have applied for that orbit.

🚨🚨 $AMZN Amazon - FCC Docket SAT-MOD-20211207-00186 SpaceX, through David Goldman, alleges that Amazon is violating its approved orbital debris mitigation plan and license conditions. Amazon is accused of dispensing satellites at higher altitudes (50-90 km) than authorized, without adequate coordination or information sharing. SpaceX claims this negligence increases collision risk and that Amazon and Arianespace can adjust launch plans to comply with authorization. The letter asserts Amazon represented its satellites would be inserted near 400 km but launched into orbits above 450 km without approval. SpaceX states Amazon's actions altered the collision risk profile and imposed risk on other operators, and asks Amazon to comply with its authorization to prevent irreparable harm. 🔗 fccalerts.com/api/pdf/9f132d…

@eIeven For someone who was previously concerned it was a bomb, that was rather reckless of him. Funny, though.

@UnpluggedTesla NGL, looks sick. Still no steering wheel, so I presume it just rockets you through the course on optimal racing lines at maximum acceleration? 😉

@ct_girlie Probably after he crawled back in and re-sealed it with xenonite glue, the life support systems he had previously installed restored his atmosphere.

one of the only book to movie changes i'm still having trouble with is how the heck did rocky stabilize his atmosphere after breaking through the glass

@combatmedic @EruseaRise "That test wouldn't qualify as an experiment in Japan..." That just proves that we are correct: Japan is a nation of people that have high standards and adhere to them, even when no one is looking. More than that, your people relentlessly pursue perfection in all that you do.

@EruseaRise そのテストは、日本では実験にならないでしょう。 元の場所に戻さない人間を探す方が難しいからです。 でも、残念ながら、極少数のだらしが無い人は存在します。恥ずかしい話ですが。その事が、しばしば、多くの日本人を憂鬱にさせるのです。

「日本人は、例えそれが難しい場面でも、常に正しいことをする」 なんとも照れくさくて火が出そうになるな。私から見たら、君達アメリカこそが、その言葉に相応しいと思うのだが。 期待に応えられる様に頑張りたいものだね。

@pixie10ole @TiffanyxFong It is tough before it is cooked. Brisket is a cheap, tough cut of meat, but after is is slow cooked, the collagen converts to gelatin and the fat renders; it becomes tender and delicious.

@TiffanyxFong すごい！最初のほうは「アメリカの肉って固そうだな」と見てたけど最後に手でほろほろにちぎってるのを見て柔らかいのが伝わった。ぜひ食べたい！

I’m posting this for Japan.
