Want to Know what is really happening with Elon Musk's companies today? Here you go! 15th of January, 2024 ■ TESLA $TSLA (HOLIDAY): - Yesterday, Giga Berlin held their information event for the citizens of Grünheide. The event was to inform the public about the future expansion plans. A vote will be held on the new expansion plan in one month, starting next week. Lots of pics in the thread. Pic by Tobias Lindh. - Panasonic says a new and improved version of the 2170 batteries will be produced at a plant in Nevada. They plan to partner with Tesla “sometime during 2024 or 2025” to supply the Tesla Model 3 and Y. - There are reports that Tesla is contemplating sourcing batteries for Megapacks from Samsung SDI Co Ltd. Tesla has not confirmed this. - User Ray4Tesla posted there was a rumor that a Cybertruck would show up in a Tesla China store for a display. Per Elon, “Getting Cybertruck road legal in China would be very difficult, but we could ship some prototypes over for display.” - Tesla ranked second in the J.D. Power 2024 U.S. Manufacturer Website Evaluation Study. Study based on 12,000 respondents evaluating information, content, appeal, navigation, and speed. - Elon says new compensation package from Tesla with higher target goals "would be nice." FLYOVERS: Giga Berlin: The Wolfpack; Robert and Andreas, 14th of January, ’24. Two great videos of Phase 1 and 2. Giga Mexico: Adrean (@AdreanCG), 13th of January, ’24. Little to no movement since the slight highway work. Some patching of the road surface can be seen. Beautiful views of the land and surrounding areas. Giga Texas: Brad Sloan, 13th of January, ’24. Model Y and Cybertruck doing figure eights on the helipad. Lots of asphalt work near the End of Line on the westside. More prep work on the Boring tunnel area. ■ SPACEX: - Elon gave the SpaceX Company Talk on Friday. SpaceX completed 96 missions, flew 12 astronauts to orbit, launched two Starship, and more than doubled the number of people around the world connected by Starlink. Of note, during IFT-2 I said Starship had a LOX leak and that I was pretty sure that caused the explosion. Well, yes and no. It wasn’t a leak. They released it on purpose. The explosion was not on purpose. - Gwynne Shotwell posted again. Hopefully she will continue to use X. She spoke on Elon and his drive for the past 22 years and the passion of SpaceX employees for the mission. Per Gwynne, “I could not be more proud of what they’ve accomplished, and we are truly just getting started.” - Launch 4 took place in the early hours yesterday. Falcon 9 Starlink 7-10 launched from Space Launch Complex 4E (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Space Force Base, California. This was the 18th flight for the first stage booster. It previously launched Crew-1, Crew-2, SXM-8, CRS-23, IXPE, Transporter-4, Transporter-5, Globalstar FM15, ISI EROS C-3, Korea 425, and seven Starlink missions. The booster landed on droneship Of Course I Still Love You in the Pacific Ocean. 22 Starlinks were deployed. - Launch 5 yesterday evening marked SpaceX’s 300th successful launch! Falcon 9 Starlink 6-37 launched from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral, Florida. This was the 12th flight for the first stage booster.

The booster will land on Landing Zone 1 (LZ-1) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. - IFT-3! Starship Integrated Flight Test 3 is targeting February. ■ THE BORING COMPANY: At TBC you got to get in the middle of things. Notice the worker poking through the middle of Prufrock. - As reported, the Vegas Loop is expected to expand near UNLV and surrounding areas, including Formula One’s Grand Prix Plaza. The University Center Loop plans call for a dual tunnel system between the Las Vegas Convention Center and land located near UNLV between University Center Drive and Paradise Road. This is where the two Prufrocks are sitting. This was confirmed by Steve Hill, president and CEO of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. - Jeff Roberts flew over Giga Texas before the freeze hit. The Boring Company Prufrock mount is in place with the decline ready. More equipment will begin to arrive and soon Prufrock-3. ■ NEURALINK: - Per DJ Seo of Neuralink on the 11th of January, “A phrase that we often say at Neuralink is “question your requirements”. Thinking is basically running sims in your head, so you want good inputs and accurate boundary conditions to avoid “garbage in, garbage out.” Yeah… That’s all I could find. ■ STARLINK: Braving a Canadian snow storm to bring a Starlink to life. Pic by Maqbool Cherattayil. - The UK’s mobile provider BT is apparently testing Starlink at its Adastral Park research Centre in Ipswich. BT’s goal is to stamp out so-called “not spots” in rural areas. - Starlink announced later this year John Deere will begin equipping new and existing machines across the United States and Brazil with Starlink to help connect farmers with high-speed internet so they can fully leverage precision agriculture technologies. Per Elon, "This will be great for farmers." - Possible delay for Starlink in India. According to the foreign investment policy set by DPIIT in 2 a foreign investor must share complete shareholding details to check if there are any investors from countries sharing a land border with India, like China. - During the SpaceX Company Talk, Elon said SpaceX will soon release a Starlink Mini small enough to fit in your backpack. This seems ideal for camping, road trips, and vacations in remote areas. I like this. ■ X: - X now has a money transmitter license for Utah. Per Elon today, “California and New York take the longest for approval.” - You will soon be able to upload both images and videos in the same post via web. Finally! ■ xAI: N/A… ■ ELON NEWS: - Elon was part of a Spaces with Democratic presidential candidate Dean Phillips. Elon on a new compensation plan. "I am uncomfortable growing Tesla to be a leader in AI & robotics without having ~25% voting control. Enough to be influential, but not so much that I can’t be overturned. Unless that is the case, I would prefer to build products outside of Tesla. You don’t seem to understand that Tesla is not one startup, but a dozen. Simply look at the delta between what Tesla does and GM. As for stock ownership itself being enough motivation, Fidelity and other own similar stakes to me. Why don’t they show up for work?" __________ More Stories, Pics, and Videos in the Thread so Repost and Spread the Good News! And if you have questions, just ask. I will do my best to answer.
