@davidsenra I have such immense respect for builders, those who make great products. It’s super hard to manufacture anything.

@arizvi0 WiFi at SFO is insane. Last time I was there, I was pulling 500 symmetric

SFO might be the best airport in the history of human existence
- lightning fast TSA
- literal museums all over the airport
- yoga room
- faster WiFi than your office

@davidsenra @elonmusk Is there some platform that lets you do these give aways easily?
English
I bought 1,000 copies of this book to give away. Highly recommend reading “The Book of Elon: @elonmusk’s Most Useful Ideas in His Own Words.”

The only book an entrepreneur needs.

@yashmehta0307 @davidsenra @tryramp I put a random address in Toronto and shipping shows $11.99 USD (~$16.51 CAD)
English
@davidsenra @tryramp I used my Canadian address and it says 25CAD for payment. Is it so?
Can I get one?
English
@AkshayiWeb @davidsenra @elonmusk Unfortunately, it’s not cheap to ship internationally, and these are being fulfilled from one warehouse in the US. It’s probably cheaper to get it on Amazon or through a local retailer.
English
English
@AkshayiWeb @davidsenra @elonmusk Yes, it’s available worldwide. If you can check out, that means copies are still available.
English
@davidsenra @elonmusk Am in the first 1000, you will also ship to India?
English
@Mavericstar @davidsenra @elonmusk It shouldn’t be. I threw in a random address in Mumbai and it shows $11.90 USD for shipping
English
Free copies for the first 1,000 people and we're shipping worldwide

A players attract A players:
"Somebody I know went to work for SpaceX and said, 'It's like being dropped into a zone of shocking competence.'
The best engineers in the world want to work for him because he's the one CEO who's able to work with them as a peer on whatever the technology is.
What would be better as an engineer than being able to design a rocket engine with Elon Musk as your engineering partner?"

@jasonfried @Tesla Same experience when selling your car to a dealer.
Dealer: “What will it take to make this happen?”
Tell them your price.
Dealer: “We can’t make that happen.”
Then non-stop texts from multiple different numbers begging to buy the car.
None of it makes sense.
English
The last car we bought was a @Tesla Model Y. Painless purchase process. No salespeople, no showroom, no upsells, no games, no haggling, no pressure. Just a personal choice on my own time, and a simple few-minute process handled entirely via a clear and straightforward app.
The next car we're buying is from another brand. And holy hell, it feels like I'm going back in time. Salespeople, back-and-forth charades, pricing games, "when can you come in?" before the deal is finalized tactics, etc. And I'm still doing it all via email so I don't have to deal with the showroom antics. I've modernized the process as much as I can from my side, and yet it's the same old same old.
They don't even feel like the same thing. In one case I'm buying a car with all the baggage that comes with buying a car. In the other case I'm buying a Tesla with none of the baggage of buying a car.
This experience could make me lament this other brand, but what it really does is make me appreciate and respect the lengths to which Tesla has fully reconfigured the car buying experience. It's become effortless, like buying any other product. As it should be. A car is just another product.
Bravo.

Spent the last couple of days exploring the California coastline via moto with my dude @ianmackey!
One of my favorite parts of this trip was seeing the Huberman Lab studio in person. Insanely well designed space and super fun to see IRL for the first time ⚡️

@hutchins Ran the math too. USAA still comes out ahead and I’ve always had a great experience.
English
I hope we see more carries do this, because 50% of Lemonades price is still 368% more than my policy from USAA haha
Sheel Mohnot@pitdesi
smart move, we will see more of this Lemonade is cutting insurance cost by 50% for customers using Tesla FSD on pay-per-mile insurance reuters.com/business/autos…

@Keshav_Lohiaaa Looks awesome and love the greenery. Although, T1 at SFO is still my favorite.
English
Bangalore t2 is the best airport in the world!!
But amusing how american chefs and restaurant chains use it for their first Indian outlet.
Wolfgang puck opened his 1st outlet at the airport! The vibes are unbeatable - even restroom walls lined tastefully w old airindia posters

@MKBHD @WindBorneWx I’m still waiting for a consumer weather app…
English
Here, I've made a handy venn diagram to understand phone weather apps 😅
If you're using Google or Apple default weather - it'll be gorgeous, but unfortunately it's not even close to accurate
The big ones, like Weather Channel and Accuweather have such ugly apps... but at least the data is actually good
Carrot weather on iOS might be the only actually good one right now? RIP to Dark Sky, the original king

Just finished setting up our first launch site in New Zealand! So excited to see all the great southern hemisphere data our balloons will start collecting! 🇳🇿
