@WhiteMillions The Lucid Air is a luxury marvel. It had nothing to do with S ending. The S was a stepping stone for Tesla. Now it's in the past. I love the Lucid, but wish it looked as good as the S. I wish the S were as luxurious as the Air.

Tesla confirms: S/X production is over I guess Lucid killed the Tesla Model S 🪦 The Lucid Air is a better car anyways.

Tristan Cornely 𓄀@WhiteMillions

🚨 Lucid is now outselling Tesla in the US In Q3 2024, Tesla Model S sales dropped 46.7% YOY Meanwhile, Lucid Air sales are up 33.4% Q3 2024 sales: Tesla Model S - 1,669 Lucid Air - 1,944 The Air is overall just a better car, period.

@RustyPrince @LiebermanAustin I'll add, you can always add a hitch receiver cargo platform to the X if you need a bit more luggage space. We haven't had to yet on road trips, but it's an option.

@LiebermanAustin We love our model X but with 5 young kids there is probably no better vehicle than the Honda odyssey , or Mercedes sprinter van

Thinking of swapping our Honda Odyssey for a Tesla Model X We have 5 kids (3 car seats and a 10yr old + 8 year old) Is it possible?

@RustyPrince @LiebermanAustin Same here. We LOVE our X, but we have 4 kids. In the 7 seater we can fold 1/2 of the 3rd row for extra cargo. The X fits more than you think with the trunk and sub frunk, but it's no match for a minivan on total capacity. It's way more fun and efficient though!

@LDS_Liberty @Normonism @elonmusk @NASA Setting up a lunar orbiting comms network is on the to do list as we establish a presence on the moon. We don’t really need it yet. They’ll be okay.

LDS_Liberty@LDS_Liberty·20h

@Normonism @elonmusk @NASA Yes. Unfortunately we haven’t set up any relay like China did in 2024. Somewhat wild IMO

If you went to elementary school in the 80s, you are too traumatized to watch hyped-up rocket launches. I know I am.

@thunderf00t Acknowledging the objective fact that the coverage was really poor has nothing to do with being a fan of NASA or SpaceX. I happen to love both organizations.

artemis 2 launches successfully..... musk fans 'but the footage was no where near as good as the starship footage' You can feel the cope at watching it actually work after watching the first 11 starships blow up.

@Tazerface16 @jeffkelehernb They have already made two controlled water landings from a sub orbital trajectory. They will deorbit using the same method of controlled engine burns.

@jeffkelehernb Velocity means nothing. Control is everything. How would they have deorbited it, kiddo?

I'm an aerospace engineer. I made this prediction over five years ago, and I'm still correct. I'm not interested in non-engineers trying to explain to me how I'm wrong somehow. Elon Musk is not an engineer.

Christopher David@Tazerface16

By the way, Starship will never make it into orbit.

@messann7 @Tazerface16 Do you have evidence he lied about this? As evidence he wasn’t lying, I present every public appearance and personal interaction musk has given.

@Tazerface16 Do not forget that he lied about being autistic to attract sympathies. He has always been a conman from the ge tgo

@mattbnelson @AmazingSpace2 At the very worst it's a mistake. Why so abusive?

mattbnelson@mattbnelson·1d

@ErnestCalFab Your comparison pictures don’t quite convey how bad NASA’s broadcast really was. Loosing the rocket on frame, long blank-outs, on-screen telemetry that looks like computer code, no cabin view, 4 seconds of on-vehicle video, missing events like clearing the tower and separation.

ERNEST CF@ErnestCalFab·1d

Everyday Astronaut (arriba) VS Director oficial de la NASA (abajo). Que un youtuber sea capaz de darnos mejores imágenes que la agencia espacial más importante del mundo no tiene ningún sentido. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Custom orders of the Tesla Model S & X have come to an end. All that’s left are some in inventory. We will have an official ceremony to mark the ending of an era. I love those cars. This was me at production launch 14 years ago:

@larryjones @Arkypatriot Please don’t fall for the nonsense. Every denier displays a gross ignorance of science in their attempted explanations. Doubting it makes people feel special - like they’re smarter than the majority. They don’t realize how “special” it really makes them. I respect you to get it.

@Manhattva @NASAArtemis NASA’s showmanship leaves something to be desired. The computer graphic visualizations like like late ‘80s computer tech. The on-screen telemetry looks like computer code. They gave us about 4 seconds total of on-vehicle live video. SpaceX makes NASA look like amateurs. Sad.

Congratulations to @NASAArtemis I still don’t think we should’ve given a Canadian a seat though. The moon belongs to America.
