@RepThomasMassie Thank you @RepThomasMassie ! Eat more local 🥩

🔥The Farm Bill that includes my 🥩 PRIME Act pilot just passed the House! This is a game changer for farmers — and provides access to locally raised beef, pork, and lamb for consumers! We also stripped the immunity/state labeling ban for pesticides from the Farm Bill. MAHA!

@timburchett If crawfish is like the oil/gas market I might need a loan for my lunch at the shrimp dock today

I hope this doesn’t impact Scott Davis’s crawfish boil.

@WesBolingTN Go Vols - I have the Remedy WRG5s and they are the best tires I’ve ever had.

I'm excited to announce some news: My family and I are moving to Finland! I am honored to accept a global marketing position at Nokian Tyres. We'll move to Helsinki in mid-June to start our expat term. We'll miss our friends and family dearly and are eager to host visitors!

@BigJosh61 This is an elite setup

Upgraded the back porch to watch my NL leading Atlanta Braves.....

@SenMarkKelly you can both believe the flu shot is pointless for healthy adults and the smallpox vaccine saved/saves lives. That’s where politicians get it wrong, there are no nuanced takes or opinions allowed.

George Washington believed that vaccinating his troops against smallpox was the key to winning the Revolutionary War and our independence. A founding father from 250 years ago had a better understanding of science and military readiness than Pete Hegseth.

@slye Go w/ Bosch

My 15-year-old HVAC is dying! I need some advice. I want a dual-fuel hybrid setup (2-stage heat pump + 2-stage gas furnace) with 2 zones for my 3k sq ft home (3 levels) I’m considering high value budget brands (Goodman, Daikin) to keep the cost down. Any tips going this route?

@mahkus @DMC_Ryan @Michael_L_Rauch No, he can most likely sell his plaid at a markup if he gets access to one of these

@DMC_Ryan @Michael_L_Rauch regretting his recent Plaid purchase right about now

@MorePerfectUS @ajc based Delta

BREAKING: Delta is suspending its special service desk for members of Congress until TSA is fully funded, per @AJC. Delta says members of Congress will now be treated like all other flying customers.

No, that’s just the little advanced technology fab, where we will be iterating on chip designs. We couldn’t possibly fit the Terafab on the GigaTexas campus. It will be far bigger than everything else combined there. Several locations for Terafab are under consideration. It needs thousands of acres and over 10GW of power at full scale.

@WilliamShatner Time is money, I haven’t been to a gas station in years. It charges @ home.

And for the #teslarites who don’t understand 500 miles. Time is money. How long does it take to pump a tank of gas? 4-5 mins versus 30. Early last week I went up to the Yosemite area (about 300 miles.) I got up there, did my thing and got gas (5 mins) and drove back. With a Tesla. It would be drive up (maybe on one charge) charge up 20-30 mins, do my thing. Drive back, stop along the way to recharge (again probably another 20 mins…) That’s too long. 500 would be one recharge so it’s 10 mins gas versus 29-30 mins which I would consider.🤷🏼

@SullenSerf The Kim Caldwell situation is 100% on him

@itskyleconner @LucidMotors “upscale nurturers” is insane marketing speak

This morning I was able to be the first person outside of Lucid to see and sit inside the new @LucidMotors Cosmos! This is their new midsize electric SUV and no, I can’t show it to you yet. What I can say is that the design is sharp, super cool, and totally unique (especially in the rear end). A cab forward design enables a long tail for optimal aero efficiency but it still retains enough roof height for larger dogs. Lighting signatures are strong, bright, and sharp. The car I saw had a metallic red paint with a white interior, which honestly looked striking! Think younger, more modern, really cool looking small Gravity. It has an insanely large front truck, huge rear cargo space with massive underfloor storage (enabled partly by the new Atlas drive unit), and more than ample second row seating space. I’m 6’1 and my head didn’t touch the expansive glass roof that extends beyond the rear seats, it’s also super wide giving a great airy feeling. Rear floor felt slightly high but there’s still enough room to fit feet underneath the front seat to unlock your leg angle. I also spent considerable time in the front seat soaking in the view. Huge door opening with a low entry height and a ton of foot room to swing in. Materials looked beautiful in the light interior color with recycled fibers that almost felt like wool. Stitching is everywhere, glass center console cover, dark headliner… it was a high quality warm feeling environment. The A Pillar glass extends extremely far forward which enables incredible view of front blind spots. In addition there’s physical turn signal stalks & gear selector and the same / similar steering wheel out of the Gravity… which looks upside down but feels great in the hands. Oh, bottom hinged accelerator pedal!! 🙏 There’s a single pane wide screen floating above the dash that expands across the width of the car. It’s a unique view that doesn’t exist in the western world and I liked the simplicity and location. User interface should look similar to Gravity which is totally fine… if it works. No secondary screen, everything is done through that singular cross-car panel. Electrical architecture is nearly completely new with centralized compute, insanely cool central gateway mounting location on the firewall, all designed to reduce wiring length / cost / connections. ADAS will likely be using the NVIDIA system for point-to-point L2 capability and they need to get this enabled ASAP as FSD is such a huge selling point for Tesla. Also, huge targets for quick response to phone key / NFC etc… this car can’t have access control problems or major software bugs. Don’t know exact battery capacity or power output BUT I have some tidbits to share. ~800V system architecture, PM rear motor, induction front motor. Both are from insanely small Atlas drive unit family which I’ll have a full video coming on sometime in the future. Unsure how Lucid is doing 400V boosting, but they’ll be able to charge on Superchargers with no problem. NACS charge port in the rear driver corner. Charging sounds very fast which is badly needed in this segment. Body in white has some amazing trickery leveraging passageways for woofer / sub woofer air flow, crash structure designed to be easily replaceable in stages to lower insurance costs, and a mixed material compound to reduce cost. Suspension also is pretty advanced for this segment, adaptive damper, virtual ball axis on the lower control arm (fixed on upper), which should give great driver / steering feel compared to the many McPherson strut options others offer. Oh, there are some big castings on this thing but the front / rear aren’t just one giant casting. We’ll talk to Cory Steuben more about that in an upcoming podcast. Finally this should start at under $50k and feature everything EV drivers want: fast charging, pet mode, route planning, plug and charge, space, comfort, and 0-60 in 3.5 seconds.

@Clowfb @UTKnoxville hot ham ‘n cheese on rye with muenster and mustard thank me later

Impossible to think about my four years at @UTKnoxville from 1983-87 without thinking about Gus asking at 1 in the morning (maybe closer to 2), “White bread, dark bread? Mustard, mayo?”

Everyone: we want a true 7 seater electric SUV Tesla:

@carkerpox I imagine the top customer of his company is the guy who dropped out of college, runs a ketamine clinic and wants to 10x his life by paying someone $2 an hour to manage their calendar.

I have a question. Is this really the sort of brand commentary that makes customers want to work with his company?

@ClayTravis My kids will think it’s crazy we ever drive ourselves around

We’ve totally accepted the fact that around 40,000 people a year — roughly the lives we lost in Vietnam — die every year on our roads. Future generations are going to find it unbelievable that people ever died on routine trips to school or the grocery store. Huge societal improvement that mostly isn’t being talked about very much.

Bought a Tesla yesterday and I’m already blown away by how incredible the self driving function is. I’m even more convinced now that within a generation driving a car is going to be like riding a horse, something a small minority of people do for fun.

@SawyerMerritt Already installed at a few locations including 1790 Vendor Way, Lexington KY
