Those concepts look awesome!!😍😍
One of the things I love about the Tesla Semi is that its design is truly beautiful in the truest sense of “form follows function” and because it’s a commercial vehicle, all that surface area is perfect for acting like a massive visual moving billboard.🔥🔥🔥❤️

A @CocaCola Tesla Semi fleet wrapped in red would look sick.
I cooked up some images with Grok.
Teslavangelist@teslavangelist
nice, that's a lot of Tesla semis. I still want @CocaCola to get a fleet of semis
English
@HinrichsZane @SawyerMerritt @Tesla I wonder what the current backlog of orders currently is, considering there were so many orders in those early days and since then also. Now that the semi has entered production, I wonder how many “firm” orders need to be fulfilled?
English
@SawyerMerritt @Tesla Curious about the logistics of this ‘new’ order.
You can’t actually order the semi directly on tesla.com
Did Nica actually order these long time ago or was this a recent order.
I suspect the semi has the mother of all backlogs.

Nica Container Freight Line Inc has just ordered 20 new @Tesla Semi trucks, with the first trucks slated to be operating next year.
"We want to invest in advanced technology. We're excited to grow our business with these awesome new zero emission trucks" - CEO Jacky Lopez
Nica is based in Los Angeles.

@r0ck3t23 @StephenFleming This would be one area I disagree with Elon about… well actually another one I disagree with is there should have been a “normal” new roadster by now…🫠

Elon Musk just said something that deserves far more weight than it’s getting.
“How come we’ve not found any aliens? Trust me, I would know. We have not.”
That’s not a fun question about UFOs.
That might be the most unsettling thing ever said by someone who would actually know.
The universe is 13.8 billion years old. Trillions of stars. Billions of habitable worlds. Civilizations with billions of years of head starts on us.
And nothing.
No signal. No probe. No artifact. Not even wreckage.
The math says the galaxy should be so saturated with intelligent life we couldn’t miss it if we tried.
Instead, every instrument we’ve ever pointed at the sky returns the same answer.
Silence.
Fermi asked the question in 1950. Where is everybody?
Seventy-six years later, the answer hasn’t moved.
Nowhere.
Musk understands what that silence almost certainly means.
They didn’t make it.
Not one of them.
Musk: “There is a certain probability that is irreducible that something may happen to Earth. Despite our best intentions, despite everything we try to do, there’s a probability that some external force or some internal unforced error causes civilization to be destroyed.”
Irreducible.
Not a risk you engineer away. Not a threat you legislate out of existence. Not a problem that disappears with enough funding or enough time.
A certainty that only needs enough time to collect.
Asteroid. Supervolcano. Engineered pandemic. Nuclear exchange. AI alignment failure. Or something no one alive has thought of yet.
The specific threat is irrelevant. The number never reaches zero.
We treat civilization like gravity. Like a permanent condition. Like it will always be here because it’s been here for every second of every life we’ve ever lived.
The universe owes nothing to anything it built.
Every civilization that ever arose on another world probably felt the same certainty we feel now. Looked at their own sky. Assumed tomorrow was guaranteed.
They’re the silence.
Musk isn’t building toward Mars because he’s bored or chasing legacy.
He looked at the Fermi Paradox and reached the conclusion most people refuse to.
Single-planet species don’t last.
Not one. Not ever. Not across enough time.
Mars isn’t an escape plan. It’s a second copy of everything humanity has ever built, thought, felt, and remembered.
One copy of something irreplaceable isn’t a strategy.
It’s a bet that nothing goes wrong on an infinite timeline.
That’s not optimism. That’s negligence.
The silence isn’t a mystery to solve.
It’s a message we’re refusing to read.
Every dead civilization had this conversation. Their own skeptics. Their own voices saying there was no rush.
That silence is what “no rush” sounds like a billion years later.

Excited to announce that I have decided to accept an offer to join the Tesla Robotaxi team, working on creating a seamless geotargeted "get robotaxi" order logic right from your X app.
They haven't made an offer or anything,
but I've decided that if they do, I'll accept it.

In all my years following Tesla, I have never had an experience at a showroom quite like this.
For over a decade Tesla tried to get a sales and delivery center in Connecticut, but the dealer franchise laws made it impossible. State legislatures, many backed by the stealership lobby, repeatedly blocked proposals for allowing direct sales, and continue to do so today.
However, in 2023, The Mohegan Tribe reached out a hand, welcoming Tesla to their flagship Mohegan Sun casino, located on their own sovereign land, governed by their own laws, where Tesla could operate freely.
The dealerships were up in arms over it, saying Tesla was evading the law, and one politician in particular, former Connecticut State Senate Minority Leader John McKinney, even threatened the Mohegan Tribe for daring to exercise their sovereign rights, "There's a lot of things Connecticut can do to make life very uncomfortable for the sovereign tribes."
Despite the dealer lobby claims that Tesla's direct sales hurts consumers, and political threats to the sovereign rights of the tribe, I can say that three years later, the Mohegan / Tesla partnership is stronger than ever, as I got to see it in action while picking up a Cyberbeast for a 48hr demo drive.
The casino generously allows Tesla use of a massive shaded canopy for deliveries, the showroom is in a prime location between the gaming floor, hotel check-in, and shopping center, and there are ~60 Tesla destination chargers on site for guests to use.
I dropped off the Cyberbeast today, and the showroom was FLOODED with people *on a Sunday*. In the past, when I have been at a Tesla showroom during a big rush, it's common to see overwhelmed and agitated advisors (which I can totally understand).
But not this team, the employees at Tesla Mohegan Sun were nothing but welcoming, every single one had a smile on their face, and they were so full of energy as they helped guests with questions, took them on demo drives, and completed deliveries.
They represent everything that customer service should be at Tesla. Other locations need to be modeling off this team of advisors and their leadership.
Even with my demo drive they went above and beyond, detailing the truck before my arrival, charging it up, and checking in on me each day ensuring everything was going smoothly.
I am truly in awe of what I have experienced this weekend. Such a great location, great people, and a great partnership between @Tesla and @MoheganSun. A partnership that benefits consumers in a way no dealership could ever, ever, match.

Does anyone still give a “thank you” wave when someone lets you in while entering traffic? 🙋
English
@ThrillaRilla369 I could wake up… Can I go back to bed at 3:35am?😂
English
If you were offered $1 million cash, but you had to wake up at 3:30 AM every single day for the rest of your life.
Would you take it?

@JamesMelville @ValaAfshar There’s a LOT of places you can put solar panels without having to place them on valuable farmland

Solar panels on train tracks. A hell of a lot more logical than plastering over prime farmland.

Left behind in Kabul. Alone. He waited 47 days.
K-9 Chaos was not a dog who did his job. He was a dog who had DECIDED, completely, permanently, without reservation, that Lieutenant Marcus Webb was coming back for him. No matter how long it took.
At Hamid Karzai International Airport, Kabul, on the morning of August 30th, 2021, a three-year-old Belgian Malinois sat in an empty aircraft hangar. The last American plane had left six hours ago. The evacuation was over.
Chaos had been left behind.
Not intentionally. The chaos of the withdrawal. The panic. The rush. Webb had been separated from Chaos during the final evacuation. Put on a different plane. Told Chaos would be on the next flight.
There was no next flight.
Chaos survived the first day alone. Waiting at the hangar where Webb had left him.
Chaos survived the first week. Scavenging food from abandoned military supplies.
Chaos survived 47 days in Taliban-controlled Kabul. Alone. Hiding. Waiting.
Because Chaos survived on the belief that Webb wouldn't leave him forever.
Back in the United States, Webb was losing his mind. Filed reports. Called congressmen. Contacted rescue organizations. Went on the news.
"I left my dog in Afghanistan," he said on CNN, his voice breaking. "I left my brother. And I'm going to get him back."
The military said it was impossible. Kabul had fallen. Taliban controlled the airport. No way to extract a dog.
Webb didn't care about impossible.
He contacted Pineapple Express, a veteran-run extraction operation. Gave them Chaos's last known location. Sent photos. Videos. Anything that could help.
For 47 days, Webb didn't sleep. Didn't eat properly. Just waited for news.
On October 16th, 2021, his phone rang.
"We found him," the voice said. "We found Chaos."
A rescue team had infiltrated Kabul. Used Webb's intel. Found Chaos still at the hangar. Still waiting. Forty-seven days later.
Chaos was emaciated. Dehydrated. Traumatized.
But alive.
The extraction took three days. Smuggling Chaos out of Taliban-controlled territory. Through checkpoints. Through danger.
But they got him out.
On October 19th, 2021, Chaos landed at Dulles International Airport. Webb was waiting on the tarmac.
When they opened the crate, Chaos didn't move. Stared at Webb like he was seeing a ghost.
"It's me, brother," Webb said, kneeling down. "I came back. I promised I'd come back."
Chaos stepped out slowly. Walked to Webb. Collapsed into his arms.
The reunion video went viral. Seventeen million views in three days.
But what people didn't see was what happened after.
For six months, Chaos wouldn't sleep unless Webb was in the room. Wouldn't eat unless Webb fed him. Wouldn't go outside unless Webb went first.
"He's terrified I'll leave him again," Webb said in an interview. "And I don't blame him. I left him once. In the worst place. At the worst time. He waited 47 days for me. And I'll spend the rest of my life making sure he knows I'm never leaving again."
Three years later, Chaos still sleeps with his head on Webb's chest. Still follows him everywhere.
Still making sure Webb doesn't disappear.
K-9 Chaos. Survived 47 days alone in Kabul. Extracted by heroes. Reunited with his handler. Home.

Is it true that once the glue which holds the family together passes away, family gatherings aren't the same anymore?

Not to embarrass my wife but they other day she was getting her car washed and she unbuckled to wipe the dash, the car went into park, the track pushing the car continued on under her tire and the car behind her bumped into her. She panicked and drove her car out of the car wash manually, over the track things, covered in soap and called me crying. She didn’t know (and neither did I) that if you unbuckle while your Tesla is in neutral, the car will go into park. Sentry mode was not captured unfortunately.
