@thejefflutz Cyber Cab and now Semi. 2027 is going to be huge… when both are fully ramped. Hope they can close the loop on the Roadster next and move on to what comes next. Exciting times ahead.

Congrats this is a BIG deal! A whole NEW SEGMENT for Tesla! Some said it could never happen! 👀

@StrokeDistance You’ll be eating your words by end of next year once they ramp production. They built that factory to have 50K capacity. They’ll easily get those orders. Did you also make such a ridiculous claim when they came out with the Model Y? The best selling car of any kind on the planet!

@Mark41825515557 @thejefflutz Nope. 4000 max in any year. They shit the bed again. 2nd straight flop.

@M1551LE @TanteKaner @teslaeurope If hw3 can’t get there, I wonder if Tesla would rather spend say $3k or whatever to retrofit, or offer the same amount for customers to upgrade vehicles and allow them to keep paid FSD?

@TanteKaner @teslaeurope No we are screwed

Together with RDW, we have officially completed the final vehicle testing phase for Full Self-Driving (Supervised) and have submitted all documentation required for the UN R-171 approval + Article 39 exemptions. The RDW team is now reviewing the documentation and test results package internally. They have communicated the expected approval for Netherlands date of 4/10, shifting from 3/20 previously and we look forward to successful completion of this cooperation.  Following the Netherlands’ approval, European countries will be able to recognize this approval nationally. We are anticipating a possible EU-wide approval during the summer. Over the past 18 months, this approval has involved a series of intense documentation, development, testing, research & audits. Including but certainly not limited to: – 1,600,000+ km of FSD (Supervised) testing on EU roads – 13,000+ customer sales ride-alongs – 4,500+ track test scenario executions – Thousands of pages of written documentation for 400+ compliance requirements – Dozens of research studies into safety performance/results We're extremely proud of the work conducted with the RDW team up until this point. We very much look forward to the approval in April, and sharing FSD (Supervised) with our patient EU customers!

@RobJodH @TanteKaner @teslaeurope Disagree. HW4 (ai4) in it’s current state is already close enough to demonstrate it will get there. HW3 I think is still debatable.

@TanteKaner @teslaeurope Wait until all the hw4 (ai4) owners join you after ai5 becomes a requirement

@shanaka86 Pretty thoughtful break down.

BREAKING: Trump just invited China to send warships to protect the waterway China is using to replace the dollar. Read his Truth Social post carefully. It is the most strategically loaded sentence of the war. “Hopefully China, France, Japan, South Korea, the UK, and others, that are affected by this artificial constraint, will send Ships to the area so that the Hormuz Strait will no longer be a threat by a Nation that has been totally decapitated.” The invitation is a trap. Every possible Chinese response damages China. If Beijing sends warships, it legitimises an American-led coalition, subordinates Chinese naval power to US command architecture, and abandons its diplomatic neutrality with Iran, the country currently offering China yuan-only passage through the Strait that everyone else is locked out of. China loses its shadow fleet advantage, its discounted Iranian crude, and its CIPS leverage in a single deployment. If Beijing refuses, it confirms what Washington wants the world to see: that China is willing to let the global economy burn rather than contribute to the security of the waterway that carries 45% of its own crude imports. Every nation paying $96 a barrel while China pays less through yuan-settled shadow fleet deliveries will note who showed up and who did not. The free-rider narrative writes itself, and America writes the next chapter of dollar dominance with it. Trump named six countries. Five are allies or partners: Japan is signing Golden Dome in five days, France operates from Djibouti, the UK from Bahrain, South Korea has direct Hormuz energy exposure. Their participation is expected. China’s participation is the question, and the question is the weapon. While 16 million barrels of Iranian crude have transited to China since 28 February through shadow tankers settling in yuan, while CIPS processed $24.5 trillion in 2025 at 43% growth, while Iran offered to reopen the Strait exclusively for yuan cargo, Trump posted a sentence that forces China to choose between its shadow economy and its public legitimacy. The post also contains an admission that no briefing has delivered. “We have already destroyed 100% of Iran’s Military capability, but it’s easy for them to send a drone or two, drop a mine, or deliver a close range missile somewhere along, or in, this Waterway, no matter how badly defeated they are.” The President of the United States just acknowledged that total military victory does not equal total waterway security. Iran’s military is destroyed. The coastline is not. A defeated nation with a 33-kilometre shoreline, $500 mines, and $20,000 drones can deny passage through the world’s most important chokepoint indefinitely because the weapons of denial are cheaper than the weapons of dominance. “In the meantime, the United States will be bombing the hell out of the shoreline.” Bomb the coast. Shoot the boats. And hope that six nations send warships to escort tankers that have no insurance, no P&I coverage, and no private-sector willingness to transit a waterway the President himself admits a defeated nation can still threaten. The coalition call is not about Iran. Iran’s military is destroyed. The coalition call is about the world that emerges after Iran. If America escorts the tankers alone, the Strait reopens under American control and dollar pricing survives. If a coalition escorts them, the Strait reopens under international consensus and the yuan-for-Hormuz proposal dies. If nobody escorts them, the Strait stays closed and China’s shadow fleet is the only commerce moving through it. Trump is not asking for help. He is asking every nation to declare which monetary system they want the Strait to operate under when the war ends. The warships are the ballot. The Strait is the polling station. And the currency is the vote. Full analysis in the link! open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

@FanMusk36469 Yeah too easy… 3452839

@elonmuskFatZo Obviously there is only 1 “dots” in this image. 8 black circles and 4 in the syntax. 13 if you combined them all and if we are discussing this image only. 8 more if you include the white sort of dots in the letters. 23 maybe total. I see infinite dots in life lol.

@elonmusk Will be more impressive when @Grok or any of these AI tools can keep the color of skates consistent. And yes these are obviously several clips stitched together. But its consistency is a tough nut to crack. That and making human eyes look convincing. But damn good. Cheers.

@QTHESTORMM @QTHESTORMM The Universe works in mysterious ways!

I just ordered 10 Tesla Cyber Trucks. I will be giving all of these away to followers tonight at 8pm PST! Like and comment to be entered into the raffle!

@BlipMathers @SawyerMerritt 😂

@SawyerMerritt What generates the revenue though? It seems complex…

Tesla builds massive chip fabrication and solar manufacturing facilities. Those chips and solar panels go into SpaceX’s AI satellites. xAI develops and manages the AI. That AI helps Optimus development. xAI uses Tesla Megapacks at its datacenters to smoothen out power fluctuations. Optimus becomes capable enough to do construction, so SpaceX ships Optimus to help build on Mars. There are so many organic synergies between these companies across data, hardware, software, and manufacturing.

@YTinMoab @SawyerMerritt Additionally imagine what these combined companies do for future proofing US dominance! Pretty sure Democrats love US winning the AI and Space race and Autonomous future as their Republican colleagues. Government contracts up the Wazzu…

@YTinMoab @SawyerMerritt Miles you seem like an intelligent guy. But have to disagree here. As others have stated. Different businesses. Not Ford and GM joining. And opposite. All companies get at cost pricing vs selling products and services in a way that may draw lawsuits. Current Governmentis pro Elon

@k_k_ram @TheSonOfWalkley As a Tesla investor, I wholeheartedly disagree. The synergy will easily make up for stated dilution. Elons time will be better spent and less lawsuits if every part is getting equal treatment under one umbrella. Space based AI will make this a worthy merger.

@TheSonOfWalkley TSLA shareholders will be the ultimate losers due to dilution.

WE NEED $TSLA AND SPACEX MERGER 👀

@TeslaBoomerMama @ryantanaka @herbertong No kidding right 😆

@ryantanaka 💪 Finally (where is @herbertong ?)

Taking credit 😌

@MikeBanuch @heydave7 😂

@heydave7 I live in NYC and the uber drivers do not talk to you. When I travel I’m always amused by the drivers trying to chat during the ride. Last time I was in LA I was stuck for an hour with a guy who didn’t believe we’ve ever been to space because “man cannot leave the firmament”

Just took an Uber a few miles in Houston. Driver was complaining about doing short drives because it’s not much money. Then he shouted at some other car encroaching in his space. Then complained about 4th of July parades. And his car smelled. And you tell me Uber can compete against Tesla Robotaxi?

By the way… I am all in on Tesla. Could be wrong, but Cyber Truck didn’t get FSD for a bit. Needed miles driven? So low cost Cybercab (model 2) being sold, for now, with driver gear just makes sense. Unless Elon wants that look solely for Cab. Sometimes he needs solid push back.

Riddle me this… If Cybercab is ever going to collect the camera data needed to perform as well as the Model Y with FSD… Why isn’t it being sold with a steering wheel and pedals? And hit every market in the world to gather it! 2 birds, 1 stone. Like Duh… 🙄 @tesla @elonmusk

@SMcsparksalott @Teslarati 😂

@Teslarati If my next Tesla will deliver itself, it better arrive with 0 miles on the odometer.
