The Tesla Space

We’ve got good news. We’ve good bad news. We’ve got stuff that is neither, or both. All of it fresh. All of it around Tesla and Elon's other ventures: theteslaspace.com/p/tesla-space-…

BREAKING: Tesla showroom and three Teslas in were burned down at 3 am tonight in Parramatta, Australia Tesla spokesperson confirms the fire was not vehicle-related, it was very likely arson. Read more and see the videos from the spot on EVwire: evwire.com/p/tesla-showro… ←

I guarantee there's no Tesla & @elonmusk related weekly newsletter out there that has received a better feedback consistently than ours: join us at theteslaspace.com, new drop every Tuesday

Inside Elon Musk's TeraFab AI Factory

Our FU Superchargers (Folding Unit) save 20%+ on cost, improve build quality, and deploy 2X faster. The majority of cost savings are in civil, electrical and logistics cost. It's why we're spending so much time improving our pre-assembled Supercharger units. With FU Superchargers, on-site work is further reduced, including no more DC busbar connection and no Tesla service technician needed for commissioning. We can ship 16 Supercharger posts per truck (previously 12), making the logistics cost of shipping pre-assembled Superchargers now cheaper than traditional construction 🤯. This is just Rev1, we'll have Rev3 by next quarter. Every little improvement matters for the scale needed for 100% EV adoption.

Optimus

Surely a 650hp Lamborghini can't lose to a 3 tonne fridge?! 🧐🤔

Macrohard or Digital Optimus is a joint xAI-Tesla project, coming as part of Tesla’s investment agreement with xAI. Grok is the master conductor/navigator with deep understanding of the world to direct digital Optimus, which is processing and actioning the past 5 secs of real-time computer screen video and keyboard/mouse actions. Grok is like a much more advanced and sophisticated version of turn-by-turn navigation software. You can think of it as Digital Optimus AI being System 1 (instinctive part of the mind) and Grok being System 2. (thinking part of the mind). This will run very competitively on the super low cost Tesla AI4 ($650) paired with relatively frugal use of the much more expensive xAI Nvidia hardware. And it will be the only real-time smart AI system. This is a big deal. In principle, it is capable of emulating the function of entire companies. That is why the program is called MACROHARD, a funny reference to Microsoft. No other company can yet do this.

This week has been absolutely insane for Tesla and broader muskonomy: Tesla first to get to AGI? Giga Berlin defeating union; Robotaxi for Europe; Peeks inside the Semi factory; First city on planet to buy Superchargers; Tesla Solarmaxxing And more: theteslaspace.com/p/tesla-space-… 📩

Prufrock-2 has emerged! Fun facts: - 2.28 miles long - Longest single Vegas Loop tunnel drive (previous TBC record was 2.26) - 4th tunnel at @WestgateVegas - ~68k cubic yards of dirt moved - ~4.8 miles of continuous conveyor belt driven w 6 motors totaling 825 hp

Real picture of @StarbaseTX

Buyer beware: Matthews International stole Tesla's DBE technology and is now subject to an injunction and liable for damages. During our work with Matthews, we caught them red-handed copying our technology—including proprietary software and sensitive mechanical designs—into products for other customers.  For three years they lied about it, tried to hide their dishonesty, and continued to ship our technology to others. Recently, we obtained a permanent injunction preventing further theft from Tesla, with financial damages to be computed. Matthews is now publishing complete nonsense to cover their tracks. To correct the record: Matthews was found liable for distributing Tesla’s technology into practically every substantial DBE machine they’ve sold, and their ridiculous claim of ownership over our patents is in active dispute. Suppliers who exploit customer IP through theft or deception have no place in Tesla’s ecosystem—or in any ethical supply chain.

SpaceX will build a system that allows anyone to travel to Moon. This will so insanely cool 🚀💫🤩
