@JDStringfellow @Miyhnea Are the destroyed radars and jets and blicked straits part of the success?

@Arpe_DK @RoamingNorway There were people lamenting the Neue Klasse i3 design while holding up the i4 as an example of good design.
English
@RoamingNorway What? I haven't seen anyone being ok with the i4 design here 5 years later.
English
Every bmw design gets hated on release and loved few years later. the i4 already completed this cycle in record time. Will this also happen with Neue Klasse?
English
@thomasforth Reckon that is going to happen, or will we just hurt manufacturing that relies on steel?
English
@JDStringfellow Yes. Subsidies and protection need to go deep within the economy if we want to protect manufacturing.
English
Important bit of realism. Manufacturing in Britain, if we want to keep hold of it, will require protectionism or subsidy, like this. That will make us a bit poorer. Addressing high input costs (substantially energy for steel) would reduce that cost a bit, but it'll still be high.
Ed Conway@EdConwaySky
🚨Clearly there's loads of news today so there's a chance this gets ignored but... it is a BIG deal. Britain, the country that invented free trade as we know it, is raising steel tariffs to 50%. Biggest tariffs since Brexit. A massively symbolic moment. news.sky.com/story/watershe…

@DevinOlsenn @ChadMoran @Tuggernutz87 More FUD, good to know you can't be trusted to accurately report on FSD 👍
English
@ChadMoran @Tuggernutz87 Well FSD was disengaged 4 seconds prior to the crash but the truck slowed down zero.
Explain how that happened otherwise
English
It was 4 seconds from the time of FSD disengagement until the impact. However, it was 2 seconds from disengagement until the start of the turn. Which FSD should have slowed down for. That's 170 ft to go from 60 MPH to 20 MPH. Or about 0.63g of stopping force... that's hard braking.
Chad Moran@ChadMoran
Here's the original video, which looks like it's actual speed. I used two markers and consistently measured it. It took 75 frames in a 30 FPS video to travel 212.63 ft equating to 57.9 MPH (probably 60). The incident occurred in August of 2025. These are just facts. Yes the driver should have intervened sooner. Yes, FSD was approaching way too fast.

I hate it when Israel does this, and I hate it when Russia does this.
It's so easy to be morally and ideologically consistent.

Russia is planning a large-scale resettlement of its citizens to the occupied territories of Ukraine, with more than 100,000 Russians expected to be relocated there, Ukrainian media report.

@twittyname @thomasforth Seems like a considerable headache to make a standardised, interoperable, and public swap network, and I don’t think there’s scope/appetite for multiple proprietary networks, and charging is getting so fast now.
English
@thomasforth Must be "reasons", but baffles me there aren't 2-3 standard batteries which can be slid in/out of cars at battery exchange stations similar to a petrol station where you pay to rent a charged battery...
English
I had expected it to work the other round (your self-driving car sneaks off at night and charges itself, returning by morning) --- but this works too. Brings me closer to getting an electric car on a terraced home in Leeds which is unlikely to ever have at-home charging.

@piloly @TeslaVisualized Is it huge to beat Q2 and Q3, assuming you mean 2025? Q1 '24 had higher sales than Q2 & Q3 '25, and was close to Q4 '25.
English
@TeslaVisualized @JDStringfellow Yes the week looks good but Q1 is far from catching up to Q4. But close to beat Q2 and Q3. And that's also huge.
English
In Europe*, 5.9k Tesla sales were reported for the week of March 9 to 15. 🇪🇺
This is +21.8% WoW and +49.3% compared to the same week last year. This has been best week of the year so far. The quarter after 11 weeks is -32.2% QoQ. YTD sales are unchanged year-over-year.
The trend looks promising. Although there was a slower start to the quarter than last year, deliveries are now stronger than usual at this time of year. There are long waiting times for orders of the Premium Model Y.
* Data from the daily/weekly reporting countries UK, Norway, Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Iceland (~60% of sales in Europe)

@MuldoonMartin @SantoroSystems Anyone with even a room temperature IQ can figure out the point being made isn't about manufacturing cars at scale lol
English
@SantoroSystems Oh no... You said: "Four cars don't matter.. we need to see proof that they can actually increase the number of vehicles in the direction of millions"
I think Tesla can manufacture cars. Don't you? Duh...
English
Because investors know that FSD without actual ability to scale it is worthless....
Four cars don't matter.. we need to see proof that they can actually increase the number of vehicles in the direction of millions...

@ethanmckanna Would be great to see a chart of logged trips, maybe by day/week and filterable by city to better judge the amount of active vehicles being spotted and general enthusiasm.

Sync your Robotaxi trips and see if you pass me on the leaderboard!

Robotaxi Tracker@RtaxiTracker
If you want to help make Robotaxi Tracker more accurate, download the iOS app You can log into your Tesla account and future rides will automatically be logged when the app is opened. This helps keep the total and active fleet numbers accurate and improves the data for everyone! Only data leaving your device is vehicle plate/VIN, service area, trip length, price, and date apps.apple.com/us/app/robotax…

@piloly When Q1 (typically worst sales quarter) is nearly as good as Q4 (typically best sales quarter) of last year that's a huge win!

I wonder if David Frost knows how the French water system works. My suspicion on listening to this is that maybe he doesn't.

If EU are upset at the US giving Russia a waiver on oil sanctions (as they should be), they have a simple hack they can use.
EU sanctions are still in effect, and since they are not using their navies against Iran right now, they can just grab all of Putin's tankers they see.

@millepun @Arpe_DK @Tesla_AI @SawyerMerritt @wholemars @DirtyTesLa @AIDRIVR @Rustavi He's in Austin so a bit more hands on with the data collection, and you can infer based the amount of repeat trips being logged against the same RTs whether a few or many are being missed. He seems to know what he's doing and is transparent, you could ask him.
English
@JDStringfellow @Arpe_DK @Tesla_AI @SawyerMerritt @wholemars @DirtyTesLa @AIDRIVR @Rustavi Based on what he think Austin data are quite accurate?
English
Why is nobody showing this robotaxi fleet?
The active fleet spotted last 30 days is falling.
What is @Tesla_AI up to?
@SawyerMerritt @wholemars @DirtyTesLa @AIDRIVR @Rustavi @robotinreallife
English
@millepun @Arpe_DK @Tesla_AI @SawyerMerritt @wholemars @DirtyTesLa @AIDRIVR @Rustavi The guy that built it has said that the data for Austin should be quite accurate, Bay Area less so, but it's the best insight we've got without anything official. The cumulative total includes cars which have regular trips logged but then haven't been seen in months.
English
@JDStringfellow @Arpe_DK @Tesla_AI @SawyerMerritt @wholemars @DirtyTesLa @AIDRIVR @Rustavi @robotinreallife Yes, but it’s only part of the data and the key is we have no idea how much data (of the full picture) are submitted, either auto or manual.
And I have a feeling that only hardcore fans joined the auto submit, but again, we have no idea are they still active riders.

@StepanRehak (Please don't tell me Renault still offer base trims without DC fast charging...)
English
@StepanRehak Are there new EVs that don't offer fast charging as standard? Feels like that bit can go unsaid now 🙂

The all-new Volkswagen ID. Cross enters the final stage before its European launch in autumn 2026.
Built on the MEB+ platform with the Group Unified Cell, the compact electric SUV offers fast charging as standard and up to 436 km WLTP range.
Target starting price: around €28,000.
