Powerwall 3 is flood resistant in over 2 ft (70 cm) of water, keeping your home powered even in the most severe weather
I don't understand the new 50% copper tariffs. They're not going to jumpstart US production, aren't targeted to countries in which we're in a trade war, and will drive up prices on a wide range of essential goods. A couple mines in the US are world-class and economic without the…
Good illustration of how much the Texas grid has changed in just 6 years. yellow = solar; purple = batteries; dark green = wind; blue = gas; brown = coal; light green = nuke via @grid_status
It doesn’t make any sense. Unless the goal is to shrink the economy and hobble American competitiveness.
"Energy dominance" agenda: -50% copper tariff -Steel & aluminum tariff -Restrictive FEOC for new power plants -$15bn of US gas turbines to Saudis -Punitive tax treatment for solar/wind -Offshore wind moratorium -New coal subsidy
Solar power is very obviously the future if you can do elementary math. Compared to the Sun, all other energy combined is like caveman burning some twigs.

Today I'm excited to announce Heron Power has closed a $38M Series A led by Capricorn, with participation from @Breakthrough, @EnergyImpact_ , @gigascale, @JoinPowerhouse, Valor, JB Straubel, and Zach Kirkhorn. Heron Power’s first product, the Heron Link, replaces legacy…
After a year focused on my family, enjoying extended travel and many hours spent gardening and surfing, I’m excited to share that I’ve started a new company, Heron Power. The electricity sector is struggling to keep pace with AI’s insatiable energy demand on top of the growing…

Psyched to share something @stripe, @ScaleMicrogrids, and @paces_ai have been cooking for the past few months. A massive wave of new energy demand has been unleashed by AI. How will we power it? We think gigantic off-grid solar microgrids offer a very compelling solution.

I test drove a Cybertruck today. The steer-by-wire was pretty mind-blowing. It took a little getting used to but felt great once I did. I can't imagine at some point all future Teslas won't have this. It makes so much sense not to have to turn the wheel two times. And because…
Making the world's bestselling vehicles more accessible is critical to Tesla's mission Model 3 now starts at $329/month with $2,999 down
The amount of value that is packed into the @Tesla Powerwall 3 is mind blowing. Powerwall 3 stores the same amount of energy as Powerwall 2, but the Powerwall 3 can discharge 230% (continuously) faster than the 2. This means that a single Powerwall 3 has enough power to handle…

You said it, Javier, kudos to the Lathrop Megafactory team! Also what a fun "family" photo :)
Tesla Megafactory Team thank you for delivering an extraordinary year. Energy storage deployments reached 14.7 GWh in 2023. Thank you to our customers, associates, technicians, leaders, support teams and investors. WE ARE CHANGING THE WORLD TOGETHER! #tesla #Megapack
Remarkable that an electric vehicle factory is the most productive in North America, and produces the most American vehicles of any type. The @tesla Fremont factory has come a long way in 14 years after being abandoned by GM and Toyota during the great recession.
Congratulations Tesla Fremont for record production in 2023. Consecutive 3rd year to be a most productive factory across North America! Thanks to all employees and suppliers supporting across our Fremont and Giga Nevada. It would have been impossible without your efforts!…
Useful perspective on pace of the sustainable energy transition
Some napkin math: this year's additions of solar (413GW per @BloombergNEF ) and wind (124GW on+offshore per @IEA) should generate 750-800TWh in their first full year of operations. More than Brazil consumed in 2022 (703TWh). Less than Japan consumed (1,034TWh).
