Tesla AI & Tesla Optimus. curious about life, consciousness, and our very existence in the matrix.
@Tesla_AI is the most hardcore AI team on earth. A decade of hard work on to building best AI software and hardware to start @robotaxi service for the public. Today establishes the new era of physical AI dominance for Tesla. So grateful to be part of this mission!
Super congratulations to the @Tesla_AI software & chip design teams on a successful @Robotaxi launch!! Culmination of a decade of hard work. Both the AI chip and software teams were built from scratch within Tesla.
Autonomy is here. It’s just not evenly distributed yet. Proud of the team shipping this milestone, just the beginning of what’s coming.
Giga Texas production now uses FSD Unsupervised to deliver cars from end of line to the outbound logistics lot. Over 50,000 driverless miles have been accrued between California and Texas factories so far
Eight years ago, I joined the @Tesla_AI team as an engineer. Infact, my bond with the company started even earlier, back at NVIDIA, working on chip bringup for Tesla's early hardware computers. This decade-long journey has been the adventure of a lifetime. Thrilling,…
Most people don’t realize Tesla is the only car you can buy that chauffeurs you safely and comfortably, like a 5-star uber driver. It’s a no-brainer for family peace of mind for both everyday commute and roadtrips!
FSD Supervised gives you back time & energy All while making the roads safer for you & others
June marked the transition of Tesla from being just a car company to real-world AI and robotics company.

The future is here now! It’s surreal that you can just order a car and the car can get delivered to your place by itself. This is the default capability in every Tesla you can buy now!
World's first autonomous delivery of a car! This Tesla drove itself from Gigafactory Texas to its new owner's home ~30min away — crossing parking lots, highways & the city to reach its new owner
This one is for the history books! Proud of the @Tesla_AI team to make this happen.
The first fully autonomous delivery of a Tesla Model Y from factory to a customer home across town, including highways, was just completed a day ahead of schedule!! Congratulations to the @Tesla_AI teams, both software & AI chip design!
Many more talented people who made this possible aren’t pictured here - they are the unsung heroes. I want to give a special shoutout to the legend @patrick_cho_1 , the mastermind behind a lot of our breakthroughs.
❤️ Join the @Tesla_AI team to push the frontier of AI software and hardware. tesla.com/AI
Your team has done a great job maximizing the performance of the Tesla AI computer. Robotaxi wouldn’t be possible yet without that.
A tremendous amount of testing is underway to ensure a safe and slow rollout in the beginning. The future is going to be wild!
BREAKING: First ever Tesla Model Y robotaxi with no-one in the drivers seat spotted testing on public roads in Austin, Texas! Tesla's new "Robotaxi" wordmark/logo is on the side of the vehicle.
Thank you for being a great friend and mentor @_milankovac_ See you in Europe. 📷 First Tesla Autonomy Day 2019
Over the past 9+ years, I’ve had the immense privilege to work with some of the most brilliant minds in AI & engineering. I’ve built friendships that will last a lifetime. This week, I’ve had to make the most difficult decision of my life and will be moving out of my position.…
Thanks @_milankovac_ for being a great leader, mentor and brother. From endless late night debugs on Autopilot to the AI leaps on Optimus, it’s been an honor chasing the mission alongside you these past 8+ years. Enjoy the much earned time with family!

Sanskrit is an ancient, formally specified language with recursive production rules and compositional semantics. It definitely offers deep insights for designing non-autoregressive, symbolic LLM architectures with reasoning built-in. Excited to see this explored in open source!
Looking for people to help build 3 fun RL environments for Sanskrit: - metrical/chandas poetry composition - surface morphology/paninian rendering - literature source retrieval These can all be verified with OSS packages and implemented in <2 days. Short 🧵 on the project ideas!
Learning from human demonstrations is a major unlock for faster skill acquisition and a step in the right direction towards generalization. What makes it even more impactful is that all these tasks are handled by a single neural network. The efficiency of Tesla’s AI stack,…
One of our goals is to have Optimus learn straight from internet videos of humans doing tasks. Those are often 3rd person views captured by random cameras etc. We recently had a significant breakthrough along that journey, and can now transfer a big chunk of the learning…
Dancing is a hard problem not just for humans, even for robots. It stresses timing, torque and latency budgets. @Tesla_Optimus nails it like a pro dancer with all of the AI inference running on-board in real-time!
Was just getting warmed up
Each ride helps us improve the full autonomy stack from vehicle dispatch to remote ops. A necessary step towards FSD unsupervised.
FSD Supervised ride-hailing service is live for an early set of employees in Austin & San Francisco Bay Area. We've completed over 1.5k trips & 15k miles of driving. This service helps us develop & validate FSD networks, the mobile app, vehicle allocation, mission control &…
A glimpse of the future!
Teslas now drive themselves from their birthplace at the factory to their designated loading dock lanes without human intervention One step closer to large-scale unsupervised FSD
Great to see people loving v13. It’s going to only get even better from here! 2025 is going to be amazing! 🚀
$TSLA This is going to be a long post about FSD because I just had one of the most incredible experiences of my life. I took a 40 minute drive today to Jersey City using FSD v13. I snapped this picture of the NYC skyline during the drive. I am in awe. I don’t really even…
