All the armchair experts claimed the Cybertruck has no crumple zone and I get it, the proportions seem impossible. It was a tough one and there is a lot of engineering that went into it. Let me break it down for you: Here you can see the large single piece casting in action in a…

Got a chance to visit last week and can confirm the food (and burger box) is great. There is also a Cybertruck display that has the first HFS sample we used for ballistics testing which still has my hand written notes on it. And you can see the Hollywood sign from the top deck!

Corn crop is effectively a really inefficient solar panel. It's absorbing and converting solar energy to stored energy through photosynthesis. Then we need to do work to harvest it, process it to fuel and eventually burn it for energy, creating waste heat along the way. Remove…

This was a design goal - we wanted to make this take < 2 mins to service, not require any tools (or upside-down passenger seat acrobatics) and without sacrificing packaging space while fitting an enormous HEPA filter. Open frunk -> pull off back panel -> slide out the filter

Went sporting clay shooting for the first time since I was a kid. Started the day with a 0% hit rate on the first stand and a few hours later closed out the day with 100% hit rate on the final stand. Amazing how fast a new RL policy converges on our meat computers

Our charging products are not accessories farmed out to the lowest bidder, they are critical infrastructure and have a full team of super awesome people testing and improving them in partnership with the in-house design team. It's why the wall chargers, mobile chargers, and…

And I thought it was exciting seeing these drive out of the factory and to the logistics lot...

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

And of course the cherry on top of all of that are the people. Each of these factories employed local construction workers to build and modify the plants as well as created long term jobs for thousands of people to take part in the Tesla mission.

Nice sticker collection

On my lastest visit to China my team continued the tradition of finding something unique for me to try eating. In this case, while in Shandong province we had fried locust. Honestly looks pretty unappealing but taste and texture like fried chicken skin

Cybertruck cameo in "A Working Man", any other shows/movies you've seen with @cybertruck? Weird front license plate position though

Do not test drive the Cybertruck because you will end up buying one. Grateful to have a CT!

Just saw a video from RSEV comparing a 217k mile model 3 to another from the same model year with only 3k miles and the takeaway is basically 30 miles of capacity degradation and the driver seat is slightly worn. Really impressive. youtu.be/1zM9mMBi9gw?si… There's a deep dive…

Cool little beach cleaning EV named Bebot. It's a small tank tread remote control tugger which pulls a sieve through the sand behind it. That sieve has a wire mesh which shales shakes and the sand falls through while the trash is captured.

Zack's repair was a perfect demonstration of the work the team put in hand in hand with service to consider repairability in the design. Crashes happen and lowering the cost of repair lowers the cost of insurance, and improves overall cost of ownership. Couple that with low…

I'm considering doing a Cybertruck Off Road Space. Tried it a while back but didn't get much response. If I get enough takers maybe give it another go? If you like this idea please drop a comment, I have a few co-hosts in mind. You know who you are.

A silent generator that can also drive you to your destination
