Tesla To Host Autonomy Investor Day PALO ALTO, Calif., April 03, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tesla is making significant progress in the development of its autonomous driving software and hardware, including our FSD computer, which is currently in production and which will enable full-self driving...

Configurator here: Polestar 2 Configurator

That was the wording I was thinking of. Didn't recall it being there and with the phrasing being "new onboard computer" I figured it was a reference to the new chip, since the current HW2.5 chip is more than a year old. I guess it's more likely that they just haven't updated since release. And...

Um, so Tesla's Autopilot page advertises the new chip. That seems pretty significant and could means it is shipping with new orders. Otherwise, why advertise? Autopilot

One of the main take-aways for me is that HW3 is on track for end of Q1 – *this is crazy soon*. Andrej Karpathy talked about how the 10x increase allows for the deployment of a much larger (and more accurate) neural network. @neroden, I remember you posted this in the luvb2b-thread about your...

Don't get me wrong, I love Joe and think he's an amazing example of new media. He's open (some would say to a fault - therefore all the conspiracies) and as you say, thinks things from first principles. I just don't think the market and msm will be as receptive as I would, if anything...

Haven't had time to read through the thread, so here are my quick thoughts before market close, apologies if repeated. Having listened to and enjoyed quite a few of Joe's podcasts over the years, there's reason to be very excited, because it's undoubtedly going to be a historic interview, but...

Well that's a hint, if I ever saw one.. Elon Musk on Twitter

I guess we found the leaker of the photos and the video of GA4 posted on Twitter recently

The re-uploaded version is online of this and while it removed the list of executive departures and the carbon emission claim, it keeps the Enron comparison and the general negative slant against Tesla. Glad to see them admitting to errors and removing them, however I was undoubtably hoping...

FYI - Professor Scott Galloway from NYU Stern (usual purveyor of great information) posted this hit piece-esque video on Tesla earlier today: It includes, among other things, an executive departure list compiled by Jim Chanos, a comparison of the Q1 earnings call to the infamous Enron call...

I've yet to see a Twitter joke from Elon not turn into reality at some point - regardless of the ridiculousness. So this'll probably happen. I was concerned about this as well. Seems like a great way to shoot yourself in the foot - but as @mongo points out they're thrusters not engines...

Can't edit my post (because I'm a new member?), so posting the text here: "SpaceX option package for new Tesla Roadster will include ~10 small rocket thrusters arranged seamlessly around car. These rocket engines dramatically improve acceleration, top speed, braking & cornering. Maybe they will...

Well, shoot. They're actually doing this. Elon Musk on Twitter

Disagree that it has nothing to do witb SpaceX. They make pressurized capsules that can be launched into space. This is not entirely unlike a submarine. Your guess does sound more likely though! Although calling it a SpaceX package without using any SpaceX tech is a bit weird, but makes sense...
