Elon Musk

There's a well-known Tesla "Easter Egg" on the Model S where you can call up a hidden photo of the original Model S development team. Not sure if this has already been reported, but, on a hunch, I tried the same trick on our Model 3, and sure enough, it's there, and of course the photo is...

is it possible to have my battery pack change from my P90D to P100D battery pack. I heard that 90 batteries will be discontinue soon. Does it mean I have to sell my 2 year old to a new one. In Hong Kong, we have to pay almost 100% tax on new car. I don’t like to waste my almost new car with less...

Tesla CEO Elon Musk sent Tuesday “a note of deep gratitude” to Tesla owners for “taking a chance on a new company that all experts said would fail.” After acknowledging the laborious efforts of the Tesla team, Musk asked his Twitter followers what the company can do to further improve...

Just got a software update today. Noticed a new Christmas Easter egg, merry Christmas to you too Elon. Just say ho ho ho as a voice command and let the Holiday festivities ensue The car turns into Santa sleigh, the road turns into a snowy trail. The snow comes down and speeds up the faster...

Earlier this month, Elon Musk tweeted that Falcon Heavy’s “payload will be my midnight cherry Tesla Roadster playing Space Oddity,” referring to a song by David Bowie. “Destination is Mars orbit. Will be in deep space for a billion years or so if it doesn’t blow up on ascent.” Now, a photo...

A few months ago didn’t we get a message from Elon saying that Autopilot is going to get some new features during the holiday season? I don’t recall 100% (also not talking about the FSD promise or any promise made pre-August) I just feel like I heard something about them giving us a fun upgrade...

Virgin Hyperloop One, a startup pursuing a high-speed, tube-based transportation system, says it has set a new speed record and raised a fresh $50 million for its efforts. The company, reportedly short on cash, secured the new funding from Dubai’s DP World and Russia’s Caspian Venture...

Realized I left out a very important step in the relationship progression example I used by way of intro post before last. When he lets you drive it. Hot ticket item. Tesla stocks rise as markets recognize PepsiCo in semi preorder driver seat. They've joined the queue with their 100 truck buy...

Elon Musk faces “unrelenting stress” and “terrible lows” in his work. Self-compassion is correlated with lower levels of stress, anxiety, and depression. As a supporter and Tesla investor, I want Elon to know about self-compassion. If you have a personal or professional connection to Elon, pass...

I have decided to try to get a Tesla for my next car because where I live traffic is horrible not only that my car takes up so much gas. So I applied for a couple car loans and was denied. The reason why is because I don’t have any loan history for as much as I’m requesting which is $89k. The...

Oh snap! There goes every other EV out there.

I just saw a promo of a Semi Truck called Thor, they claim it will beat Tesla's Semi in mid 2019, should Tesla be worried about this or is the Tesla motor and batteries superior to theirs? One thing I think Tesla is superior was they said the mileage they get on a charge is 300 miles, if I'm...

2017 promises to end for Tesla coming down on positive side of that production slope for Model 3. Have you noticed the periodic buzz reports of inventory being spotted here and there? Recently though it's all about the semi. Preorders are rolling in and this is looking like a repeat of Model 3's...

It would be amazing if Tesla would make a Christmas Easter egg for the model s! Any thoughts?

This is a question that came to my mind when i had gone through one discussion going on in a site. Will $TSLA build autopilot chip much better than a chip company? The discussion was Floyd Jenks - AlphaStreet

Thought we should open an area for all the funny things than are found......

To Where'ere Our Hearts Shall Thrust Us When a man finds the vehicle. You know she's the apple of his eye. If he lets you have a peep at it? You're cool. If he permits getting up close to touch and tinker? He respects your opinion. Find yourself in the passenger seat along for a ride...

Elon Musk dreams big. In this post, we’ll look at Elon Musk’s leadership style, the many missed delivery deadlines it has caused, and why (at the same time) it is the key to Tesla’s (and SpaceX’s) success. We’ll also look at how his leadership style has polarized Musk’s fans and critics as well...

I haven't seen anybody comment on the price difference between the 300 and 500 mile semi. If we assume a 1MWh pack (I know it's probably a bit less) then there is a 400 kWh difference and $30,000 difference from the expected price. Elon said a while ago he was targeting less than $100 per kWh.

Got any leftovers? No worries. Make soup. Turkey hash is a favorite this time of year. Then again any dish that has rice as one of its ingredients makes my list. Home's where the heart is. No matter where we choose to roam off grid. Or gather for comforts. Sharing stories with families and...

After putting hats with The Boring Company’s logo up for sale last month, Elon Musk said this week that more than 15,000 were purchased. At $20 a pop, that amounts to $300,000 that Musk says will go toward more tunnel digging. Musk thanked fans on Twitter for participating in the “Initial Hat...

Part 3 of the trip to the US for the #Tesla semi unveil event, where I visit SpaceX and look at the Hyperloop and Boring Company. This whole trip just felt like a tour of Elon's factories :-) Enjoy!

Where did 2017 go? A lot has transpired and inspired. While other matters rendered us mute with frustration. It's all good. As they say what doesn't keel us over. Tesla is all lit up with awesome. Even amidst recent challenges seasoned with some unsavory news. Thursday's semi event was done up...

The brand spanking new #Tesla Next Gen Roadster from all angles. Enjoy!

Okay so it was a WOW factor. Nothing new there. Consistent with Tesla brand semi tickles ALL my gadgetaholic wanna tinker and touch it tendencies. Normal since personal Tesla discovery moment. I would add looks good enough to taste but that might be a bit much for some minds to wrap around...

A lengthy profile of Elon Musk by Rolling Stone offers new, but vague, details of the Tesla semi truck and says Musk was “morbid” on the day of the Model 3 launch. The article explains that Tesla’s goal “isn’t to reinvent the truck, but to create the best one, whether or not it’s similar to...

At home :( Or work :( Good luck to all those lucky enough to see it live.

It was very disheartening to me learning SpaceX represented by Elon Musk has entered into contractual agreements with Turkey to launch satellites and is in apparent car business talks. Which means Tesla's brand may become a part of Turkish culture. A blemish on Turkey's history is the Armenian...

Surprised there's not more chatter on here about this. Have to say, long term, I don't like it. Although it has lucrative appeal. Elon Musk says he's not in it for profit. Then why is Turkey necessary in expanding internationally? How does a country whose politics (current and historical) are a...

"The drive by media." Over past few years don't permit much of what I hear or read to make it within even filtering range of my mental processes. Often it's a regurgitating experience. We exist in times that news has become a question mark? A thing to be bought sold refurbished repackaged by its...

Okay yes, technically we got an update with the Camper mode release, but seriously. I was TOLD self driving woulda been here months ago, AP2 wouldn’t be AP0.5 anymore, and general patterns show we get updates in mid September/ October. Well I hate to be the one to bitch about it, but we have...

Everyday's a holiday if you love what you do. Like my Grandma once said to me though, "Wait til the love wears off." Reality checked. Tesla is deep in production hell of much anticipated Model 3. Upwards of 450,000 anxiously patient customers are in the order queue. Meanwhile the pressure...

There is a clear new trend among automotive companies. They are now innovating again. Tesla is a big driving force in this industry. While I wouldn't say they are "disrupting" the entrenched players, their pace of innovation and acceptance of risk while innovating is certainly pushing big...

So here is a link to Elon's answers. You can click on the "context" link below the answer to get the question that was asked. I'm sure someone will post an article or something to put all of this in a more user friendly manner at some point in the future. Elon was definitely in a mood...
