Remember the toilet paper shortage? Not being able to buy a new car because of chip shortages? I don’t want that to happen again, and I’m guess neither do you. But here’s the thing… a 🧵… (1/8)
Had a major problem with me brand new
@Tesla
model Y… parked for 3 weeks during holiday, came back to a coolant leak! Had to drive 500 miles to San Diego. Called roadside assistance on the Tesla app, they took it in and fixed it in 4 hours and I’m on the road. This was a moment,
Hot take…

cybertruck will be best selling truck in America, dethroning the venerable

My rental car this week is a

I think the opposite. It's an iPhone moment, when everything else just suddenly looks dated... trucks have been boring for too long!
After some anticipation… touring

Thank you

Better that we not compare politicians to people who build things, it wouldn’t be a fair fight. One takes risks puts time and money on the line to build something, the other… I actually have no idea what politicians do… guessing not a lot
@sweatystartup
I get that... but I just ran my whole house, office and charged my electric car on solar, and owe $0 and I just charge when its parked in the garage... kinda epic too
@elonmusk
Non scientists and engineers don’t understand testing… it’s one of the great lessons in all of life. Everything we have that works started as something that didn’t. God bless

As 2021 winds down, I’m so grateful for so many things. For opportunity, and for enterprising minds like man of the year
@elonmusk
that’s made being an engineer sexy. Forget politicians, they accomplish next to nothing. Get out there take the risk and do something great!
Power is out in my neighborhood and I’m the only house with power for like a mile…

worth it? Depends on you… fluke thunderstorm in San Diego and lightning striking palm trees starting fires… goodness 🙏

There are some members of the

community that are so toxic! We should remember that we represent the future, the sustainable, the solution, the inclusive!
My last bill just came in for gas and electric … $1400!
@SDGE
I think we need to break up… going to spend a ton of time in 2023 becoming energy independent. This is insane. Prices are nuts… 2x for natural gas, and $0.80/kWh in summer! 🤬🤬🤬
As a full time Youtuber I think I worked 340 days in 2022 🤯… happy to report I’m taking a vacation and going to India… I have one grandma left … and she needs to meet the boys

The same thing that allowed me to afford my house (bad roof) was a huge and expensive problem… but finally it’s done and I have solar… here’s a fun before and after… had pool solar heating panels before and they leaked bad… that’s salt water caked on the roof before 🤦🏾♂️
Finally decided when I’ll drink my

This isn’t supersonic. You’re not going 800MPH at this altitude … that’s a vapor cone… caused by an instantaneous pressure and temperature drop… vapor cones can happen at lower speeds based on humidity and other factors

. Somehow it doesn’t feel the same... who can explain it??
@alex_avoigt
Can’t believe the benefit isn’t understood… we put this on major highways… model 3 4miles/kWh means 15kWh for 60mph… and it never drops range…. Compared to spiking grids charging at 250kW when stopped… this is huge. Not for everywhere, but huge
Oh my god I’m so excited!!!! After a 7 month wait on permits… my

@span_io
panel and car charger! Late in the day but I can officially see what every single circuit in my house is doing!!
Since I got my
@span_io
and solar setup… I have charged my EVs 100% from sunshine. Charging at 6,700W, my entire home and still exporting a bit to the grid… just amazing… Happy Earth day!
Biggest pet peeve so far on the ID4 is this start button. EVs should not have start buttons! It’s so complicated to roll down windows or back up while charging… because the car keeps entering various states.
@BPBartholomew
Easy duck curve fix… offer much lower price EV charging at peak day when the sun is shining Brightest! Even better than charging at midnight when demand is lower…
@klwtts
The Tesla port is very clever, same pins deliver AC or DC, small & one hand wieldable. I’m all for standards but the CCS plug here in the US is worse in every way. Let’s standardize! And let’s pick the better plug! Need to sort out 800+ V systems, should be doable

Think it’s time to break up the unions. Between dealers, and unions, American legacy auto is headed to a most certain eventuality… and it’s not pretty
@RebuildsRich
You said it Rich!! For 100% acceptance and adoption you’re right on the money. Right to repair, and seeing these as enthusiast machines will be critical. Imagine some high schooler 20 years from now buying a 20 year old tesla and “fixing” it up
