Tesla Q3 is out, and the headline isn't a car. 🚛 The Semi is in volume production. The top version goes up to 500 miles fully loaded at 82,000 lbs, using about a third of the energy a diesel truck burns for the same load. 🤖 Optimus production has started on the high-volume lines in Fremont. 🚕 Cybercab is in the Austin Robotaxi fleet, with nearly 2M unsupervised miles so far (8x growth in one quarter). 🧠 FSD Supervised is on 75%+ of new North American deliveries and now live in 9 EU countries. 🔋 Megafactory Texas is running, with record energy storage orders. Plus the biggest passenger car backlog in 4 years. 📸 Tesla
