Lars in response to the suggestion that the rocket version of the Tesla Roadster won't come to production:
Replying to @tomwookieford
@tomwookieford - we don’t show things that we can’t do in production. The cold gas system can produce over 80kN of force. If everything weighs even a ridiculously high 2500 kg with the mass of gas plus the thruster system, the lift from the thrusters is >3x the mass of the vehicle. When you have more lift than mass, you can get off the ground, when it’s that much more over time you have spare air to flip and manuever - simple math really….

I can tell you exactly what will happen if Democrats regain power: They will use your money to fly deported illegal aliens back to America and pay them settlements. They will re-open our borders and ship millions of foreign people to any community they want. And they won't stop until America becomes an unrecognizable country.

I’m full of surprises
I was today years old when I found out the tailgate button on the Cybertruck is also the bed light switch 😱 With the tailgate open, just tap it to turn the bed lights on or off. Did everyone know this but me?

Full quote from Lars and Elon about Cybercab: Lars: "We're trying to get Cybercabs to customers by the end of this year, 2026. We're producing them on our line in Texas, but all of those are currently going to our own internal Robotaxi fleet. As Tesla grows, we'll mainly deliver fully designed autonomous vehicles to our customers and Cybercab will be the first. We'll start small this year, and as we learn about all the things Ashok mentioned about delivery, ownership, fleet management and autonomous vehicles in customer hands, we'll continue to scale that." Elon: "Cybercab is primarily something that is offered as transport as a service, whereas our other cars would be more the cars that you'd want to own, like Model 3/Y and Roadster. The vast majority of the Cybercab stuff will be Tesla-owned and transport as a service." Last month (Sept), Tesla introduced a new form that you can fill out if you are interested in purchasing a fleet of Cybercabs: tesla.com/robotaxi/interest

Tesla says they have officially started Optimus production in Fremont on their high-volume lines. "The bots coming off this line are the first production quality bots that we have manufactured. While we will continue to iterate on the hardware and manufacturing process, we have proven that the current manufacturing process for Optimus is suitable for a commercial product."

“Sydney Sweeney” makes the case for Voter ID.
Prop 39 released a new ad today highlighting what politicians don’t want you to know: California is one of a handful of states that don’t require a photo ID to vote. Prop 39 is a battle of politicians versus people. Politicians want you to vote no. The People are voting yes. This ad is a parody, but the problem is not. The politicians want to protect their power and money. We want to give it back to you. Vote Yes on Prop 39. Donate: efundraisingconnections.com/…
