@elonmusk Hi personal question, if you were starting in college again would you choose physics or engineering? Or would you go at all?
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · May 13, 2013
physics + a broad range of engineering. Worth taking humanities courses too, particularly history.

@elonmusk Elon, does a Solar City array on an average house generate enough power to charge a Tesla Model S without tapping into the grid?
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · May 13, 2013
Yes, usually several times more energy over the course of the year than is needed by the Model S

@elonmusk Can our "40kwh" cars be upgraded to 60k in a press of a button (nice to know if it is poss.)
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · May 13, 2013
Harder than that, but it is a software vs hardware change

Btw, vast majority of credit for SolarCity should go to Lyndon & Peter Rive & their awesome team. I'm just a small part.

@elonmusk @RaimisJ can it tether data from your smartphone?
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · May 12, 2013
Over the air upgrade coming in a few months to allow tethering (and other things).

Improving service and honing manufacturing efficiency are the biggest short term challenges. Not sales constrained.

@annabananastand It can do hands free right now. Being able to text people via voice while driving would be a good feature to add...

Mostly water or coffee at home. When I'm out, will have Macallan neat or vodka with something.

@elonmusk Just tried it. Had no idea I could do that in the car. Pretty sweet. Is LTE a software or hardware upgrade?
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · May 12, 2013
Yeah, we don't do a good job of telling people about this feature. Requires hardware unfortunately.

@elonmusk @dpinsen wouldn't put it past him. They do describe him as a former hedge fund manager.

@elonmusk What say you re Cory Johnson's comments about $TSLA: m.seekingalpha.com/article/1425271
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · May 12, 2013
People tell me Cory Johnson is a shill for the shorts. Don't know if true, but he sure behaves that way.

Hold down voice button & say "Play Amish Paradise by Weird Al Yankovic". Model S can play almost any song via Internet.

@elonmusk · May 12, 2013
Would also recommend the Cheese Shop, Spam or Fish License by Monty Python.

There is a way for the Tesla Model S to be recharged throughout the country faster than you could fill a gas tank.

@elonmusk Roadster 1291and I salute Tesla! Just remember us early adopters.
