Any plans to build charging stations in Texas in 2019 ? (San Antonio / Austin in particular) The map shows there are several planned, but 2018 is over and none of those were built (and yes, I know there are notes for each that schedule might slip).

@elonmusk · Dec 26, 2018

Definitely. All major highways in Texas will have Superchargers, all the way to Brownsville & across Mexico.

We need one for the costal road in the north of Norway. Most beautiful costal road.

Even Romania? :)

@elonmusk · Dec 26, 2018

Yes. Supercharger coverage will extend to 100% of Europe next year. From Ireland to Kiev, from Norway to Turkey.

@elonmusk Missing some locations out of Dublin, Ireland south towards Waterford. Badly needs some as no Ccs on that route (that works!). Any plans for more here? Should be in a model x in 2 weeks or so!

@elonmusk · Dec 26, 2018

Most people don’t know that the Tesla Supercharger network allows easy long distance travel throughout USA, most of Europe, Canada and China

We are dramatically increasing Tesla Superchargers within cities & working with landlords to add home charging to apartment buildings

@tesla @elonmusk we love our 3 but we have noticed an issue since the recent updates. Can you look into reconfiguring the location of the homelink and driver profile tabs. They are too close together and people could activate their homelink instead of the driver profiles.

In Ontario savings is approximately $1400 for every 10000km driven.

They still use brake pads. The car still stops with friction between pads and rotors. Where there is friction, there is wear. Where there is wear, there is need for replacement parts. They may not need replacement as often (due to some reg. braking), but they need replacement.

@elonmusk · Dec 26, 2018

This is incorrect. Vast majority of vehicle motion is returned to the battery, as the electric motors act like a generator in reverse. Brake pads on a Tesla literally never need to be replaced for lifetime of the car.

And, because electricity costs much less than gasoline, a Model 3 can cost about $1000 less per year to operate. Because it’s electric, there are no oil changes, smog checks, tuneups, fuel filter, or brake pad replacements.

@elonmusk · Dec 26, 2018

Most importantly, every electric car, Tesla or otherwise, matters to the environment we all share. Every time someone chooses electric, the future gets a little bit brighter! If not Tesla, please take a look at these other options:

There are also many state & local incentives, for example California offers $2500, plus $800 from utilities & access to carpool lane, Colorado $4000, etc tesla.com/support/incent…

Reminder to US buyers that the $7500 tax credit cuts in half in 5 days! Order online at Tesla.com to see if there is any inventory left in your region or visit Tesla stores.

Are the nozzles of the Raptors built taking into account the need to fly engines forward when entering the atmosphere at the first or second space velocity? That is, will the Raptors be a kind of heat shield?

@elonmusk · Dec 25, 2018

No, Raptors must be shielded during atmospheric entry. Although, maybe not ...

New @Tesla Autopilot mileage projections. Today it's over 1 billion miles. By end of next year, it'll be over 2.3 billion. All of us working in autonomous vehicle research want nothing more than to save lives. Happy holidays & good luck @karpathy @elonmusk hcai.mit.edu/tesla-autopilo…

Thanks, hope you have a good holiday! Your insight on autonomy is excellent.

@elonmusk could the Boring Machine tunnel carry transmission lines? Reduce ground resistance for high voltage to reach congested areas?

That was a good article. Based on the past few days, I can’t help but think there won’t be an ablative coating on Starship, which would be wild! All shine 🤩

Leeward side needs nothing, windward side will be activity cooled with residual (cryo) liquid methane, so will appear liquid silver even on hot side
