Will the cybertruck be an ass kicker too?

Well, it’s basically a tank from the future that’s road-legal, so yeah

Do you use the handle Random9 on Steam? Probably won't want to answer publicly, I imagine.

Hey @elonmusk will SpaceX livestream the 15km hop. The excitement for this flight is unlike anything ive ever seen. Understandably its a test, but it would be a great way to help get more people excited about the program! More people have seen the 150m hop than the ITS animation!
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Nov 1, 2020
Sure, although it might be quite a short livestream! Lot can go wrong, but we’ll provide video, warts & all. You will see every frame that we do.

Hi Tom
Great stats. Would you have a tons-to-orbit graph ?

Curious if there's been any sub scale little RC planes or anything tested to make sure that control scheme actually works!? 🤔
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Nov 1, 2020
We’ve tested a sub-scale version in a wind tunnel with active aero closing the loop for stability, so it will probably work at scale, but reality tends to bite you on the ass

In the event that relight doesn't occur, will SN8 splashdown offshore, or some other plan to terminate the flight?
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Oct 31, 2020
Yeah. Although, if it fails right at the end, some landing pad repair will be needed to fill in the crater.

Understanding exactly how the body flaps control pitch, yaw & roll during descent, such that the ship is positioned well to relight, flip & land, would be a big win

Stable, controlled descent with body flaps would be great. Transferring propellant feed from main to header tanks & relight would be a major win.
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Oct 31, 2020
But, a RUD right off launch pad is also possible. Fortunately, SN9 is almost ready.

A stable bellyflop and a Raptor relight would be a huge win. More than enough data to sort out any subsequent wobbly landing attempt.
However, it's going to be on all of us regulars to set expectations as a preemptive strike against drive-by media "Elon rocket boom" headlines.

That’s quite a quick turnaround. Two more weeks & the other 2/3 interventions cut back significantly?

Faults will never be zero, but at some point the probability of a fault will be far lower than that of the average human

Elon the update feels 10X better than the prior version. How does this UI enhance the actual improvements on the road?
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Oct 31, 2020
We measure this primarily in intervention probability. This update addressed several issues, resulting in perhaps ~1/3 fewer interventions. Many of the improvements consist of fixing silly bugs vs grand eureka moments. True for most beta releases in my experience.

My top 3 impressions on #FSDBeta that we’ve been testing for the past week.
1- Impressive
2- Easy to manage
3- .11 noticeably better than .10
@elonmusk,
My prediction... When all is fine tuned for final public release, it will solidify Tesla’s lead forward even more years.
🙏
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Oct 31, 2020
Thanks to a great Autopilot/AI team working super hard!
Doing “neural nets” without testing them against reality has led some groups to overestimate what they’re doing. Reality is the hardest sim.
