@lukealization Max is just 3X Merlin thrust and min is ~40% of 1 Merlin. Two outer engines shut off before the center does.

Yeah, this was a three engine landing burn, so triple deceleration of last flight. That's important to minimize gravity losses.

Rocket reentry is a lot faster and hotter than last time, so odds of making it are maybe even, but we should learn a lot either way

Tesla is increasing the production ramp as fast as possible, but I'd recommend ordering a Model 3 soon if you want 2018 delivery

Have been reviewing end of line production quality personally. Slowed things down temporarily, but it's for the best.

F9 thrust at liftoff will be raised to 1.71M lbf later this year. It is capable of 1.9M lbf in flight.

Falcon Heavy thrust will be 5.1M lbf at liftoff -- twice any rocket currently flying. It's a beast...
