No cross feed. It would help performance, but is not needed for these numbers.

No physical changes to the engine. This thrust increase is based on delta qual tests. It is just tougher than we thought.

@elonmusk Max performance numbers are for expendable launches. Subtract 30% to 40% for reusable booster payload.

@elonmusk current or future versions for F9?
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Apr 30, 2016
Basically current, but higher throttle setting. Good performance of recent launches allows us to reduce 3 sigma reserve margin.

.@elonmusk did you see Zuck's comments on AI fool.com/investing/gene…? FB's bet on AI is clearly clouding his judgement :(
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Apr 30, 2016
Zuck doesn't (yet) have a deep tech understanding of AI. I spend hours every week being educated by world's best researchers.

@gdoehne JCSat is pushing the envelope as a very hot and fast mission, so will land on the droneship. Next land landing in a few months.

@MrBoylan Duplicates will be cancelled. Max of 2 will be delivered to any one person. Only ~5% of orders are 2, so speculation unlikely.

@MrBoylan System scan detected only 0.2% of orders with same email and physical address. Those have been purged.

So excited re: new @TeslaMotors, but I hear there's a 5-week wait to get in shop if there's a problem... Seems like an issue, @elonmusk, no?
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Apr 30, 2016
Temporary spike in some areas due to X 3rd row seat recall. Should be sorted by June.

Hey @elonmusk - did this guy really reserve 20 Model 3s? Or are dupe orders cancelled automatically? seekingalpha.com/article/396963…

@erothenberg checking into it ...
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Apr 29, 2016
@erothenberg Simple answer is that there just aren't many used Teslas available. Demand >> supply.
