@elonmusk Finally took the plunge and ordered a Model X 😃 only 1 car but if enough of us buy them then the planet has a chance 🌈

Thanks! Everything we make on the expensive cars goes into developing more affordable cars.

Did you know that Martin has a new EV startup? electrek.co/2017/05/10/tes…
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Jun 9, 2017
Heard about it. Our experience doing projects with big car companies was not great. They move slowly & are reluctant to adopt new tech.

I've written two forward-looking master plans, but haven't told the Tesla history of how we got there. Lot of drama … Prob worth doing?

Mostly right. The feasibility study Martin commissioned about the Lotus Elise was dead wrong though. Only 7% of parts ended up being common.

Will ITS use a suicide burn to minimize gravity losses or hover to land in the launch mount more accurately?
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Jun 9, 2017
Slow at first, then very fast. Def not hover.

SpaceX lands Really Fast. Frighteningly so. They never come to a stop, they are still decelerating as the landing gear is touching down.
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Jun 9, 2017
The faster, the better. Gravity losses.

you didn’t found Tesla, Martin and Mark did, in July ‘03, months before the EV1s were crushed. x.com/elonmusk/statu…
Elon Musk@elonmusk· Jun 9, 2017Few people know that we started Tesla when GM forcibly recalled all electric cars from customers in 2003 & then crushed them in a junkyard
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Jun 9, 2017
Was no "company", just a (wrong) biz plan to commercialize ACP's Tzero car. No tech or IP, no employees & didn't even own Tesla Motors name.

Disruption certainly. Deep AI is the real risk, though, not automation.

#Norway exempts EVs from taxes and payments gathered from polluting vehicles. That's exactly a strategy that most countries could adopt.

Nothing to do w govt incentives or making money. Thought 90% prob of losing it all (almost did many times), but it was the only chance.

Unfortunately I can stand at the Tesla superchargers and see the coal power plant. Play the shell game all you want these are coal powered.
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Jun 9, 2017
All Superchargers are being converted to solar/battery power. Over time, almost all will disconnect from the electricity grid.

Long way to go, but we've convinced most of the auto industry to start EV programs & gave them all our patents to help, so that's something

Since big car companies were killing their EV programs, the only chance was to create an EV company, even tho it was almost certain to fail
