Bezos: I'll build a lander that carries 5 tons, I want $6B. I have no intention to use this thing for anything else.
@elonmusk : I'll build a lander that I intend to use for all sorts of valuable reasons. It'll carry around 100 tons. I only need $3B, I'll cover the rest myself.

Jeff Bezos has reportedly invested in anti-aging startup Labs. Scientists will have a $1M salary & will research on how cells age and how to reverse them.

How does Tesla have the best car speaker system in the world despite having un-branded speakers?
The secret sauce: It's Tesla's proprietary audio codec.
Tesla Audio developed their own audio codec in-house and has been improving it via over-the-air software updates.

it’s true. @elonmusk was wrong in 2015 when he said Tesla could be worth $700 billion in 10 years.
It turns out they only needed five.

Large incumbent carmakers sell their cars at low to zero true margin. Most of their profit is selling replacement parts to their fleet, of which 70% to 80% are past warranty.
Like razors & blades.
New car companies lack this advantage. Also lack sales & service infrastructure.

Great read. Still gutted they canned this.
“At a relatively low volume, we would have to sell the car at $210,000”
Makes Tesla’s achievements all the more astounding…

This is awesome!!! What a legend. Of course Korolev comes up a LOT in our video about Soviet Rocket engine history. I still really want to get the full story of Elon trying to buy a Dnepr / R-36M from Russia, because it'd be a fun little anecdote for this video!
AlmostSoberRussian@SoberAlmost· Sep 5, 2021Musk gave Sergei Korolyov's grandson a tour of the SpaceX factory. "We are incredibly grateful for the invitation,hospitality," said Andrey Korolev,"and an unforgettable almost hour-long personal meeting.Continue to move the world forward,Mr. Musk!"

When listening to Elon speak, it really is like he is counting back from the end of his useful lifespan to now and estimating all the steps and deadlines needed to become multi-planetary. It is a race against the clock for him. For all of us. 🪦

This is obv debatable, but I’d call anything with ~300 miles / ~500 km of true usable travel distance “long range”, beyond that “very long range”

It sounds like Tesla is more focused on Iron based chemistries compared to what we heard at Battery Day.
Has that been driven by production challenges scaling high nickel cells, constraints on supply chain / raw materials, or something else?
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Sep 3, 2021
There are vast amounts of iron (and lithium) on Earth, but much less nickel.
For global industry to scale battery production to ~10 TWh/year, it needs to be mostly iron.
Higher energy density of Nickel only needed for very long range vehicles & aircraft.

Yes.
Physics of large cells means distance from cooling loop to center of cell is high, so harder to prevent hotspots.
Then, pressure & heat released from large cell in weak bag make it impossible to stop whole pack from burning.
Pretty basic.

Our new cell is 46mm diameter with steel shell & even that was huge challenge for propagation resistance
