It’s unlikely that Tesla would have sold 2.7 million cars last year even if everyone loved Musk as they only had installed capacity of 2.35 million units.
The main issue is that money losing compliance EVs are being dumped on the market cheaper than Teslas.
Per Lyngemark@perlyngemark· Aug 3, 2024@wholemars Perhaps sales could have been 50% more if he didn’t tweet so crazy nonsense?

Other companies dumping EVs at massive negative gross margin is a problem, but not one that will last

Elon Musk@elonmusk· Aug 3, 2024The amount of work required to simplify the Raptor engine, internalize secondary flow paths and add regenerative cooling for exposed components was staggering.
As a result Raptor 3 doesn’t require any heat shield, eliminating heat shield mass & complexity, as well as the fire

Just did a walkthrough of the Tesla supercompute cluster at Giga Texas (aka Cortex).
This will be ~100k H100/H200 with massive storage for video training of FSD & Optimus.
Great work by the Tesla team!

Just when you thought it wasn’t possible to make yet another major advance — the latest SpaceX Raptor iteration.
Additive manufacturing internally integrates so many formerly discrete components… Taking “no part is the best part” to the extreme.

Thrust: 280tf
Specific impulse: 350s
Engine mass: 1525kg
Engine + vehicle-side commodities and hardware mass : 1720kg

Important to note that the induced mass (mass required by a given engine design that is not the engine itself) of Raptor 3, while far better than Raptor 2, still has a lot of room for improvement.
Thrust will exceed 300 tons with Raptor 3.x (thrust/mass>200), enabling 10,000 tons of thrust at liftoff and there might be up to 5 sec of Isp gain over time.
Getting close to the limit of known physics.

Biden-Harris' CHNV Airplane Importation program was targeted to punish those who vote against the Dems
-- 121% of the burden went to Red States.
Since CHNV began (Jan 2023) there have been:
- 280,000 more to Red States.
- 49,000 fewer to Blue.
That's about:
- 58,000 per month
