@elonmusk Should I cancel my norwegian 3 order and wait for HW3? Or is it still planned as easily swappable?
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Dec 11, 2018
No need to wait. It’s super easy to swap the HW2 and HW3 computers. Sensors are the same.

Love that people are buying a Tesla for the product itself, even if they don’t believe in climate change.
Not everyone can be convinced about global warming, but if an electric car is simply the best product, they don’t need to be.
InsideEVs@InsideEVs· Dec 11, 2018This @detroitnews automotive critic and active race car driver doesn't believe in climate change. He even bleeds oil. So, why did he buy a @Tesla #Model3?

Elon, when will you learn to record all interviews either only audio or have one of your communication team filming the complete interaction. You would also have hours of video that you can use to use and release at will.
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Dec 11, 2018
You’re right. There was a ton of footage with many people at Tesla that would be great to share. Longer pieces like we did with @MKBHD tell a more interesting story.

Elon Musk had to step down as Tesla’s chair. So did he lose power? He handpicked his successor, and when asked about her watching over him, he says: “That's not realistic… I'm the largest shareholder in the company.” Does he want to be chair again? “No.” cbsn.ws/2Sxewz0

60 Mins actually had several hours of interview time, which they distilled to 14 mins. Many stories could been told with that time. This was accurate as viewed from an Upper East Side Manhattan dinner party.

Are EU regulations a constraint here? Is Navigate’s current version available in EU countries? And most importantly, is there any perspective of full autonomy being allowed there in less than 5 years?
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Dec 9, 2018
We are awaiting EU regulatory approval for this release

Is this part og EAP or does it require FSD?
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Dec 9, 2018
Full self-driving option is required with the Tesla designed hardware 3 computer. This is a simple plug in replacement for the NVidia computer, but has over 10X the image processing ability.

If you have a Tesla built in past 2 years, definitely try Navigate on Autopilot. It will blow your mind. Automatically passes slow cars & takes highway interchanges & off-ramps.
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Dec 9, 2018
Already testing traffic lights, stop signs & roundabouts in development software. Your Tesla will soon be able to go from your garage at home to parking at work with no driver input at all.

I thought the Roadster was basically a Lotus Elise modified to EV? Regardless, the it looks similar to the Tzero.
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Dec 9, 2018
It was supposed to be, but that was a dumb decision. In the end, Roadster only had 7% of parts in common with the Lotus Elise or any other car.

Tesla history trivia: we didn’t actually come up with the Tesla Motors name. Bought trademark off Brad Siewert for $75k in late 2004. He’d originally filed for it in 1994. Our alternative name was Faraday, which was used by a competitor several years later.
60 Minutes@60Minutes· Dec 7, 2018What's in a name? For Tesla, $75,000. Elon Musk says he had to buy his company's name—and tells Lesley Stahl how he pronounces "Tesla."
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Dec 9, 2018
Major credit to AC Propulsion for the tzero electric sports car 1997-2003 that inspired Tesla Roadster. Without that, Tesla wouldn’t exist or would have started much later.

Neat, learned something today.
For the longest time I thought it was just a callback / nod to Nikola Tesla, the guy that invented the electric AC current system.
Which is ironic since you make electric cars lol.

Yeah, we wanted to name our company after Tesla, the great scientist/engineer, but use of the Tesla name in automotive was already trademarked in the US, Europe & later China.
