It's popping at the Fremont Delivery Center and our members are hard at work helping new owners understand how to use them. You will rarely see this many people in a dealership. @elonmusk 📸@rhoehn

How about worm gears for the rear flaps like the jack screws in planes with an upper rear elevator on their tails?
Could you make them strong enough because getting enough torque to drive them at such a high gear ratio wouldn't be a issue.
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Dec 30, 2019
Many ways to solve this problem, but the power requirements are much higher than aircraft control surfaces. When moving giant body flaps rapidly, achieving high power is much harder than high torque.

So we’re gonna see the plaid power train in action in a spacecraft before we see it in a production tesla? 🤣😂🤣
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Dec 30, 2019
Building prototypes is relatively easy, volume production is hard

need to scale things up that much and more that if your going to have to practically make a completely different spacecraft you might as well just Make a whole new one without the limitations of the legacy design.

What's your top prediction for Tesla in 2023 or 2024?
(4 years out like that one was.)

Are you still involved in most of the design for spacex?
Elon Musk

Yeah, engineering is ~90% of my time at SpaceX & about ~60% at Tesla

May 2013: Elon Musk says the 4th Tesla model should have base price of ~$40,000. Car reporter: "Also, it may cure blindness & walk on water.” CleanTechnica: "the $40,000 number definitely seems reasonable, especially if it’s offering a range of 200 miles!"

@Erdayastronaut · Dec 30, 2019
🤯 and are there separate sub systems / motors for redundancy on each flap too? I love the use of Tesla parts on rockets. That’s just the coolest and it’ll be even cooler when SpaceX parts are put on Tesla’s 🤤 #2020roadster 😍
