Lars Moravy in new interview on why the @Tesla Model S and Model X were discontinued: "Every 5 years or so Euro NCAP updates their protocols. Looking forward, they are getting more stringent. Some of the IIHS stuff. We want to make the safety cars on the road, and that means always making structural updates. We were at the point where this platform, like it was never designed for the small overlap and the offset cases that exist now on Europe NCAP and IIHS. We made bandaids along the way to make sure it was being safe in those positions, but it was just like man it's going to be a massive overhaul. At the same time, going back to the room it was like we were talking about Optimus and like where do we put Optimus and it was like well we got to spend you know however many hundreds of millions of dollars to redo this in this factory, but we also need a pilot factory for Optimus. And it just kind of was like serendipitous. I think that the two things went hand in hand. You said who was the first one to bring it up. The future is autonomous. These cars were the first ones we designed. They're the least ready for that, you know, world. So, we got to move forward." Sounds like it just wasn't worth the investment, since it was likely going to cost several hundreds of millions to retool and redesign, and maybe even more to build a pilot Optimus factory somewhere else, when it would just make more sense to use the S/X space in the Fremont factory. (You can listen to the full interview in Ryan’s post below)

Today, we announced a $ 250m investment for our Giga Berlin Cell factory. This will enable 18GWh of annual 4680 cell production and create more than 1500 new jobs. Good news during challenging times for the German industry.

Launch rehearsal complete. During a flight-like countdown, more than 5,000 metric tonnes (11 million pounds) of propellant were loaded on the fully stacked Starship and Super Heavy V3 vehicles for the first time

Feature request for FSD. I want to be able to put my car into “learning mode” where I can make a voice note of what I want it to do and then do a demonstration and it learns it. Backing into the center of my garage is a great example. It always likes to pull into the garage vs backing in. Am I crazy or would people actually like this?

Our new 125 kW Basecharger is designed for longer dwell times and overnight charging of Semis. It's the "home charging" for heavy-duty fleets. It features a fully integrated design that eliminates the need for a separate AC-to-DC cabinet, simplifying installation. The 6 meter cable offers layout flexibility for all depots. Up to 3 Basechargers can be daisy-chained on a single breaker (sharing 125 kVA) to further reduce installation and operational costs.
