I see some people incorrectly claiming that the Tesla Semis 500 mile range isn't enough. Average daily miles: • Long-haul drivers: 400-600 miles • Regional drivers: 300-500 miles • Local/delivery drivers: 100-300 miles Not every Class 8 semi runs near the full 80,000–82,000 lb limit. The Tesla Semi’s 500-mile range is based on an 82k gross weight, so carrying lighter loads, like 30k or 40k lbs for example, will extend range beyond 500 miles. Longer routes are also sometimes shaped by FMCSA Hours of Service rules, which cap driving at 11 hours in a 14-hour window, meaning drivers typically wouldn't exceed ~600 miles per day anyway. Drivers must also take a 30-minute break after 8 hours, during which the Tesla Semi can recharge up to about 60% of its range at a Megacharger. The Long Range Tesla Semi will be good for longer routes, while the Standard Range with 325 miles of range will be great for more local/regional deliveries. Transportation is the largest source of emissions in the U.S. at 28%. The Tesla Semi will not only save operators money over time, especially if you include state incentives, but the truck will be much better for air quality. PepsiCo has been testing Tesla Semis for the past few years. They said that the drivers who operate the company's Tesla Semis have reported that they don't want to go back to driving a diesel truck.

Naval Ravikant: “The future will be almost all startups” “I firmly believe that the efficient size of a company is shrinking very rapidly, and so the future will be almost all startups.” In the clip below from a 2012 interview, Naval speculates that information technology will reverse the centralizing force of economies of scale following the Industrial Revolution. “I think the contract work trend is going to increase, and I think the size of your average company is going to decrease. I think we’re going to see more and more billion dollar businesses built by four or five people, and it’ll stay at that.” He doesn’t think we’ll see many more companies like Facebook or Google with tens of thousands of employees: “I think any entrepreneur worth their salt could today build Facebook with a few hundred people… Facebook and Google are in the situation that large companies end up in where the founders know that 80% of the people are not really needed, they just don’t know which 80%.”

Entrepreneurship will be an enormous catalyst for solving our grand environmental & social challenges. Tools like AI agents will democratize economic growth, especially for perennial learners. Check out my conversation with @zeushernandez01 for more: youtu.be/CW2YaRZK5MY?si=IJTE…

Sustainable Abundance is the only viable path forward for humanity. Unsustainable abundance slams us into an environmental brick wall. Sustainable scarcity undermines social stability & liberties. Thanks to @TheNavThethi for a great discussion below: youtu.be/8RkhderL51c?si=Hg9e…

The future isn’t doom—it’s abundant. AI can liberate us from scarcity… if we get it right. I sat down with @AiSociallyConsc to talk #AI and our journey together on the road to #SustainableAbundance. Check out the episode below🎙️👇 youtu.be/9X-N57RpzZU?si=5jnG… #FutureOfWork #Podcast

This is a big deal. For more than a century we've imagined sci-fi futures with robotaxies, autonomous deliveries, and humanoid robots providing services at home and the workplace. We are the first generation to see it happen. What future will we imagine (and build) next?

World's first autonomous delivery of a car! This Tesla drove itself from Gigafactory Texas to its new owner's home ~30min away — crossing parking lots, highways & the city to reach its new owner

This. #Sustainable Abundance is within our reach, and the right path for humanity, economics, and our relationship with the planet.

I was on the Australian news! We talked about building a world of #sustainable abundance, and changing mindsets from focusing on dystopian futures to envisioning what could go right, so we can focus our energy on build towards something great. youtu.be/LKx7KDH-hHo

Congrats to @SpaceX on an amazing booster catch today! While the #space industry may sound trivial to some, it enables so much for humanity, today and in our future. Reusability makes space cheaper to get to, enabling more #startups to innovate in our universe 🚀 🌌👏

A warehouse needed to hit 500 packages per hour (pph) so it deployed robots, which only hit 400pph. But still hit overall KPIs, because the workers made the robots do the hard jobs. Think holistically about KPIs and solve hard problems for workers, don't replace the easy stuff

I wondered how a @Waymo #Robotaxi would handle the windy roads out to West Portal from downtown SF. Turns out - no problem! 🤖🚕 It'll be interesting to see how quickly these will take over once the tech is ready at scale. As a rider, you get comfortable after about 10 seconds.

A world where #EV charging takes only a few minutes is not only close, it's happening today in China. This Li Auto minivan adds 310 miles in ~10 minutes. This is the catalyst for mass transition to EVs. We need to upgrade our power grids ASAP. insideevs.com/news/710508/li…
