Try being truthful the public will believe you again. by Elon Musk

The CR braking result is inconsistent with other reviewers, but might indicate that some Model 3s have longer braking distances than others, if so, we will address this at our expense. May just be a question of firmware tuning, in which case can be solved by an OTA software update.

Super huge thanks to everyone that helped with this project, as mentioned in prior posts, once fully operational (demo system rides will be free), the system will always give priority to pods for pedestrians & cyclists for less than the cost of a bus ticket.

Over time, I think we will probably see a closer merger of biological intelligence and digital intelligence, it’s mostly about the bandwidth, the speed of the connection between your brain and the digital version of yourself, particularly output.

We decided to send something unusual, something that made us feel.

It would be better if we mitigated the effects of global warming and had cleaner air in our cities and were n’t drilling for vast amounts of coal, oil and gas in parts of the world that are problematic and will run out anyway, and if we were a multiplanetary species, that would reduce the possibility of some single event, man-made or natural, taking out civilisation as we know it, as it did the dinosaurs.

Production grows exponentially, so Aug should be 100 cars and Sept above 1,500, looks like we can reach 20,000 Model 3 cars per month in Dec.

We can't do this well if Tesla and SolarCity are different companies, which is why we need to combine and break down the barriers inherent to being separate companies.

Has this idea been bandied about with our larger shareholders, institutional shareholders? Yes, there have been discussions and I think some of them see it as a natural thing to do.

If there’s ever sort of an apocalyptic scenario, of some kind, hypothetically, you just press the bioweapon defense mode button, this is a real button.

The rocket landed instead of putting a hole in the ship or tipping over, we're real excited about that.

I do think there was some hubris there with the X. by Elon Musk

I do think there was some hubris there with the X.

That will be quite exciting, in terms of the first flight to Mars, we are hoping to do that around 2025.

Mars is the next natural step. In fact, it’s the only planet we have a shot at establishing a self-sustaining city on, once we do establish such a city, there will be strong forcing function for the improvement of space flight technology that will then enable us to establish colonies elsewhere in the solar system and ultimately extend beyond our solar system.
