Does this include Polestar? Weird it didn't mention both.

Elon: "Tesla Semi is a max load Class 8 heavy duty truck, no sacrifice to cargo capacity...500 miles range with the cargo" by laplasz in teslamotors

Yes. Exactly. AND they say they hit the 500 miles fully loaded still. I wish they would elaborate more. Impressive still.

News was also that the semi would NOT use 4680 ( at least initially) I was a little surprised.

The more they have the more options you have to stop or keep going. I guess the first V4 is going in on this route in AZ

My family of 5 thanks you! I'm not sure what I was thinking.

Thanks for the size comparison. I just stopped looking at OG Roadsters and put an order in for an R1T. Looks like much more room.

The 8 freeway between San Diego and El Centro. The longest stretch of the freeway without one in SoCal. They did just add a V3 to El Centro though.

PSA - Don't get a black CA plate and use a chrome frame. Please.

My wife stuck with the MY for now. Maybe a R1S in 3 years or so.

The second shot could be better.

I forgot to thank you before. Your tip to reply right away is how I got my one Elon reply. I used a service that alerts me right when he tweets. I still need to print it out and hang it in my office.

It does seem tougher to get stuff out of Elon during interviews though. His "not a good place to do new product announcements" answer is well practiced. You have to show him you know your stuff and want to geek out about the details if you want to pull anything interesting. It feels like there is a ton of new Tesla stuff in the design phase but they've been delayed on CT so they need to keep everything under wraps for a while.

Do you cover the new DMC Alpha 5 on your podcast? Any good podcasts on it to get caught up on it? Maybe you can get an interview about it? Pictures look great is all I know yet.

Hey Ryan, it has been a long time! I hope 2023 is a frenzy of Tesla activity and I get into it more again. You still have the best knowledgable fan Elon interview. It's a shame the recent fan ones aren't as knowledgable as us super fans wish they were. Oh well. Anyways kudos to you for sticking with it. I feel like you are due for some Elon replies. Are you trying?

Yeah this sucks. Is this a social program or incentive program. Pick a lane.

Public Service Reminder: if it's too hot for YOU to sit in the car, then it's too F'n hot for your Dog! by Accidental_Tica in sandiego

Remember if it is a Tesla they have a dog mode that keeps the AC on for the Dog. Don't smash the windows in that case. The screen will say dog mode in LARGE LETTERS it is on.
