potential demand for Tesla Cybercab is going to be absolutely insane Simply because the value of full autonomy is unlike anything the automotive industry has ever seen before. And actually benefits every country with reducing unnecessary traffic, pollution in the cities and less congestion and the whole economy changes around it. Every country would want them because it's simply too big an opportunity to miss. Of course, the regulators will try to give them a hard time in the beginning, but they will eventually realize the massive economic growth it is going to bring to their country, and they will just make a way for it And Tesla is betting everything on this future. And the manufacturing for Cybercab is unlike anything ever done before Tesla is preparing to wind down Cybertruck production at Giga Texas to expand Cybercab manufacturing That's how serious Tesla is about scaling autonomy Because once you reach full autonomy, you're no longer just selling cars to people who want to drive You're providing transportation to potentially BILLIONS of people who simply want to get somewhere Every city, every country, every part of the world becomes a potential market The scale of demand Tesla is preparing for with Cybercab is unlike anything we've seen in the automotive industry

Elon Musk just revealed something huge about Grok's new SI training and inference infrastructure The engineering behind Starlink is now helping power the development of Grok SpaceXSI has completely rewritten Grok's reinforcement learning and inference software from scratch, replacing JAX and SGLang with its own system built primarily in C, with a little C++ And the most important part is where this engineering expertise comes from The new stack is built on the incredible work of the engineers who created Starlink's incredibly complex satellite network Elon explained: "At SpaceX, we write our own headers and calculate our own time (includes leap seconds). Not many people will know what this means, but those that do will appreciate it." Here's why that's significant SpaceX engineers build and control critical parts of their software themselves, even down to the code interfaces and precise time calculations needed for satellite operations This gives them much tighter control over how their systems operate, reducing unnecessary software dependencies and allowing them to optimize performance and reliability Now that same engineering philosophy is being applied to Grok

Japan just made history with Starlink, and the next time disaster strikes, it will help save lives Shizuoka Prefecture's official disaster app now works over satellite, the first local-government disaster app in Japan to do it, per Chunichi Shimbun What changes for residents: • App runs on docomo Starlink Direct, powered by SpaceX's Starlink Mobile, since Nov 9 • Works with no cell signal, in mountains, on islands, or when a quake knocks out towers • Get official alerts and find the nearest open evacuation shelter • Included on all docomo plans, no sign-up needed • Tested in Kawanehon town in October before launch Disaster apps have always had one fatal flaw: they need a signal, and the network is often the first thing to go down in an earthquake or tsunami. Now the warning reaches your phone straight from space The app's developer runs disaster apps for 20 other municipalities and plans to bring this to them too The next time the towers fall, the sky stays connected. Starlink becomes a lifeline

Elon Musk just revealed a massive update on Grok 4.8, and SpaceXSI has completely rebuilt its reinforcement learning and inference infrastructure from scratch The engineering team has abandoned JAX and SGLang, rewriting the entire RL and inference stack in C/C++ Here’s where Grok 4.8 stands: • Pre-training is complete • Major cleanup of supervised fine-tuning data • Reinforcement learning now underway • Evaluation scores are starting to climb • Soft rollout to Grok Bot users planned for later this week And Elon also gave another imp update about Grok 4.8: “Grok 4.8 will bear no resemblance to 4.7 (thankfully)” He also explained why the development took longer than expected: “It is not yet incredible, but, this time, the foundations are built right, so I expect it to evolve to be something special” This is a fundamental engineering overhaul, not just another model upgrade SpaceXSI has rewritten the underlying infrastructure to build a much stronger foundation for Grok’s future development. And the first Grok Bot users are expected to get their hands on it this week

Elon Musk has laid out the most ambitious mission ever in human history, one that changes the entire future for the human race: “Our mission is to build the systems and technologies necessary to make life multiplanetary, to understand the true nature of the universe, and to extend the light of consciousness to the stars”

I know we're going to hit abundance with superintelligence and robotics, but we still have the biggest problem in the world to solve, and it's not something a machine can solve. It has to be done by humans People are having fewer babies. The world is dying of old age Do you know how depressing this is? We're entering the most interesting time of our lives, an age of abundance like nothing we've ever experienced. It's going to be 100x greater than anything humanity has experienced before, and it's going to fundamentally change our lives And sadly, there will be fewer humans to experience all the good things humanity is about to inherit

Tesla Robotaxi's Austin service area is now bigger than Waymo's Phoenix metro zone Robotaxi in Austin: 443 sq mi Waymo in Phoenix: 356 sq mi Roughly 24% larger, in a single city Waymo spent years building out Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, Gilbert and Chandler. Tesla's Austin map already covers more ground And it keeps expanding with every software update, no new hardware on the road required Once, driverless rides were limited to a few city blocks. Now, they cover entire metro areas

Tesla is exploring LASER wipers for the future of autonomous driving Tesla VP of Vehicle Engineering Lars Moravy just explained to Jay Leno how Tesla's patented laser technology could help keep autonomous-driving cameras clear Instead of using lasers to clean the entire windshield, Tesla is exploring focusing them ONLY on the areas directly in front of the cameras “If you fire them in a focused area, you can clean the sheet of water and create a barrier” This is particularly important for autonomous vehicles, where keeping the cameras clear of rain, water, and debris is critical for safe navigation And the idea is pretty simple Why clean an entire windshield with lasers when you only need to keep the areas in front of the cameras clear? Tesla is rethinking even the smallest components of a vehicle as it works toward fully autonomous transportation

Starship is the most extraordinary machines humanity has ever built A spacecraft designed to turn the impossible into infrastructure, carrying people, cargo, and eventually human civilization beyond Earth For most of human history, reaching orbit was something extraordinary Now SpaceX is working to make it as routine as air travel And with Starship, the ambition goes far beyond reaching orbit It's about making humanity a multiplanetary civilization and laying the foundation for life among the stars

On this day in 2018, Elon Musk's Tesla Roadster reached its farthest point from the Sun for the first time, approximately 154.7 MILLION miles away, beyond the orbit of Mars The same Roadster Elon once drove to work was launched into space aboard Falcon Heavy's historic maiden flight on February 6, 2018, with Starman sitting behind the wheel And more than 8 years later, it's still cruising through space A car that once drove on Earth's roads is now traveling around the Sun One of the most extraordinary test payloads in spaceflight history

Tesla's massive $10.1 BILLION Project Crystal Sun is taking shape in Texas New drone footage shows major earthworks underway at the proposed factory site, with large areas being cleared, equipment staging, and land leveling already visible The scale of the project is very huge: • $10.1 billion in planned investment • Approximately 3,000 acres • 9,712 permanent jobs projected • Production targeted for early 2029 Tesla plans to manufacture everything from silicon ingots and wafers to solar cells and finished solar panels This is a massive step toward scaling Tesla's solar energy manufacturing in the United States

SpaceXSI is testing another major improvement to Grok Bot's car rental search Grok Bot is getting the ability to show detailed information about rental car pickup locations directly inside the app Here's what's coming: • Search and compare rental cars directly in chat Check whether a rental desk is open now • View full weekly operating hours • Get the exact pickup address • Access the rental desk's phone number Instead of jumping between multiple websites to find a rental car, check availability, and figure out where to pick it up, Grok Bot is bringing everything together in one place The feature is currently in testing and isn't publicly available yet SpaceXSI is now turning Grok Bot into an very powerful personal travel assistant, making everything from finding a rental car to arranging your trip very simple

Tesla VP of Vehicle Engineering Lars Moravy just put Tesla's extraordinary manufacturing scale into perspective during his conversation with Jay Leno “You know, a lot of people don't realize that Tesla is the largest selling luxury vehicle in the world now” And the numbers behind Tesla's growth are absolutely staggering Tesla has now manufactured over 10 MILLION electric vehicles worldwide Just look at the progress: • March 2020: 1 million vehicles • July 2026: 10 million vehicles Tesla went from its first million vehicles to 10 million in just six years That's a tenfold increase in cumulative production When Tesla crossed the milestone, the company celebrated: “Produced our 10 millionth Tesla globally at Fremont Factory this week!” From proving electric vehicles could compete with combustion-engine cars to manufacturing millions of them across factories in the United States, China, and Germany

Grok Bot weekly limit reset has officially landed for all Grok Bot users earlier 🥳 SpaceXSI just officially clarified it have more fun…..many improvements landed, in just a couple of hours and it keeps getting better

Jay Leno just experienced Tesla FSD (Supervised) in the new Model Y L, with Tesla's Lars Moravy and Franz von Holzhausen riding along And one moment during the drive was absolutely incredible “We got it on self-driving mode! I'm not touching anything” Then an ambulance approached with its sirens on Without Jay touching the steering wheel, the Model Y L recognized the emergency vehicle and automatically pulled over to let it pass The entire maneuver happened on its own This is what makes Tesla FSD so extraordinary It's not just following lanes or navigating roads It's recognizing what's happening in the real world, responding to emergency vehicles, and making driving decisions in real time. And Jay got to experience it firsthand

SpaceXSI just literally gave everyone Grok Bot reset 🥳 Elon Musk had a roundtable review with the SpaceXSI Grok Bot engineering team, and within just a couple of hours, fixes started rolling out, usage limits were reset, and major improvements started landing All of this happened in just a few hours The speed at which SpaceXSI is moving is absolutely insane

Elon Musk explains one of the most terrifying existential threats humanity faces: a massive comet striking Earth and potentially wiping out civilization “Earth does not currently have any ability to stop asteroids. Now with Starship, we then have some ability to stop an asteroid actually, technically, a comet would be the real danger Because there are billions, if not more than billions, maybe trillions of objects that are in the outer solar system, with very long-period comets An example that most people are probably aware of is Halley’s Comet. It’s slightly under once per century that Halley’s Comet comes by. Many comets have very long periods that we simply don’t know exist And for example, the comet Shoemaker-Levy when that hit Jupiter, it made a hole in Jupiter the size of Earth. So if that did hit Earth, game over "Everything’s dead" So there’s always some risk of such a thing occurring, and the probable lifespan of life is just much greater if we’re a multi-planet and ultimately multi-stellar civilization”
