Optimus Maximus

Ship 42 is being stacked on top of Booster 22 at Pad 2 in Starbase. The full Flight 15 vehicle is coming together. The booster rolled out to the pad first, and now the ship goes on top. Next up: the first attempt to catch both stages with the tower.

Finland is now the 11th European country to approve Tesla FSD. Per Tesla Owners Silicon Valley, just 4 more would put it in reach of 65% of the EU's population. Europe is coming around.

Grok 4.7 is now in Kiro, built by xAI for multi-hour tasks. Its Terminal-Bench 4.0 score jumped from 20.3% to 37.6% at the same price. That's a serious leap.

Tesla tests entire Megapack sites before they touch the grid. Its CHIL system simulates faults, frequency changes, even a tree falling on a line. At Melbourne Renewable Energy Hub it validated 444 Megapacks: 600 MW / 1.6 GWh, months ahead of schedule.

More than $24 billion. That's what SpaceX plans to put into a new supercompute facility at Starbase, generating its own power off the public grid. Plus $220M for Brownsville's water. Growth that gives back.

A Powerwall owner manages his home's energy from the Tesla app, which shows how the battery saves him money throughout the day. Storage done right.

26 Starlink V3 satellites at about 1 Tbps each. That's roughly the capacity of 10 Falcon 9 V2 Mini launches, on one Starship. Next up on Flight 15: an attempt to catch both stages for the first time.

FSD has driven Nic Cruz Patane for 25 of the 38 hours since he set off on his road trip, now 1,700 miles in. Long drives used to be a test of endurance. Now the car carries most of the load and you arrive fresh. teapawt.net/niccruzpatane/status/2…

"As far as I know, there's only one person in the world who could do that." Jensen Huang on what Elon built at Colossus in Memphis. Coming from the man whose chips power it, that carries weight.

29 days from finishing the Bastrop tunnel to breaking ground in San Antonio. The Boring Company's pace is the real product here.

Elon's vision for Optimus goes well beyond the factory floor. With Tesla and Neuralink working together, people who have lost an arm or a leg could one day attach an Optimus limb. Not just operating a robot hand, but replacing limbs. This one matters.

50 Tesla Semis are on their way to Chicago. It's the city's first batch, now en route for delivery. Seeing electric Class 8 trucks arrive by the dozen in the Midwest says a lot about where freight is heading.

Tesla Robotaxi now runs 24/7 in every city it serves, from Austin to Miami. No shifts, no closing time. That's the point of autonomy.

"You can wear away the keys on your keyboard just with typing." Elon on why robot fingers are so hard: ours constantly self-repair, so they last for decades. Robot fingers don't. That durability problem is exactly what the Optimus hand has to solve.

More Tesla Megapacks are rolling into Colossus 1 in Memphis. The expansion permits are turning into real hardware on site. Grid-scale storage feeding one of the biggest AI supercomputers on the planet.

ship 42 is out of the barn and heading to the pad. next up: catching both stages. can't wait.

SpaceX just unveiled a $50 billion supercomputing campus in Arizona. 9 buildings in Cochise County, up to 6 GW, ~493,000 sq ft each. Construction starts 2027. The scale SpaceX builds at is unreal.

Qualcomm's CEO just praised SpaceX's next big build. Cristiano Amon: SpaceX is building a nationwide 5G terrestrial network in the US, "among the largest deployments of infrastructure" in the country. Starlink is turning into a telecom giant.

Tesla just showed what FSD means for John Foppe. Born without arms, he has driven with his feet his whole life. Now FSD Supervised in his Model Y takes him to work and to see his daughter 500+ miles away. Technology is finally adapting to people.

Starlink just went deep into Borneo. Indonesia's Central Kalimantan government handed out 1,783 Starlink terminals to bring internet to remote communities with no network coverage. The last offline places are getting connected.
