17 years, 4 cars, 1,026,976 km, all mine and all real numbers, not brochure values. The two Peugeot diesels burned 35,280 litres over 659,000 km, that is almost 30 tonnes of fuel, and at today's €2.392/l in Bavaria it would cost €84,389. The same 659,000 km in my 2019 Model 3 would cost about €42,000 charged at home, losses included. A short thread for everybody who still thinks EVs are "too expensive" to run 🧵
Most of the working satellites in orbit now belong to one company, while Europe's answer, IRIS², stays mostly on paper until the end of the decade.
Elon Musk reposted a post highlighting the massive scale of SpaceX’s Starlink satellite network.
As of October 31, 2026, according to third-party data compiled using CelesTrak, there were 16,848 active satellites orbiting Earth, of which 11,184 were Starlink satellites, representing approximately 66.4% of the total.
That means roughly 2 out of every 3 active satellites in Earth orbit belong to Starlink.
SpaceX has already established an enormous infrastructure advantage in the global satellite internet market and continues to expand the Starlink network.

The dinosaurs had no space program, we "only" have two 😏 ESA's Hera arrives on 4 November at the asteroid that NASA's DART punched, to check how well we can actually move one. And the European crash scene investigator got there on a Falcon 9, so render unto Caesar.

Full HUGE* If True episode on Neuralink and the future of brain computer interfaces
I toured @neuralink and got a close up view of their new R1 surgical robot, to see the future they and @elonmusk are building and how it is already changing lives...
00:00 What if you put a chip in your brain?
01:02 What does a human brain feel like?
02:17 How does your brain work?
03:58 Can a brain computer interface read your thoughts?
05:19 How do you get a chip into your brain?
08:07 What’s inside Neuralink’s implant?
10:06 How do you build a brain implant?
11:07 How does robot do brain surgery?
12:20 What could you do with a brain chip?
15:05 How are brain computer interfaces already being used today?
16:07 How are brain chips huge if true?
Cleo Abram toured Neuralink and the R1 surgical robot, and the funny part is how "boring" brain surgery starts to look 😄 A robot does the fine threading, the team watches, and sci fi becomes routine. Meanwhile Europe still debates if a car may steer while the driver watches.
Tesla's "car company" now brings an electric truck to French fleet bosses in Deauville, while the "experts" are still explaining that heavy trucks can never go electric 🚛
🇫🇷 TESLA SEMI IS COMING TO FRANCE!
Europe gets another close look at Tesla's electric truck:
✅ First public appearance in France at Connect Trucks 2026
✅ Deauville, November 3–4
✅ Just over a month after the EU-spec Semi debuted at IAA Transportation in Hanover 🇩🇪
✅ Customer deliveries in Europe planned for 2027
Hanover, now Deauville. Tesla is clearly serious about European freight. 🚛⚡
European truckers: would you switch to an electric Semi?

Moon mass drivers launching compute into deep space is the kind of idea that gets laughed at for ten years and then shows up on a launch manifest. I'd still like to see ESA bid for at least one seat on that ride 🌕

BREAKING NEWS! 🇳🇴🇪🇺 Norway's road authority confirms most EU approval authorities were simply "not ready" to vote on Tesla Assisted Driving in October.
Tesla already dropped its exemption request on maximum lateral acceleration, renamed the system and toned down the marketing, and is still expected to tighten speed limit adaptation. Meanwhile a December vote is not even decided and the wording of the decision is still open 🙄

Grünheide, the town whose residents voted against the factory expansion, is now officially one of the richest in Brandenburg thanks to Tesla's trade tax. New primary school built, "rich town tax" paid to poorer neighbours, and still waiting for the "disaster" we were promised.
🚨 DANK TESLA: GRÜNHEIDE 🇩🇪 GEHÖRT ERSTMALS ZU DEN REICHSTEN GEMEINDEN BRANDENBURGS!
Das Finanzministerium in Potsdam hat es jetzt bestätigt. Der Grund laut Bürgermeister Arne Christiani: die Gewerbesteuer der Gigafactory.
✅ Grünheide zahlt erstmals rund 3 Mio. € in den Finanzausgleich, die sogenannte „Reichensteuer“
✅ Das Geld geht an finanzschwächere Kommunen in ganz Brandenburg
✅ Für 2026 erwartet die Gemeinde rund 11,5 Mio. € Gewerbesteuer allein von Tesla
✅ Seit 2021 flossen laut Gemeinde schon 32,2 Mio. € von Tesla in die Gemeindekasse
Mit dem Geld wurde unter anderem eine neue Grundschule in Hangelsberg finanziert.
Wer sagt, Tesla bringe der Region nichts, sollte sich diese Zahlen genau anschauen.

SpaceX has now crossed 700 Falcon 9 launches
700 missions flown by a single rocket family, at a scale and pace that have completely transformed modern spaceflight
Starlink 15-16 marked the 700th mission on October 27, with Starlink 15-18 following as the 701st on October 31
Since its first flight in 2010, Falcon 9 has revolutionized space transportation through reusable rocket technology
What once took years now happens every few days
SpaceX has turned launching and landing rockets into routine spaceflight
And that's an absolutely extraordinary engineering achievement
Optimus reservations in early December, says the SF Standard, so Americans get to queue for a robot while we Europeans still queue for permission to let the car steer itself.. Priorities 🇪🇺🤖
NEW: Tesla is opening up reservations for its humanoid robot Optimus in early December, per a source
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Elon says no.
x.com/elonmusk/statu…
Update: Elon replied "No" when asked if Optimus ordering opens in December. So the Americans don't get to queue for a robot either,and we Europeans are still queuing for permission to let the car steer. Somebody give me one queue that actually moves 🙄 teapawt.net/elonmusk/status/211629…
In the US you rent a Tesla to try FSD on a weekend trip, in Europe you rent one to find out at which border it stops being "approved".
BREAKING NEWS! 🇸🇮 Slovenia's new road law lets you take your hands off the wheel when an approved system like Tesla Assisted Driving is on, so the country that approved it in September finally made it "legal" to use it the way it was approved 😄

A German F1 world champion lets a Tesla drive him around San Francisco, and his own verdict is that Europe is "still way behind" on this tech. That is one sentence our transport ministers should read before the next committee meeting in Brussels 🇪🇺
🚨 FORMEL 1 WELTMEISTER NICO ROSBERG GIBT DAS LENKRAD AB!
Rosberg testet gerade einen Cybertruck mit FSD (Supervised) in San Francisco und nennt das Ganze „lebensverändernd“.
Seine Worte: "Seine ganze Rennkarriere lang hatte er selbst die Kontrolle. Jetzt ist er bereit, sie abzugeben."
✅ Ein Weltmeister, der vom Fahren lebte
✅ Täglich mit FSD unterwegs in einer der schwierigsten Städte der USA
❌ Und in Europa sind wir laut ihm noch weit hinterher
Wenn selbst ein F1 Champion freiwillig loslässt, wer von euch würde noch selbst lenken wollen?

BREAKING NEWS! 🇮🇹 Italy now publicly backs a swift EU approval of Tesla Assisted Driving (FSD Supervised).
Matteo Salvini, Italy's Minister of Infrastructure and Transport, posted it this morning after a call with Elon Musk. This matters for the December committee vote: a yes needs 65% of the EU population, and that line is out of reach without Italy or Spain. Italy alone brings about 13% of it to the table.
To keep both feet on the ground: this is political support, not a national recognition of the Dutch RDW approval, and Italy's own decision on Tesla's file is still pending. No December TCMV agenda is published yet either.

Very positive and constructive conversation with @elonmusk today.
Italy is looking with great interest at the opportunities offered by assisted driving technologies, with a focus on innovation and road safety, and supports a swift EU approval of Tesla Assisted Driving.
Thanks for the exchange, Elon!
Germany, France, Italy, Spain and Poland still have not approved Tesla Assisted Driving, and together they are about 65% of the EU population, so the "safe" choice is simply to wait. Ten countries already said yes, there is still no December agenda, and Germany's big contribution is a 10% speed cap and a polite "after you" to Brussels. Not one impact assessment asks how many crashes a supervised system could have prevented while the file sat on a desk. Being "careful" has a price too, it just never gets written down.
72 hours in a patient's living room and the engineers ship features he uses the same evening, like taking his own phone calls again. That is what building for one real person looks like, not for a committee slide deck..
ADAC crowns the Mercedes. Test car: optional air suspension and rear axle steering. The Tesla: €9,500 cheaper, lightest, quickest, best warranty. Points for price: zero. So, 4th place. Very "objective" science. adac.de/rund-ums-fahrzeug/au…
