Great work by the @SpaceX team!

On my flight home on Friday (Ryan Manion) credit This gentleman walked past me wearing a World War II veteran hat. I thanked him for his service as he went by, but almost immediately wished I had asked him more. So when we landed, I waited for him to get off the plane. He told me his name is George “Middy” Middlebrook. He’s 98 years old. He served 24 years in the U.S. Army, retired as a Master Sergeant (E-8), and his service spanned World War II, Korea and Vietnam. Three wars. Twenty-four years of service. We sat there for a few minutes while he told me pieces of his story, and I couldn’t stop thinking about how easily I could have just let him walk by. The World War II generation is leaving us far too quickly, and with them go stories and firsthand memories of a time that shaped our country and our world. We won’t have many more opportunities to hear directly from the men and women who lived them. There are extraordinary people all around us carrying stories we know nothing about. Sometimes all it takes is noticing the hat, asking the question, and taking a few minutes to listen. Really grateful I waited for Middy.

I need a Cybercab please! 😂

In addition to making it autonomous, I’d recommend deleting all control surfaces in favor of gimbaling the motors and replace the horizontal stabilizer with a small wing (like the Piaggio). This will significantly improve range. The battery also needs to double as structure for the wing (if you’re not doing it already). You can use the battery cells like honeycomb to transfer shear between bonded carbon fiber face sheets.

@StephenM Two 84-year-olds in Anchorage. We keep none of it. 440 Cyberbeasts for Alaska disabled vets, asking the President to double it and Elon to redouble it — 1,760 veterans. The video is the pitch. If you can quote this once, it helps more than we can.

Cybercab is go for launch. God speed.

Brace yourself, Cybercabs are coming

LFG

The Austin Fire Department itself posted a Cybercab, which is significant. It suggests Tesla may be working with local first responders on safety and emergency procedures ahead of real-world Cybercab deployment. In short, Cybercab deployment in Austin appears to be getting closer.

Cool!

I remember it well.
