Ideas for happy life A collection of thoughts and sayings that resonated with me…Rules I try to live by: - [ ] Everyone dealt their own cards… make the best out of your hand - [ ] Happiness - life is never perfect so accept what you have and make the best out of it - [ ] Positivity is infectious. Do your part to make those around you happy - [ ] If you don’t have anything nice to say then don’t say anything at all - [ ] Be a uniter not a divider - [ ] Try to limit bitching…it does no good and is unnecessary negativity - [ ] Surround yourself with good people-limit negative nellies - [ ] Only use constructive criticism - [ ] Praise in public - [ ] Be a role model - it’s contagious - [ ] Relationships matter - coworkers, friends & family - [ ] People buy things in search of happiness but may not find it - [ ] Alcohol doesn’t bring happiness but spending time with family and friends does - [ ] When other people are not nice it is not your problem it is theirs - [ ] Set goals and periodically review - [ ] My glass is half full versus half empty.

I felt more satisfaction with life when I understood this - You may not be able to control everything that happens to you but you can control how you deal with it.

Honest question: What would actually impress you at the Tesla Roadster event on Oct 1? A) Sub-1s 0-60 B) SpaceX thrusters C) Production date D) Price under $200k My answer is D

I love fall here in the Emerald coast

I feel like things are changing slowly yet quickly at the same time.

Tesla Semi Factory

It's my 📐 2 year Anniversary! I love my Cybertruck. ❤️ Best truck I’ve ever owned. Best vehicle I’ve ever owned. Seriously... I counted. 9 cars, 8 trucks, 7 suvs & 1 van Thanks, Tesla! My delivery day 👇

X Takeover at Giga Texas (Austin) Date: Oct 9–10, main event Sat Oct 10. Typical weather: highs ~84–85°F, lows ~60°F, often sunny, ~20% rain chance. Pleasant for an outdoor event.Pack sunscreen, water, and a light layer for the evening drone show.

Who else would like an ultra premium version of the Cybercab for personal use? Maybe a bump up in range with a super premium seats ride, fit and finish. Ok, maybe add massaging seats.

RT @ShrimpTeslaLong: @johnherzog A tell of what?! Every single semi will be sold. Way more affordable to fuel (charge), less maintenance a…

I am so ready for the Tesla Optimus. I have a robot vacuum that is kind of a fail. I would not recommend anyone get the Ecovac T-50. It may have a lot of suction but the user interface is poor. It is hard to tell it what to do and communicate with it. I just want it to vacuum.

Tesla is in its biggest build year ever: 2026 CapEx guided at $25B+ (vs $8.5B in 2025). Q2 alone was $5.8B. Cash ~$43.5B, but FCF is negative while they spend ahead. What’s going in the ground: • Texas: Cybercab lines, Cortex AI clusters, Optimus factory rising • Fremont: S/X lines converted — Optimus production started • Nevada: Semi plant (~50k/yr) + 1.2 MW Megachargers • Energy: Megapack 3 (Houston), Supercharger prefab “Accordion” rollout • Plus cells, solar plans, early chip fab workNear-term earnings hit: more depreciation, lower FCF, margin pressure. Long-term bet: robotaxi miles, Optimus, storage, and charging become high-utilization, higher-margin businesses.

Tesla Q3 earnings soon. Cars + energy should be strong. Several vehicle ramps are live at once: Model Y L, Cybercab at Giga Texas, Semi at the new Nevada line, plus CT still grinding up. The huge swing factor is infrastructure spend. They’re building the next company while ramping the current one: • Optimus factory at Giga Texas • Cortex / compute buildings • Huge Terafab • Y L, Cybercab + Semi lines • LFP, lithium, Megafactory Sales can look great and cash flow can still look ugly! That’s the setup.

Tesla & SpaceX are building Terafab: a huge U.S. chip factory in Grimes C, Texas. The point is to make their own chips for Optimus robots, Cybercab robotaxis, and SpaceX space computers — instead of waiting in line at other chip plants. That kind of factory costs a fortune. First phase is about $16.8B .Texas sweetened it with a tax deal. Normally a plant that big would pay local property tax every year on the buildings and equipment — think hundreds of millions of dollars a year. Instead, they got an abatement: the county is not charging that normal tax. They pay $10 million up front, then roughly $20m/yr. So: giant American chip factory, built for Tesla’s next products, with the local tax load capped at a small fraction of what the property would usually cost.

I need a picture of the Terrafab

For the most part my 2021 Tesla Model S with FSD is awesome. FSD is better than I ever expected when I got it. I could have easily bought a new HW4 Tesla, but I love this car. Elon said we’d get a hardware upgrade at some point. I don’t think I’m owed that — I’d just like it.

Tesla should have a decent Q3. High gas helps. No big U.S. discounts that I’ve seen, some sell-through. 4680 is finally moving. Energy is the real story. Cybercab, Y L, and Semi ramps may ding margins. What’s your read?

RT @ShrimpTeslaLong: 67 Cybercab (28 added today). Let's Fucking Go! $TSLA

I love Grok and use it every day.

Get yours while they last.
