Starship just got the wet dress. Next stop is orbit. 🚀
Flight 14 finished cryo rehearsal at Starbase. Target window is around Sep 28, nearly 10 hours on orbit, 26 Starlink V3s to deploy.
Thirteen flights built the ladder. This one tries the first sustained orbit. Who else is watching Monday from Houston?

The number that mattered from last night's Tesla Semi event wasn't the price. 🚛⚡
Tesla's own chart puts diesel at roughly 80 cents a mile this year, versus 20 to 30 cents for electricity.
Add 500 miles of range at a full 82,000 lbs, new 4680 cells, and deliveries starting now.
Truckers, would you switch? Repost if your fleet should.

Optimus just went 10x. 🤖
Fremont is building several hundred a week now, per The Information. Old Model S/X floor space, real line cadence.
The bottleneck is not the body. It is the hands and the brain. Most units still train, not work. Who thinks useful factory jobs land before year end?

Semi factory just went live. 🚛⚡
Tesla opens the dedicated Sparks, Nevada plant tonight. About 1.7 million square feet, built for 50,000 trucks a year, with 4680 cells cooked on site.
From Houston, I-10 freight is watching this one. Stream is rolling now. What do you want to see first on the floor?

Philly, your Cybercabs are warming up. 🚕
About 35 of them are staged at a Tesla store in Devon, PA, half an hour from Center City.
For now PennDOT says anything on Pennsylvania roads runs with a human in charge, but this is how Austin started.
Houston already has them rolling. Who's next after Philly? Repost to vote your city in.

Tesla Semi night. 🚛⚡
Tonight at 8 PM CT, Tesla opens its dedicated Semi factory in Sparks, Nevada, built for 50,000 trucks a year.
Drone shots already show a row of Semis wearing PepsiCo, DHL and US Foods colors.
What number do you want first: price, range, or trucks delivered? Repost if you're watching.

SpaceXAI just got a six month shot clock. ⚡
Elon says if the second derivative stays strong, SpaceX reaches pole position vs OpenAI and Anthropic. Three years old against six and ten.
Hardware at scale is the bet. Memphis Colossus energy. Who else thinks the compute race decides this?

Starship just got its full fuel rehearsal at Starbase.
Booster 21 and Ship 41 loaded up for a practice countdown on Pad 2. Clean run keeps Flight 14 on track for Monday 7:15 AM CT, still waiting on the FAA license.
First orbital try. About 10 hours up there. Who is taking Monday morning off?

Gold Cybercab just hit rainy NYC streets. 🚕
Pompliano caught the bronze cab rolling through Queens and Manhattan. Yellow-cab energy, robotaxi body, safety driver still required in that city.
Austin already rides unsupervised. New York is gathering the data with hands still on the wheel. Which city unlocks next?
