  1. 1.3 million people die a year in car accidents. Yet, 1 person dies in a Tesla on autopilot and people decry driverless cars as unsafe.

  2. Our condolences for the tragic loss

  3. My son recently asked what my favorite animal was. Well, of course …

  4. Thanks for the kind bday wishes!

  5. Tesla is done being an automaker—it is now an energy company:

  6. If curious abt TSWLM car, am still planning to do a sports sub car that can drive on roads. Just a side project. Limited market potential :)

  7. We *def* don't recommended this, but Model S floats well enough to turn it into a boat for short periods of time. Thrust via wheel rotation.

  8. Tesla owner drives through a flooded tunnel & out the other side

  9. As mentioned at the beginning of the year, I'm expecting ~70% success rate on landings for the year. 2016 is the year of experimentation.

  10. Looks like early liquid oxygen depletion caused engine shutdown just above the deck

  11. Turns out the landing was not as fast we thought, but still hard enough to destroy the primary airframe and accordion the engines

  12. Landing video will be posted when we gain access to cameras on the droneship later today. Maybe hardest impact to date. Droneship still ok.

  13. Upgrades underway to enable rocket to compensate for a thrust shortfall on one of the three landing engines. Probably get there end of year.

  14. RUD = Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly :)

  15. Looks like thrust was low on 1 of 3 landing engines. High g landings v sensitive to all engines operating at max.

  16. Ascent phase & satellites look good, but booster rocket had a RUD on droneship

  17. Targeting launch tomorrow of & ABS communication satellites. 45-min window opens 10:29am ET, 2:29pm UTC
