Very likely that a home with clean power that’s lower cost than utility, plus blackout protection via Powerwall, will have a positive effect on value

I don't think thrust differential would be a good way to hold a spacecraft on course during a mid course burn. Vectored thrust as Elon mentioned is more efficient, quicker reacting & more accurate.
It's easier to hold a rocket engine at a constant thrust & only make slow changes.

And you could do thrust differential on the fixed engines too, right?
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · 17 oct. 2019
Need to deal with thrust asymmetry from flameout of an engine without forcing shutdown of opposing pair engine, which would double thrust loss. Also, thrust differential doesn’t solve roll control well.

The final configuration used at Nürburgring to set the record will go into production around summer 2020, so this is not merely for the track

So much respect for those doing high volume manufacturing. It’s insanely hard, but you make a real thing that people value. My hat is off to you …
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · 15 oct. 2019
Anyone who’s interested in working on cutting edge manufacturing — designing & building the machine that makes the machine — please consider working at Tesla or SpaceX. We’re gonna take this to a whole new level!

I take it you’re soaking in the feels at Gigafactory 3? Are things going well there? Are cars rolling off the line?

Tesla team has done an incredible job with Giga Shanghai. Honored to work with them. I’m in awe.

Prototypes are easy, but achieving volume production of a new technology is insanely hard
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · 15 oct. 2019
Tesla is first American car company to achieve sustained volume production in past ~100 years. Hardest, most painful thing I’ve ever been through, including getting Falcon to orbit.

Dear Elon Musk and Tesla critics:
How do you explain that Nio, Dyson, Faraday, Fisker, GM, Altera, Coda, Venturi, Apple, Audi, Jaguar et al. have all failed at capturing the EV segment if it's so EZ to create a Tesla killer? 😂😅

Assuming fixed vacuum nozzles, would mid-burn pointing and trajectory corrections be done with Starship's methox RCS thrusters? Or are you assuming that the gimballed SL engines will fire concurrently during in-space burns?
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · 15 oct. 2019
Yeah, gimbal SL engines at min throttle for control, so most of impulse goes through vac engines
