Are you confident enough that a landing starship can get the skydive maneuver right on the first try? Seems risky with fuel farm being so close to landing pad. Or aiming for soft water landing first?
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Apr 25, 2020
No, good chance of RUD (rapid unscheduled disassembly) event, but landing pad is separated from launch pad

That basically describes SoC 0 vs SoC 1 of our FSD computer right now. Soon to change!

What were the results of the new welds that you were talking about during the AMA livestream?
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Apr 25, 2020
Improved process I was referring to was cylinder to cylinder circumferential welds to improve cycle time & reduce pucker. Those are still working their way through production.

These won’t be strictly coupled to ship serial number. Might be on SN5 or might just be used as a manufacturing pathfinder.

Also, the amount of stuff that goes in the backend to design such a solid Neural network is pretty understated.

Great labeling tools & talented human labelers really matter. It really is a skilled profession! Importance of good tools & infrastructure is underrated.

He goes over many types of rocket engines in his "Is Raptor the king of rocket engines" video, including the gas-generator cycle Merlin uses:youtu.be/LbH1ZDImaI8 I believe there are timestamps as well if you don't want to watch the whole video, but I would highly recommend it!

@elonmusk · Apr 25, 2020
As usual for most things, building production system for Raptor is >1000% harder than designing it

Tesla Autopilot is over 4 times safer than human drivers. Over 90% of accidents are caused by human errors that are avoided by the superior sensors & Neural nets of the car's autonomous system. Also, the car wouldn't drink alcohol, smoke, text and eat behind the wheel @elonmusk
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Apr 25, 2020
Pretty much. Being better than human drivers on average is not a super high standard. Autonomy will probably be held to a 300% to 1000% higher safety requirement long-term.

Many talented engineers are working on FSD at Tesla. What matters is solving vision at high frame rate in our compute space with low latency between camera frame & actuation.

You've been exceptionally quiet about Semi and Roadster for a while. Any updates on those?

Sure, we can probably do an update later this year

Not saying new Giga will be in Texas, but Cybertruck will be produced there wherever it is, as Fremont is at max capacity
