What tanks are you using? Common or some smaller 3.7meter tanks 😉
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Jan 11, 2019
Body/tank diameter is 9m or about 30ft

When will we see pictures of an orbital starship?
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Jan 11, 2019
Should be done with first orbital prototype around June

Is it going to be like the grasshopper where you test it 1 meter, then 2 and so on.

Starship test flight rocket just finished assembly at the @SpaceX Texas launch site. This is an actual picture, not a rendering.

This is for suborbital VTOL tests. Orbital version is taller, has thicker skins (won’t wrinkle) & a smoothly curving nose section.

I find that Navigate On Autopilot seems to take some interchanges dangerously slowly (e.g. 101 S -> 405 S); Autopilot slows to 45mph long before the interchange, while the flow of traffic is still 75mph. Is this slated for improvement?

Getting some regulatory pushback. May not be available in all regions.

Any update on the Summon+ (i.e. My Pet Tesla That Follows Me Around the Parking Lot), while we're on the subject?
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Jan 10, 2019
Going through final validation & regulatory approval. Probably releases to early access program owners in a few weeks. It’s trippy!

Tesla *with* Autopilot engaged is twice as safe & continues to make steady improvements

Starting on Monday, Tesla will no longer be taking orders for the 75 kWh version of the Model S & X. If you’d like that version, please order by Sunday night at

@elonmusk suggestion: screen render should show lane in red when vehicle in the blind spot even when not Autopilot. It would act as a blind spot alert alternative.

Good idea

Sheesh. I kinda love this. I assume this makes a little extra weight, but I didn't need the back seats anyway and this is gonna be unreal to drive in... wide open areas

Plus, you can basically accelerate at the limit of human endurance
