I'm not certain that it was right, but I know that our approach was wrong on many levels.
The problem (and Anders agrees with that assessment) is that Sweden didn't protect the old in nursing homes. This is where most deaths happened.
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Oct 10, 2020
Yes, failure to protect nursing homes was a major mistake (happened in most countries). Herd immunity for vast majority of people & quarantine vulnerable was right though imo.

It’s still quite strict with huge penalties... but I find it odd Elon can post full blown pictures of the Raptor in all of its glory. Perhaps at that point it’s like “if you can reverse engineer this engine from these pics, you deserve it” 😂
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Oct 10, 2020
There are sensitive elements, but they’re on the inside. Also, a good telephoto lens will be able to capture what I’ve posted. And yeah, anyone who can reverse engineer what I’ve posted doesn’t need to reverse engineer!

@elonmusk is there a consensus yet on exposed vs concealed heat tile pegs? The adhesives method didn't appear to work well 🤔

It might be used in some areas. ITAR laws prevent us from being too specific about solutions.

Tiles will be on hot side of flaps too. A very tough problem is sealing the moving flap to body joint without melting or shredding the seal.

I have seen first hand the errors that can occur from untyped enums, but sometimes converting to an enum class takes so many static_cast<int> littered around the code that it doesn't feel like a win. I still need to remind myself to default to using enum class on new code.
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Oct 9, 2020
Compilers need to improve imo. Most type, pointer (or other memory) problems can be detected at compile time or disambiguated by asking the user.

In September 2020, more than 60% of new cars sold in Norway 🇳🇴 were electric - a new record!
Globally, EVs are projected to only account for 3% of all new car sales in 2020.

I believe @elonmusk stated molten alloy injection for Model Y rear underbody takes ~40 milliseconds
I don't see additive manufacturing being able to compete with state-of-the-art die casting on critical metrics of mass-volume production: cost, ease, & speed of manufacturing
Elon Musk@elonmusk· Oct 8, 2020@TashaARK Additive manufacturing of parts is still far too costly for cars, but can rapidly create tooling to accelerate pace of innovation.
It’s already sensible for rocket engine parts. To the best of our knowledge, SpaceX is 2 or 3 years ahead of other companies in use of additive.
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Oct 9, 2020
Yeah, it’s not a contest. Advanced casting crushes best-case 3D printing, but casting doesn’t work well for complex enclosed volumes & high strength or high temp alloys.

#3Dprinting unlocks the full potential of AI design. Seems like a lot of manufacturing operations should eventually use 3DP in some form, whether it be models, parts or tools. For a $10-15B industry today, I see a lot of untapped opportunity. electrek.co/2020/10/07/tes…
