How can we help?

Totally up to you, but if you head to a Tesla delivery center near you & maybe help out new owners, that would be cool

substance to disagree with, just the tone.
In very broad strokes, I like tales to inspire, not tales to condemn, or even tales to caution. Others certainly have an appetite for tragic stories; to each their own.

How are they powered now? I know for a bit there was talk about motors just spinning hydraulic pumps but you wanted it to eventually just be directly drive by the motors...
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Sep 26, 2020
Yes, the flaps are now directly driven by electric motors with a gearbox! No more hydraulics.

Thanks Tesla Team for great work on deliveries! For new owners, we super appreciate accommodating us on delivery timing! Definitely one of our toughest quarters in global logistics.

I know lots of people who rode to success on a strategy of skills acquisition and positivity. I don’t know anyone who complained their way to success.

Mostly 304L, some 301. Broke at 301 to 304 interface. SN9 will be all 304. Also, we’re making some tweaks to the 304 alloy mixture.

Sidenote: Did SN7.1 get to an acceptable bar rating before pop? (per SN8 confidence, given the same alloy).
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Sep 26, 2020
8 bar differential in ullage, 9 bar at base due to propellant head. It’s enough. Improvements in work.

Will u attempt SN9 for 20km?
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Sep 26, 2020
We just need enough height to test body flaps & drawing propellant from headers vs main tanks. Will do several flights to confirm working well, then add heat shield & go high Mach.

That's quite a fair assessment for the "delta" configuration, but the "tadpole" configuration has driving dynamics similar to 4-wheeled vehicles (when moving forward, not in reverse)
Problem is not dynamics, but rather that they're not required to meet car safety standards.

Tesla's rate, level, and range of innovation combined with continuous design improvements is wreaking havoc at @MunroAssociates 😖
Is there anything you can do to help @elonmusk? 😀
