elon can you please let us write some apps for Tesla
Just make an app directory and load web applications in Chromium, full screen or windowed, with the option to hide the browser chrome

It’s quite hard for us to write the software needed to cover basic car functionality, but maybe we could do something of this nature

This is the equivalent of dropping the jet engines from your wings and catching them like SpaceX catches fairings while crashing the plane.
It may save you money, but it offers no scalability for a future where your two competitors are working on planes that don’t crash.

Is Raptor mostly more reuse friendly due to methane burning clean with no soot or does it have more to do with full flow running so cool through each preburner / turbine? I still have a hard time grasping how such high pressure can be better re-use wise, but it seems to somehow!
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Aug 19, 2020
Not having long chain hydrocarbons & lowering preburner combustion temperature make a big difference

thermal constraints seem to be increasingly the dominant constraint in computing!
does it merit liquid cooling or something even more exotic?
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Aug 19, 2020
Absolutely needs liquid cooling. We’re applying our experience cooling half megawatt drive unit power electronics in cars to computers.

That’s an error in Canada. The lease payment is specifically lower than loan financing, as Tesla expects to repossess the car. This is essentially a bet on residual value. If you believe residual value will rise, buy on loan, if you think it will drop, then lease.

Are you going to push the booster to go above 10 flights or maybe put it on display at SpaceX HQ?
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Aug 19, 2020
We will push for ten flights with Starlink

Almost never need to replace whole engine, but some individual parts like turbine wheels need to be replaced over time. Similar to a jet engine.

Well and based on your job listings, you want it to be a tropical resort some day right? Will that be for the public, employees or just customers?
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Aug 19, 2020
Mostly for employees, but we’ll support public access whenever it’s safe & secure. Public support is critical to making life multiplanetary.

Now that you’re at 6 flights, still think 10 is possible? What do you think will be the limiting factor that will end their service life span?
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Aug 19, 2020
I don’t want be cavalier, but there isn’t an obvious limit. 100+ flights are possible. Some parts will need to be replaced or upgraded. Cleaning all 9 Merlin turbines is difficult. Raptor is way easier in this regard, despite being a far more complex engine.

I’ve been working in Boca since Sunday. August heat & humidity in South Texas is intense! If you think of it like a tropical resort, that makes it better though.

Dojo V1.0 isn’t done yet. About a year away. Not just about the chips. Power & cooling problem is hard.
