Tesla’s mission is to accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy.

🌞⚡🚗🔋

(a thread)
Climate change is reaching alarming levels – in large part due to emissions from burning fossil fuels for transportation and electricity generation.
Annual CO2 emissions have approximately doubled over the past 50 years to over 35 gigatons per year. The path that the world currently is on is unsustainable and unwise.

The world cannot reduce CO2 emissions without addressing energy generation and consumption.
And the world cannot address its energy habits without directly reducing emissions in the transportation and power sectors.

This issue is Tesla’s entire reason for existing.
We recognize that we cannot achieve our mission alone, so we decided to open source Tesla patents, making them accessible to anyone who wants to design and build electric vehicles.

tesla.com/blog/all-our-p…
We are focused on creating a complete power and transportation ecosystem from solar generation and energy storage to electric vehicles.

Vehicles can be entirely powered by clean energy from our most abundant resource: the sun 🌞
The first step in our Master Plan was to build an electric sports car (the Tesla Roadster) to prove that people didn’t need to compromise to drive all-electric.

(Elon also sent one up to Space, but that's not technically in the Master Plan) 🚗 🚀
We designed the world’s first-ever premium all-electric sedan from the ground up, Model S, our Model X SUV, and an affordable vehicle for the mass market, Model 3.
As part of Master Plan, Part Deux, we introduced Tesla Semi, an all-electric truck that delivers massive savings in energy costs, performance, efficiency and reliability.

Homeowners can install solar panels or Solar Roof to power their home using 100% renewable energy and store that energy in Powerwall.

Clean energy will be stored in 🔋giant batteries🔋 to make the entire grid more efficient, sustainable, and resilient:
As deployment of Tesla’s products continues to accelerate, we can scale the adoption of renewable energy, cost-effectively modernize our aging infrastructure (and become less reliant on it) and improve the resilience of the electric grid to benefit everyone.

The Longest-Range Electric Vehicle Now Goes Even Farther
tesla.com/blog/longest-r…
Model S and Model X now come with an all-new drivetrain design that increases each vehicle’s range substantially, achieving a landmark 370 miles for Model S Long Range and 325 miles for Model X Long Range

Design yours at tesla.com

ts.la/2ITbweO
Paired with the new drivetrain design, Model S and Model X are now capable of achieving 200 kW on V3 Superchargers and 145 kW on V2 Superchargers. Together, these improvements enable owners to recharge miles 50% faster

THREAD: In a new study in @nature we present a way to avoid the bias that burdens future generations and the risky strategies that current #climate change mitigation pathways suffer from.

A #climatetwitter explainer

#Fridays4Future #ClimateStrike #ParisAgreement

(1/n)
Existing #ClimateChange scenarios focus on reaching a target in 2100

but by doing so weirdly suggest that the best way to achieve a #climate target is to delay action first, miss it over the next decades, and then to try to make up for it later

(2/n)
This puts put a disproportionate burden on future generations, who:
-will suffer higher #climate impacts in their lives
-are burdened with later cleaning up the mess by actively pulling #CO2 out of the air

This strategy is very risky and can be avoided

THREAD - How global heating is causing more extreme weather

Greenhouse gas emissions from burning fossil fuels, forest destruction and other human activities are trapping heat and putting more energy into the climate system. (1/n)
Hotter air means heatwaves are much more likely. For example, scientists now say the unprecedented heat and wildfires across the northern hemisphere in 2018 “could not have occurred without human-induced climate change”.
carbonbrief.org/northern-hemis… (2/n)
In Australia, the scorching summer of 2016-17 in New South Wales was made at least 50 times more likely by global heating, linking it directly to climate change.

Elon Musk’s last few years have been bizarre to watch. Inside Tesla, it’s been even weirder. Over the past six months, we’ve communicated with dozens of current and former Tesla employees on what's going on behind the scenes. This is what we found 1/ wired.trib.al/7HvpRB9
At Tesla, Musk is both despot and savior. A day at the company can include grand pronouncements, searing interrogations, and a laser-like focus on doing what no one has accomplished before 2/ wired.trib.al/7HvpRB9
Former employees say Elon Musk is the smartest person they have ever met. He’s not only Tesla’s visionary, he’s its emotional leader. But sometimes, they say, his emotions become tirades 3/ wired.trib.al/7HvpRB9

Scientists are once again warning about #climate armageddon. Thousands vetted the best science out there. More extinction, death and disease is in store if we don't act fast.

But I think we should focus on something uncomfortable: for many people, this is meaningless. /1
Let’s be clear: the IPCC report is a tour de force. Over 90 scientists spent years writing it, based on over 6,000 peer reviews. It says the planetary warming ALREADY caused “will persist for centuries to millennia.” It says we’re not acting fast enough to cut pollution. /2
The report adds to the vast global scientific consensus, based on an overwhelming body of evidence, that we’re pushing the planet into DANGEROUS and destructive warming conditions, by burning fossil fuels at industrial scales, and dumping carbon pollution into the air. /3

Today much of the world's population lives safer, more comfortable, healthier, longer, more productive lives than ever before. And yet, around half of the global population currently lacks access to enough electricity, and 1.2bn people have no access at all. #IPCC 1/n
Global electricity access is rising, which is improving the lives of millions. But this means our decarbonisation challenge is even greater, since we not only have to replace our entire fossil fuel infrastructure, but probably double it to meet rising global energy demand. #IPCC
The question is where will this energy to come from? A: Right now, mainly from #coal. #IPCC
