Please direct all complaints on the late start to Chris. 🙃
Interview beginning now, with a recorded interview now and a live appearance before an audience later.
“People don’t understand; this is going to be bigger than the car.”
— @elonmusk , on humanoid robots
“I think the cost is not going to be crazy high, something less than a car.”
… on the price of a humanoid robot
“If I had a dogecoin for every crypto scam I’ve seen, I’d have 100 million dogecoin or something… but don’t bet the farm on dogecoin. I like dogs and I like memes, so…”
“There is.”
(in response to the question, “If Twitter doesn’t agree to go along, is there a Plan B?”)
For those who missed the live interview, here’s a working link:
At the 7:01 mark, the live audience’s spontaneous reaction sounds *exactly like* a “canned laughter” sound effect from a network TV sitcom! 🤣

About one hour ago, Elon Musk gave a speech celebrating the first Tesla Model Y deliveries at Giga Berlin/Brandenburg
$TSLA
(full text of @elonmusk‘s remarks in the thread below)
In German:
Thank you, Brandenburg, Grünheide, and Germany.
In English:
I’ll go to English. So I’m incredibly excited to hand over the first production cars from our incredible team here at Giga Berlin Brandenburg.

This is a great day for the factory and I’d just like to thank everyone who thanked. Thank you very much! You’ve really made a big difference. And to the community, Tesla will make sure that this is a gemstone for the area, for Germany, for Europe, and for the world.

Here's a $TSLAQ chart @TESLAcharts tweeted out on July 23, 2020 (right after Fremont was shut down for 6 weeks due to Covid and Shanghai was still ramping, at left)
vs.
the actual $TSLA revenue growth since (5 out of 6 all-time record high quarters)
"Post-truth world" indeed. 🤣
I figured I may as well just do the whole rest of TC's 2020 Q2 $TSLAQ earnings wrap-up thread, while I'm at it.
Here's tweet 2 compared vs. how quarterly R&D expense has actualized since.
I wonder if TC is happy that Tesla has increased R&D investment... 🤔
On tweet 3, TC charted Solar MW (production) deployed.
This is one of the few areas Tesla hasn't grown sharply over the past year and a half... but it didn't keep dropping either.
