“We’re going to make a store that sells everything.” > Great. So people can take what they want to the register and pay for it? “No. They’re going to bring a little white ticket to the register and pay for it.” > Oh. Okay. Then the cashier gets whatever they bought and brings it to them? “No. Then they bring the receipt to another area and shows it to a second cashier.” > Ah. Nice. So the stuff is waiting for them by the time they get there? “No. Someone in the back will send it out using an elaborate conveyer belt system.”

Cybercab uses individual actuators on each brake caliper. Zero brake lines or fluid. This probably makes the unboxed process possible/easier because there are no brake lines running throughout the length of the vehicle, super neat.

The SpaceX Recovery team is still working to recover Flight 13’s Starship from the Indian Ocean. They’ve been overcoming challenging conditions and increasingly rough seas as they attempt to guide the 52m long spacecraft to port

My gods... the amount of engineering here is what you do if you are going to be committed to producing tiles like this in absolutely massive volume. Just quick stopwatch analysis says the throughput on this setup is 5760 tiles a day. Grok says Starship has ~18k of these tiles. So production capacity to completely tile a Starship in a little over 3 days of runtime.
Starship’s heat shield solves one of the hardest structural problems in rocketry: ceramic tiles and 300-series stainless steel expand and contract at completely different rates. Three mechanisms make it work: ▷ Precision expansion gaps in a hexagonal tessellation tight enough to block plasma, wide enough to prevent tile crush on reentry heating to 1,400–1,700 °C ▷ Mechanical pinning over a flexible high-temperature blanket instead of rigid bonding allowing independent movement without stress concentration ▷ Hex geometry that eliminates straight-line plasma paths to the hull The same first-principles approach that rejects glue-and-aluminum solutions also points toward a future HLS variant that can shed the entire heavy tile system for the lunar environment.

1 million to 10 million cars in just over six years. That number belongs to every teammate at Fremont, Giga Nevada, Giga Shanghai, Giga Berlin, and Giga Austin. Every line, every shift. Incredible milestone — and just the start of the amazing abundance we're building at Tesla.
10 million vehicles produced globally. Congrats to all Tesla teams!

NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman on orbital data centers: "If @elonmusk and SpaceX are betting on this right now, there is no reason to believe this will not come to existence. Never bet against an extremely well capitalized Elon." On NASA's mission to head back to the Moon, he said: "We can't do it without them. So the fact that they're extremely well capitalized right now is a fantastic thing, not to mention the engineering talent that's in there. Without question the greatest entrepreneur and engineer in recent history." via Moonshots pod: youtube.com/watch?v=nV_lyWrk…

Q2 Shareholder Update → ir.tesla.com Highlights – Cybercab began production at Gigafactory Texas – Tesla Semi remains on track for volume production this year at our new factory in Nevada – Making continued progress with battery pack capacity expansion (the main limiting factor to near-term vehicle production volume increase) – Megafactory Texas is nearing completion (start of production planned for this year) – More customers are now opting to subscribe to FSD at the time of vehicle purchase! – Robotaxi rollout continued in the US. Now live in 7 major metros – Construction of Optimus at Fremont Factory began after decommissioning the Model S & X lines. Planned production later this year From here, there remains much hard work as we aim to revolutionize transportation, energy and productivity through our leading real-world AI. Scaling will be non-linear and we are focused on long-term value creation. We’ve never been more optimistic about the future. Automotive – Record deliveries in several markets: South Korea, Australia, Colombia, Japan, Taiwan, Thailand, Portugal, the Philippines, Chile, Slovenia & Lithuania – We launched the Model YL in the US in July and have seen a positive response from customers Energy generation and storage – Record energy storage deployments in EMEA, supported by record deployments from Megafactory Shanghai, which continues to ramp production – On track to begin production of Megapack 3 & Megablock this year at our new Megafactory Texas – Powerwall 3P (three-phase) is now available in Germany and is designed to meet the power needs of German homes with a single unit Robotics – Installing the first-generation lines for Optimus at Fremont Factory, where we expect to start production soon – The initial Optimus builds will be used in our Optimus Academy for training data collection and further functionality development – Additionally, we continued site development at Gigafactory Texas with building construction now in full swing AI Training Compute – More than doubled our onsite compute in Texas (in terms of MW of compute) during the first half of 2026 – Cortex 2 supports the development of both vehicle and humanoid robot autonomy software & will ramp further over the rest of the year Battery – Ramping new battery & material factories, including vehicle pack capacity in Berlin, cathode material production and lithium refining in Texas and LFP cells in Nevada for our energy storage products – Increasing production of 4680 cells to support ramping Cybercab & Tesla Semi plus increased production of Model Y Other Supporting Infrastructure – Added over 2,400 net new Supercharging stalls, growing the network by 17% year-over-year AI Software – Started rolling out FSD v14 lite to early-access customers in the US & South Korea with AI3 hardware This software build distills the driving behavior from AI4’s v14 series into both the camera & compute configuration of AI3, bringing destination options & speed profiles. It also addresses challenging driving scenarios with improved proactive & reactive responsiveness AI Inference Compute – Making progress on construction & equipment procurement for our semiconductor fab in Austin Automotive and Other Software – Rolled out Summer Release: Self-Driving stats are now available in the mobile app Grok can make phone calls, search & play music, and adjust climate controls, among other things Automatic Navigation expands beyond home & work to support any destination based on personal habits and schedule Robotaxi – Started production of Cybercab, our purpose-built autonomous EV designed to be the workhorse of our Robotaxi fleet – Began offering employee rides in Cybercabs on our GFTX campus in July – Preparing for expansion of our Robotaxi service to additional US metros: testing, permitting & first responder training – Expanded unsupervised rides to the entire Austin metro area & launched unsupervised rides in Miami, Orlando & Tampa in July FSD Supervised – Record net new subscriptions in Q2 – Record FSD attach rates in North America, with over half of new deliveries including FSD subscriptions – Received additional approvals in Lithuania, Estonia, Denmark & Belgium, with customers in these countries driving over 50 million kilometers (31 million miles) on FSD as of July

The future
23 years ago, we set out to prove that electric cars could be great – not just great electric cars, but the best cars overall. We’ve gone from one electric sports car to  – Over 9 million vehicles on the road – Model Y becoming the world’s best-selling car of any kind only 3 years after first deliveries   – 5 Gigafactories & other manufacturing sites across 3 continents – The largest & most reliable fast charging network w/ over 80,000 Superchargers globally  – Energy generation & storage systems helping power homes & grids (over 1 million Powerwalls installed, 70+ GWh of industrial energy storage operating globally across 2,200+ projects) Today, we’re bringing AI into the real world with autonomy @teslasi and robotics @Tesla_Optimus.  Tesla is only getting started – a world of amazing abundance awaits
