- CARLISLE of the UK just upgraded their sales team with 8 new Model 3s as a step forward in their commitment to sustainability and reducing their carbon footprint.
- Tomorrow, the 2nd of October, around 8 a.m. ET, Tesla is expected to release their Q3 production and delivery results. FactSet estimates about 460,000 deliveries.
- Tesla Event Coordinator Anna Chmielewska and Team set up a Model Y camping display at the Decathlon in Villeneuve-d'Ascq, France, and encouraged customers to climb up and try it out.
- Tesla Energy announced 750K Powerwalls have been installed worldwide.
- As expected, the cryptic "0" messages from Tesla Korea were hype for a Q4 promotion of 0% APR for up to 60 months on new Model Y RWD and LR.
- Last weekend, the Tesla Lithium Refinery Team in Corpus Christi, Texas, joined other companies from the Coastal Bend at 'Chemours United Way Softball Tournament' in Ingleside, Texas. Team name, the Lithium Bombers! Per Senior Project Manager Leslie Lamon, "We had a great time representing our company and playing for a great cause."
- In Australia, and probably some other regions, an email from Tesla has gone out stating the Spotify Vehicle Account that allows you to play ad-free music with premium connectivity is going away the 1st of December. H/T techAU (@techAU). In the US, LiveOne will undergo the same.
- A Cybertruck has been spotted in South Korea with a temporary license plate. This, on top of the fact that Tesla is trying to move Cybertruck into the market. H/T Tsla Chan (@Tslachan).
- Malte Kendel, Tesla Director of Charging Infrastructure in DACH and Eastern Europe, posted that his is expanding his team and growing the charging network in Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic, and Slovakia. To support this growth, he is urgently looking for Supercharging Project Developer, Real Estate Site Acquisition, Charging Deployment Managers, and Market Asset Managers. Link in the sources section.

- Two corner pieces for Orbital Launch Mount B arrived at Starbase this morning. According to @StarshipGazer, one has been lifted onto an assembly stand marking the official start of OLM 2 assembly!
- The FAA is requiring an investigation into Falcon 9's second stage after the deorbit burn issue on the Crew-9 mission.
- Starbase General Manger Kathy Lueders (@KathyLueders) posted that 1,153 people volunteered and nearly 19 metric tons of trash was cleaned off he beach. "Thank you to all that came to the Boca Chica Beach clean up!"

Countdown to 144 (93 - Falcon 9, 1 - Falcon Heavy, and 2 - Starship):
Launch 97! Saturday, 5th of October, at 3:43 a.m. Falcon 9 Starlink 10-10 will launch from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral, Florida. The booster will land on a drone ship in the Atlantic Ocean.
Launch 98! Monday, 7th of October, at 10:52 a.m. Falcon 9 Hera Block 5 will launch from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral, Florida. Hera is a mission in development at the European Space Agency's (ESA) Space Safety program. Its primary objective is to study the Didymos binary asteroid system that was impacted by DART and contribute to validation of the kinetic impact method to deviate a near-Earth asteroid with a colliding trajectory with Earth. It will measure the size and the morphology of the crater created by and momentum transferred by an artificial projectile impacting an asteroid. This will allow measuring the efficiency of the deflection produced by the impact. It will also analyze the expanding debris cloud caused by the impact. As of now, the booster will be expended in the Atlantic Ocean.
Launch 99! Wednesday, 9th of October, at 11:49 p.m. PT, Falcon 9 OneWeb 20 will launch from Space Launch Complex 4E (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Space Force Base, California. This is a batch of 20 satellites for the OneWeb satellite constellation, intended to provide global Internet broadband service for individual consumers. The constellation is planned to have around 648 microsatellites around 150 kg each, operating in Ku-band from low Earth orbit. The booster will land at Landing Zone 4 (LZ-4) at Vandenberg.
Launch 100! Thursday, 10th of October, at 12:31 p.m. Falcon Heavy Europa Clipper will launch from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at Kennedy Space Center, Florida. Europa Clipper is the first dedicated NASA mission to study Jupiter’s moon Europa. It comprises of an orbiter spacecraft, which, while in orbit around Jupiter, will perform numerous flybys over Europa. Its payload suit included high-resolution cameras and spectrometers for imaging Europa’s surface and thin atmosphere, an ice-penetrating radar to search for subsurface water, and a magnetometer and gravity measurements to measure the moon’s magnetic field and unlock clues about its ocean and deep interior. As of now, all three boosters will be expended in the Atlantic Ocean.

■ THE BORING COMPANY:
- Yesterday's images of the Boring Company's Cyber-Tunnel at Giga Texas by Joe Tegtmeyer (@JoeTegtmeyer).
■ NEURALINK: N/A...
■ STARLINK:
- In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, the Y'all Squad (@TheYallSquad) has set aside $50,000 to provide wireless communication equipment, including Starlinks and power supplies. Y'all Squad Vice President Chandra (@YALLITSCHAN) bought kits in West Virginia and MrBeast's Chief of Staff, Shawn Hendrix (@TheShawnHendrix), brought 20 more. Areas in North Carolina without power and cell service are now getting the Starlink kits.
- Starlink announced, approximately 500 Starlink kits have arrived for recovery and support efforts after Helene. They are being deployed by private individuals and organizations with SpaceX's support.
- Today people are posting about OPUL Jets and a partnership with Starlink. This is not new. It was announced back in May.
- From a campsite in Italy to the stars over Norway, when you have Starlink working remotely gets you views like this. Pic by Recruiter Jeltine Boomsma.
- Elon's response to Donald Trump's call for more Starlinks, "Since the Hurricane Helene disaster, SpaceX has sent as many Starlink terminals as possible to help areas in need. Earlier today, Donald Trump alerted me to additional people who need Starlink Internet in North Carolina. We are sending them terminals right away."
- Per Laetisia Razafimahandry, "My Starlink Mini is finally activated!" This is in Madagascar.
- European telecoms Vodafone, Telefonica, Liberty Global, PPF, Telenor, United Group, and Orange sent a letter to the FCC yesterday. They are urging the FCC to reject loosening its radio emission rules for SpaceX's Direct to Cell Starlink system. The waiver SpaceX seeks will provide stronger coverage to US users through T-Mobile’s network.
- For several months in Romania, Starlink, in collaboration with the National Authority for Management and Regulation in Communications (ANCOM), has been testing operations at higher equivalent power flux density (EPFD) levels than those currently imposed by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU). Expectations are to operate at capacities 8x higher than those allowed by the ITU limit without harming operations of geostationary satellites. Per Elon, "This is really important. The rule should be that Starlink can operate at whatever power level does not disrupt other communication systems, not some arbitrarily low power limit!"
■ X:
- X Japan Chief Ayumu Matsuyama (@ayumu_matsuyama) at the 2024 Autumn DX General EXPO today. He and X Team gave an update on the evolution of X towards the Everything App and the latest features using Grok. He also introduced vertical full-screen video ads.
- According to recently released disclosures, Fidelity's Blue Chip Growth Fund's investment of $19.66 million in X has dropped to roughly $4.19 million. This means X has lost 78% of its value since Elon's Twitter acquisition. Originally valued at $44 billion, it is now estimated to be worth $9.4 billion.
- Well that didn't last long. Per Elon, "Due to immediate and excessive use of bold font on 𝕏, it will be removed from view in the main timeline. You will have to click on post details to see anything in bold. My eyes are bleeding. Same goes for italics and any other formatting. They are being abused for engagement farming."
- Offline video for iOS is active. Select videos that you can later view offline, right from inside the app. Only available with Premium.
- Brazil’s Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes has imposed another fine of 10.3 million reais ($3.36 million) on X, which must be paid before the company can resume operations in Brazil.
- Republican Reps. Jim Jordan of Ohio, Chris Smith of New Jersey, and Maria Elvira Salazar of Florida have co-sponsored legislation that that aims to prevent U.S. taxpayer dollars from "flowing to progressive non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that are promoting Brazil’s escalating crackdown on free speech." The bill is in response to Brazil shutting down X in the country.

■ ELON NEWS:
- After announcing the new Texas Stock Exchange soon to be locate din Dallas, Texas Governor Greg Abbott said he had spoken with Elon about the possibility of listing his companies on the exchange. Per Greg, "I think it is the kind of thing that is really up his alley. This really dovetails with the way Elon Musk does business." I would expect he is referring to every company other than Tesla.
