"It will require outstanding execution, but I think more like 1000% gain for Tesla in 5 years is possible..." - Elon Musk (@elonmusk)

■ TESLA $TSLA ($284.65, -2.84%):

- I posted a video of Tesla testing the Semi in Alaska over the weekend and got some replies from Tesla's Dan Priestley (@danWpriestley) and Wes Morrell (@wmorrill3).

Per Dan, "The roof height variance is independent of range variance. The one in the video is a Long Range Semi, just with a shorter roof meant for lower profile trailers like flatbeds, drop decks, tankers, etc. Better aero for those setups. (Also easier to transport truck to/from test sites)"

Per Wes, "We've got quite a few Semis (and other models too ofc) on public roads running through the winter in Alaska, they do fit right in. Was up there a week ago, the short winter days can be tough but it really extends the blue hour and sunrise/sunset." Wes also posted the above pics for us.

- Ha! I called it. Tesla officially announced that they have leased a space in Mumbai's Bandra Kurla Complex. I posted that they had this location and one at

- Tesla's FSD may soon launch in Australia, as owner accounts now show "Full Self Driving (Supervised)" instead of "Full Self-Driving Package." Possible indication that preparations are being made for release. H/T techAU (@techAU).

- Oracle has placed their Cybertruck Security vehicle on display at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain.

- With the increase in political activism against Tesla and people going out of their ways to key them, Elon posted that the "Car could honk at people if you want." I created a poll so you can vote Yes or No for the cars to honk. Just click here.

- Last night, a dozen Teslas were set on fire outside the Tesla Center in Plaisance-du-Touch, near Toulouse, France. This arson attack completely burned out eight cars and four others badly damaged. Approximately 700,000 euros in losses. An investigation has been opened to address the incident. Firefighters confirmed arson.

- Apple Maps is set to receive an update that will include support for Tesla's North American Charging Standard (NACS).

- MarcoRP (@MarcoRPi1) has found the second plans for a Semi Megacharger. This one will be located off Interstate 5 in California. No sure what the exact location is yet, but some have suggest it is at the Hwy 46 Lost Hills exit.

- A post by Adam Berg (@AdamBerg4680) shows that Model S and X delivery dates in the EU have shifted from 4 to 8 weeks to July-August 2025 (4 to 5 months).

- Ryan McCaffrey (@DMC_Ryan) dropped another Ride the Lightning podcast, this time with Franz von Holzhausen (@woodhaus2). They discuss his tenure at Tesla, the new Model Y, paint colors, wheel design, next-gen Roadster, and more.

- According to Sawyer Merritt (@SawyerMerritt), Tesla is sending out invites to pick up their new Model Ys at a delivery event in Giga Texas on the 8th of March.

- Tesla Energy opened their first-ever Energy Warehouse last week in Ravenhall, Melbourne, Australia. This dedicated facility, developed in partnership with DEXUS, marks a shift from third-party warehousing to a Tesla-built and managed solution. The warehouse enhances logistics efficiency, streamlines the movement of over 4,000 energy parts across sales, deployment, and service teams, and is run by Tesla. Pics by Tesla's Tram Nguyen.

The booster landed on a drone ship Just Read the Instructions in the Atlantic Ocean. 21 Starlinks were deployed, including 13 Direct to Cell.

Following the successful landing, Booster B1086 had a fire in the aft end of the rocket that damaged one of the landing legs. This resulted in it tipping over and being destroyed. You did well B1086 🫡

Per Kiko Dontchev (@TurkeyBeaver), "Every failure is an opportunity to learn. This setback will not only improve the reliability of Falcon 9, but of all vehicles."
