Tesla Megapacks are designed to ensure grid stability, so that you never have a blackout
Tesla's Controller-Hardware-In-the-Loop (CHIL) is key to bringing Megapack sites online faster
CHIL allows us to simulate the entire site in real time before it’s connected to the grid. We can see how the site will respond to faults, frequency changes or if a tree were to fall on a power line.
CHIL validated 444 grid-forming Megapacks at Melbourne Renewable Energy Hub before grid connection, delivering 600 MW / 1.6 GWh of storage months ahead of schedule
SpaceXSI just unlocked something HUGE for Grok Bot: secure access to your own PRIVATE NETWORK through Tailscale
Grok Bot can now join your personal or company tailnets and connect to private MCP servers, internal applications, and self-hosted tools without exposing them to the public internet.
Here’s what this unlocks:
• Connect Grok Bot to your personal or company tailnet
• Access private MCP servers and internal tools
• Reach authorized devices and servers by their network names
• Use encrypted connections powered by WireGuard
• Control exactly which internal resources Grok Bot is allowed to access
Your homelab, your company’s internal dashboards, your private servers, and the tools you built yourself can now become part of Grok Bot’s workflows
For businesses, this is absolutely massive
SpaceX didn't buy solar cells.
It bought the cell machines 🌞
- SINGULUS HJT cell line (DE)
- First line >€60M, due H1 2027
- Scales to 100+ GW of gear
- For Starmind sats, Bastrop TX
Elon: "a sentient sun."
Others go solar. SpaceX goes sun-tier.

The FCC has just announced that it has accepted @SpaceX's application to buy 800 MHz spectrum wireless spectrum from Grain Management, a major step for Starlink Mobile becoming a major carrier in the U.S.
Info:
• 546 paired spectrum licenses covering approximately 100% of the U.S. population.
• Up to 14 MHz of spectrum across all 50 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
• SpaceX plans to use the spectrum to support satellite-to-phone connectivity.
• Public comments are due December 1, with oppositions due December 8.
The transaction still requires final FCC approval.

Jay Leno just tried @Tesla's FSD (Supervised) for the first time. The Model Y L pulled over by itself when an ambulance with its sirens on drove by.
"We got it on self-driving mode! I'm not touching anything."
Jay finally tried FSD! haha
