Tesla Full Self Driving Rolls out to 100,000 Vehicles + SpaceX Starlink/Starship News · Elon Musk Podcast

• 0:00
  Hi everybody. Welcome back to the show.
• 0:02
  We're going to be talking a little bit about Teslas.
• 0:05
  Full self-driving beta today and who's going to be getting it
• 0:09
  soon. Also we're going to be talking
• 0:11
  about a little bit of Starship news and Falcon 9 and starlink
• 0:16
  and T-Mobile. Do you remember when they did
• 0:18
  that thing with SpaceX starlink and T-Mobile this little bit
• 0:22
  ago, that was really cool. So we're going to be talking
• 0:25
  about that. So let's dig into the full
• 0:28
  self-driving bait. Canoes that just came out.
• 0:31
  This is full self-driving. Beta ten point six, nine point
• 0:36
  two six nine. Nice Ilan.
• 0:39
  Said that it will roll out to 100,000 testers next week as it
• 0:44
  had been planned for a while. This will be the last phase of
• 0:48
  Tesla's, latest software update release in in the first phase
• 0:52
  Tesla, released the full self-driving, beta update to
• 0:55
  around 1,000 testers and the crew released 10.
• 1:00
  It's six. Nine point one this week to 10th
• 1:03
  up zip testers. So in a week's time we're going
• 1:06
  to be seeing 100,000 people testing FSD beta 10.6, 9.2 and
• 1:14
  the critics have been all over full self-driving recently.
• 1:18
  They've been doing tests where they've been debunking.
• 1:22
  The fact that full self-driving and Tesla's models show smaller
• 1:28
  people like children in The road and roundabouts where they have
• 1:32
  to pause and roundabouts. They don't really know how to
• 1:34
  drive around roundabouts. Those are being debunked by
• 1:37
  Tesla owners all over the place. The people with FSD right now.
• 1:42
  So listen to them, take them with a grain of salt because the
• 1:48
  FSD beta program is rolling out to 100,000 testers next week and
• 1:53
  that's insanely. That's an insane amount of data
• 1:57
  that they'll be able to gather really quickly because The test
• 2:01
  subject is a thousand that a bumps up to 10,000 testers and
• 2:04
  then it bumps up to 100,000 testers.
• 2:07
  Just imagine 10 times the amount of data coming into Tesla
• 2:11
  servers where they can crunch that data, they can make
• 2:14
  adjustments as they go with real life.
• 2:17
  People driving on the roads. This is going to be a huge step
• 2:21
  forward for the 10.6 9.2 beta out there.
• 2:26
  So, there's there's a tweet from Whole Mars.
• 2:29
  As catalog that said, 10 .69 is so much more human-like and it's
• 2:32
  driving. It's just delightful expand to
• 2:35
  all OG beta testers ASAP please. And then Elon Musk replied with
• 2:40
  ten point six point or ten point.
• 2:42
  Six. Nine point two goes out to a
• 2:43
  hundred thousand donors next week so he announced it on
• 2:46
  Twitter that this is all happening, really fast.
• 2:49
  It you know, just a little bit ago, people were clamoring to
• 2:54
  get the into the Beta but now, it looks like 100,000 people are
• 2:59
  going to Bien then after that it's going to be a full wide
• 3:03
  release to all Tesla cars with FSD and also make sure to get
• 3:08
  FSD sooner rather than later if your price conscious about your
• 3:15
  vehicle because it's going from twelve thousand dollars to
• 3:20
  fifteen thousand dollars. So be careful of that be be
• 3:25
  forewarned that test the plans to raise the price of SFS D
• 3:29
  beta. After the release of 10 .69.
• 3:32
  So anyone interested in getting FSD you know check it out.
• 3:36
  Purchase it now it's twelve thousand dollars now and test
• 3:39
  the plans to raise it to 15,000. So reiterating that please save
• 3:43
  yourself, three thousand dollars.
• 3:44
  If you can buy some new tires, new rims or something, you know,
• 3:47
  get some get a cool rap for your car.
• 3:49
  Something cool like that. So buy it now and you said I
• 3:52
  should three thousand dollars to, you know, to invest in your
• 3:55
  vehicle for the future. So that's where we're at right
• 3:58
  now with Tesla. Now I want to Talk about
• 4:01
  starlink a little bit, Royal Caribbean is teaming up with
• 4:07
  SpaceX and starlink they've announced plans to use starlink
• 4:13
  internet services to enhance its guests and crew members
• 4:16
  experience across its whole Fleet.
• 4:18
  The company will install starlink International Celebrity
• 4:23
  and silver sea, cruise ships and we'll also add Sterling to all
• 4:27
  new vessels for the brand. So the good thing about Star
• 4:30
  Lake is that all you really need is a clear view of the sky.
• 4:34
  And when you're out in the ocean right now, the internet
• 4:38
  possibilities are very, very dull, very dim internet
• 4:42
  possibilities at this point. And if you have a bunch of
• 4:46
  starlink satellite dishes on your boat and your giant ship
• 4:51
  and you have, you know, thousands of people on board,
• 4:54
  those people will be using start link to connect to the internet
• 4:57
  which is great. So just recently A couple months
• 5:00
  ago, Ilan said that starlink will be able to be used on
• 5:04
  boats, will be able to use that planes eventually trucks, Etc.
• 5:08
  But they also just released this really cool update for the Royal
• 5:15
  Caribbean group. So here is a little bit of
• 5:19
  background for you about this. So Royal Caribbean said our
• 5:23
  purpose as a company is to deliver the best vacation
• 5:26
  experiences to our guests responsibly and this new
• 5:30
  offering which is the public the biggest public deployment of
• 5:34
  Starlings, high speed internet in the travel industry so far.
• 5:37
  Demonstrates our commitment to that purpose.
• 5:39
  Now this technology will provide game-changing internet
• 5:42
  connectivity aboard, our ships and enhancing the cruise
• 5:44
  experience for guests and crew alike will improve and enable
• 5:47
  more high-bandwidth activities like video streaming as well as
• 5:50
  activities like video calls. So if you're on a cruise ship,
• 5:52
  let me just do a little aside here.
• 5:55
  If you're on a cruise ship and you're you're excited, you're
• 5:57
  hanging out on his boat, you know, you're in the middle of
• 5:59
  the In is beautiful. But you're like, you know what?
• 6:04
  I want to watch The Lord of the Rings.
• 6:06
  But you can't stream it because there's no internet.
• 6:10
  Now you can. So if you're going to be on a
• 6:13
  Royal Caribbean group ship in the future, you can watch Lord
• 6:17
  of the Rings and the middle of the ocean someplace, it's gonna
• 6:19
  be pretty wild. So they go on to say our work
• 6:24
  with SpaceX is another example of how Royal Caribbean group
• 6:26
  continuously the crudest cruise industry and Innovation adoption
• 6:30
  of Cutting Edge technology. Basically a press release and
• 6:33
  SpaceX vice president of Starling sales.
• 6:35
  Nathan Hoffler said he's excited about working with Royal
• 6:39
  Caribbean, said, Royal Caribbean group selected Starling to
• 6:42
  provide high speed low, latency internet access across their
• 6:46
  Fleet will, and it will make their passengers getaways even
• 6:50
  more luxurious. So basically, hey, if you want
• 6:53
  to do a face time with somebody and you're out in the middle of
• 6:55
  the ocean, if you miss somebody, see if you know Grandma, you
• 7:01
  know, wants to wants to talk to you in the middle of the ocean
• 7:04
  and Graham is back. In San Diego or something.
• 7:07
  And around the ocean someplace you can FaceTime grandma.
• 7:11
  And yeah, you'll have a have a good experience according to
• 7:15
  Royal Caribbean and SpaceX because starlink its gaming
• 7:19
  speed internet and all it needs is a view of the sky to work.
• 7:24
  So it could be you know, it'll be right on the, it'll be on the
• 7:28
  ship of be bolted to the ship in will have a clear view of the
• 7:32
  sky so could possibly get, you know, You know, it's the, the
• 7:38
  Starling Maritime and I believe they're using those same ones
• 7:43
  and those are 350 Meg's per second downloads while it's
• 7:47
  easy. So that's pretty good.
• 7:48
  If they have different satellites all over the ship,
• 7:52
  you'll have a pretty good connectivity at that point.
• 7:54
  And so, The cost of this thing, too, it's really not that
• 7:58
  expensive. If you think about it for a
• 8:00
  cruise line to have internet. Plus it's safer out in the
• 8:03
  ocean, right? Because if you have a distress
• 8:05
  call or something and they do have certain sort of bands
• 8:09
  frequencies, they use in certain sort of communication that they
• 8:12
  already use for emergencies. But it's a, if those go down for
• 8:15
  some reason and you, the only reliable thing you can use is
• 8:21
  starlink there's a one-time Hardware costs of In dollars per
• 8:27
  satellite dish, not bad for the boat, right?
• 8:31
  So if you spend, you know, a hundred thousand dollars per
• 8:34
  boat, maybe have 10 of these headlights on their dishes, I
• 8:37
  should say. And then per month you pay five
• 8:41
  thousand dollars, right? So possibly Royal Caribbean will
• 8:45
  charge a little bit more, you know, per customer for the
• 8:51
  opportunity to use high-speed internet because I know when you
• 8:54
  jump on that plane, Lane everybody does it, everybody
• 8:57
  does it. It's like do you get the free
• 8:59
  plan? Which is where the slow is
• 9:01
  different, airlines offer different value as well.
• 9:05
  So do you get the free plan which is really slow.
• 9:08
  And, you know, it takes, you know, 30 seconds to load up
• 9:12
  Reddit, almost impossible to send a text message to somebody
• 9:16
  when you're in the air or do you pay a little bit more?
• 9:20
  Do you bump it up for 20 bucks, 30 bucks, whatever?
• 9:25
  So that's where they're going to make their money real Caribbeans
• 9:27
  going to make their money due to probably upgrades to plans to.
• 9:31
  So yeah, we'll see. We'll see what happens in the
• 9:34
  future and see how this all works out, but it looks like
• 9:36
  they're going all in like it looks like the whole Fleet is
• 9:41
  going full on starlink for the future so seems like it's going
• 9:47
  to be okay. And the information, the the
• 9:53
  speeds going to be pretty Especially if they're out there
• 9:55
  in the sea and they kind of need this back-up plan, right?
• 9:58
  So SpaceX also is testing, the show is brought to you by
• 10:03
  backblaze. I use back place to back up my
• 10:06
  podcast. My video files, all of my
• 10:08
  writing stuff, and all my photos.
• 10:10
  And you get unlimited computer backup, for Macs, and PCs for
• 10:13
  just $7 a month. You can backup your own
• 10:16
  documents photos videos. Drawings projects, all of your
• 10:20
  data and access your backed up data from anywhere in the world
• 10:23
  using the web app and you can access the files on your mobile
• 10:26
  to iOS Android apps all covered. And this is a cool part.
• 10:30
  This is my favorite part. You can restore it by mail, a
• 10:32
  hard drive will come to your house with all your data shipped
• 10:35
  to your door. I could come to your business to
• 10:37
  and you can restore return refund program so you can buy a
• 10:41
  hard drive restore, send the hard drive back within 30 days
• 10:44
  and get a full refund. So basically they ship you this
• 10:47
  hard drive and then you ship it back and you don't ever pay for
• 10:50
  it which is the perfect program for somebody who has huge file.
• 10:54
  You don't want to waste days and days, downloading terabytes and
• 10:57
  teraflops of data. And if you're worried about
• 10:59
  accidentally, deleting your files to bucks extra month, you
• 11:03
  can increase your retention history to one year, and I use
• 11:06
  it for all of my video. Files comes in super handy.
• 11:09
  So seven dollars plus two dollars nine dollars a month and
• 11:12
  you get everything backed up. He's a mind for up to a year.
• 11:15
  And if you use the URL back, place.com slash Ilan, you get a

  So go to back place.com slash Ilan back plays.com Ilan
• 12:10
  backblaze.com, Ilan booster 7 in ship 24.
• 12:16
  So 24/7 down at Boca Chica at Starbase booster. 7 is going to
• 12:23
  be doing a static. Take fire test at some point.
• 12:25
  There was an overpressure notice last night for today, actually,
• 12:31
  for the 31st and we're hoping that, you know, will get a, we
• 12:37
  get a static fire test. We're not sure how many engines
• 12:39
  they're going to be static firing at this point but there's
• 12:42
  a possibility that they do anywhere between 10 and I mean
• 12:47
  there's 33 engines on the thing so it's possible.
• 12:50
  They do anywhere between 1. 33. So, but we're guessing it's
• 12:56
  possibly going to be a dual kind of testing array today.
• 13:02
  So they might do a smaller tests just to make sure that
• 13:05
  everything is still working, right?
• 13:06
  And everything's good and all the plumbing Works basically,
• 13:09
  might do a smaller array test. So a couple couple Raptor two
• 13:13
  engines going and then they may move on to ten Reptar two
• 13:18
  engines, which would be incredible because this Starship
• 13:23
  is Supposedly the one that speak going to be going to orbit and
• 13:27
  that's a huge step for. So this is literally the biggest
• 13:30
  rocket has ever been built. It's about 150 feet tall a
• 13:35
  hundred forty, some odd feet tall but I say 100 not 150. 400
• 13:40
  feet tall. I should say.
• 13:41
  So the ship itself is 150 feet tall and the boosters, 250 feet
• 13:46
  tall around that size, it's easier to round up, but sending
• 13:53
  something like Starship into orbit has never been done.
• 13:56
  So these testing, basically it's a research and development
• 14:03
  environment down there. It's a, it's out in the middle
• 14:05
  of nowhere. It's a desert, you know, it's a,
• 14:09
  it's a, it's a, it's a wild place down there, man, there's
• 14:13
  sand dust storms. There's hurricanes is blazing
• 14:19
  heat everyday, 130 degrees are not 130. 130 would be insane.
• 14:24
  Like 103. I've been down there at 103
• 14:26
  degrees 104 degrees. Now, the sun is out all the
• 14:29
  time, but these people are working there all the time, like
• 14:32
  day and night. 24/7, working to get this thing built and ready
• 14:36
  for a fight, which should happen.
• 14:39
  Should possibly happen sometime later this year.
• 14:42
  So, I'm a huge rocket Enthusiast.
• 14:44
  I'm a space, flight Enthusiast. And I have a YouTube channel
• 14:47
  called space news, pod, where I go over all this stuff, like in
• 14:51
  detail and tell everybody about News about space flight Starship
• 14:57
  basically a lot of SpaceX stuff in NASA stuff.
• 15:01
  So if you're interested, go check that out.
• 15:03
  But they are testing down there today and they've also just
• 15:09
  completed the 57th operational. Starling launch going back to
• 15:13
  Starling here. That's a huge deal for the 57th
• 15:16
  times. SpaceX has delivered a batch of
• 15:20
  starlink satellites to low earth orbit.
• 15:22
  So this is You know, this is a this is a groundbreaking
• 15:28
  occurrence and it launched from Vandenberg space force base in
• 15:32
  California they set up version 1.5 satellites so they're
• 15:38
  working a version, two satellites.
• 15:40
  These are going to be bigger. So the version 2 satellites are
• 15:44
  going to have a bigger footprint in a bigger antenna array.
• 15:48
  And Ilan has said numerous times that the set of the array, Ray
• 15:54
  is too big to fit in a falcon 9 in the current fairing
• 15:58
  configuration. So Elon and the head of T-Mobile
• 16:04
  actually. We're down at Starbase Last week
• 16:08
  and they announced that SpaceX and T-Mobile are going to be
• 16:11
  working together to bring satellite internet connectivity
• 16:15
  to your phone, which is incredible.
• 16:19
  So basically anybody that is in the middle of nowhere, See if
• 16:24
  your car breaks down on a lonely desert highway on your way down
• 16:28
  to Starbase. You can call somebody with your
• 16:33
  phone. You can text somebody and say,
• 16:35
  hey my car broke down, I need some help at this point.
• 16:39
  There was no other way to do that.
• 16:40
  There are ranges in the middle of the mountains where you have
• 16:45
  zero connectivity to anything. You can't get internet there.
• 16:51
  You cannot get you know regular phone like you and I have like
• 16:56
  Verizon or T-Mobile or AT&T or Sprint or whatever.
• 16:59
  There's no, there's no connectivity.
• 17:00
  Ribbity. So they have to use satellite
• 17:02
  phones and they have to use other sorts of technology in
• 17:05
  order to communicate with people, in case something
• 17:08
  happens. So SpaceX and T-Mobile put out a
• 17:11
  teaser video. Basically saying, hey, if you're
• 17:14
  going to be climbing a mountain, if you're going to be hiking
• 17:16
  some place, if you're going to be out in the middle of nowhere,
• 17:18
  this is going to help you for the adventurer out there for the
• 17:21
  people that work in the middle of nowhere.
• 17:24
  You know, they showed a person in a, in a plane, it was in the
• 17:27
  Arctic someplace and he's like, yeah, if I don't, you know,
• 17:30
  Don't hear from me by 3:00, they start rounding up the people to
• 17:33
  come find me. And I thought that was pretty
• 17:37
  moving because at 3:00 every day this person has to jump in their
• 17:42
  plane and fly back to their headquarters.
• 17:45
  And if they don't check in before then, then people get
• 17:50
  worried. But if they don't check in by 3,
• 17:53
  then people get worried and with the starlink connectivity via
• 17:59
  the phone. He has be like, hey, by the way
• 18:04
  I'm hurt, you know, the plane broke down, whatever it is.
• 18:07
  I need help. Here's where I am.
• 18:09
  Come get me. So if there's a, if there's a
• 18:13
  problem, you know, T-Mobile and SpaceX and starlink are going to
• 18:18
  be there for people, but it's going to be rolling out in the
• 18:21
  next year. So don't expect it anytime soon,
• 18:24
  but you'll be able to use your current phone to do it, which is
• 18:27
  really great. It's going to be using a band
• 18:30
  for the current phone. So don't have to upgrade
• 18:33
  anything. You don't have to buy a T-Mobile
• 18:35
  branded phone, or you don't have to like change from your iPhone,
• 18:38
  your Android device you can basically use your current
• 18:41
  Phone, certain smartphones. Of course there are going to be
• 18:45
  models that don't work, but there's going to most
• 18:47
  smartphones. They said are going to work.
• 18:49
  So keep your current phone sign up for this plan.
• 18:53
  Most T, Mobile plans will have it available except for like the
• 18:56
  cheapest plans, so don't get the cheap plan.
• 19:00
  If you're going to switch over to T-Mobile, if you want
• 19:02
  starlink in the future or keep this, you know, do the cheap
• 19:04
  plan now? And then upgrade eventually once
• 19:07
  they do have star like, but Elan also said hey we know that I
• 19:13
  said version 2 of starlink can only fit in a Starship because
• 19:16
  Starships the only vehicle that's big enough in the FCC.
• 19:21
  Got a paper from space, exit stated, we are working on sort
• 19:28
  of a smaller version of the version to Starling satellite to
• 19:32
  fit into the fairing of a Falcon 9 rocket because we're not 100%
• 19:38
  sure. Sure.
• 19:39
  That Starship is going to be ready in time so that shows a
• 19:43
  little bit of pushback from SpaceX about the deadlines that
• 19:48
  Elon has stated numerous times, he wants Starship to go to orbit
• 19:51
  by the end of this year. So I'm going to be going down to
• 19:55
  that launch if possible. So if you like this podcast,
• 19:59
  please make sure to subscribe. That's the easiest way for you
• 20:02
  to help out if you want to have a conversation about it, I'll be

  doing more Starship stuff in the future more Starship.
• 20:10
  Podcast in the future and also go to space news pod on YouTube
• 20:13
  for more Starship content. I was down there, I spent 10
• 20:16
  months down there, covering Starship everyday basically
• 20:20
  standing on the side of the road in 103 degree weather, that 130
• 20:24
  degree weather. I know that some of you heard me
• 20:27
  say 130 degrees earlier but it was about 103 degree weather and
• 20:31
  standing on the side of the road covering Starship for hours.
• 20:34
  You know, it's a it's a brutal place.
• 20:37
  But I want to go back because the star Ship launch is going to
• 20:40
  be so incredible and I'm going to have more information about
• 20:43
  how you can help in the future for those Starship launches
• 20:48
  because I got to get back. And fundraising is the only way
• 20:52
  I can do it. This podcast doesn't make enough
• 20:55
  money. Really, I'm gonna be honest with
• 20:56
  you. This podcast doesn't make enough
• 20:57
  money to send me down to 22, Starship land there at Boca
• 21:04
  Chica Beach. So I'm going to end.
• 21:06
  This is my full-time thing. I do the YouTube thing and I do
• 21:08
  the podcast This thing. So I'm going to have a link in
• 21:12
  the description for a GoFundMe for my for my future.
• 21:18
  Journeys down to Starbase and other rocket launches in the
• 21:22
  future. So if you want to help out
• 21:24
  that's the best way to do it. And also if you want to
• 21:27
  subscribe to the show, that would be really great to just to
• 21:29
  help out a little bit more. So SpaceX starlink T-Mobile just
• 21:37
  you know, think about that for the future.
• 21:39
  For your next phone plan, which one is best for you?
• 21:42
  But let's go to Starship launched together by the end of
• 21:46
  this year. Hopefully, hopefully by the end
• 21:48
  of this year. So thanks everybody for
