Insights into Tesla’s AI and Engineering Culture
Yuna, a senior Tesla AI engineer, highlights the importance of hands-on experience over academic research. She states that PhD graduates often love their theses but struggle to translate findings into actual products. Elon echoes this sentiment, emphasizing that true understanding comes from fieldwork and real-world testing, not just papers.
Elon also showcased Tesla’s ongoing enhancements, including a review of Power Wall 3’s performance across seasons, and celebrated Tesla owners such as Tesla Tom Truth Seeker who has acquired a Model Y. The thread hints at Tesla's continuous product refinement and community engagement.
