Ordered a Dual Motor on Feb 28. Military pricing put it at $59,490. The same truck, 325 miles, 7,500 lb tow is $74,990 today. No VIN, delivery still unscheduled. I’m trading my 2026 Juniper Premium for it the week it opens.
Same engineering, two directions. One ends in a crater, the other ends on another planet. Easy choice.

Steer-by-wire and brake-by-wire on the Performance trim stands out to me.
With no mechanical link, software decides how every input is applied. Production isn't until 2028, so a lot can still change.

"You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give." - Khalil Gibran.
Your time and attention are worth more than anything you can buy someone.
Lower friction on a $1 tip could change who gets paid. Smaller creators with a few strong posts, not just the biggest accounts.
Imagine owning this one day.
When we reach abundance for all, I want to drive this across the country with my wife and kids. Every national park, then up into Canada. No schedule, just exploring the world and living in nature more, the way we were meant to live.

THE BORING COMPANY HQ: Bastrop, Texas, October
Here is my flyover of TBC's Bastrop headquarters and Prufrock factory. It's is where they test every machine before it ships, build and store equipment, precast tunnel segments, liner trucks, vertical cassettes and conveyor belt systems, and more. They house their Prufrock Command Center here to control all the Prufrock's soon to be around the world.
- The SpaceX Pedestrian Tunnel started as Porpoise Test 6 (PT6). TBC first bored it to test (no people in the tunnel) ZPIT continuous mining, an upgraded liner truck and the "SNAILS on RAILS" navigation system. After the test, they turned it into a 500 ft walkway under FM1209 that connects the SpaceX site to Hyperloop Plaza, where The Boring Bodega is. People use it so they don't have to cross that busy road on foot.
- Hard-rock Prufrock-MB4 being constructed for Nashville's Music City LOOP.
- The Test Tunnel PT5 connects SpaceX's Starlink factory to TBC under FM1209. It was the first use of custom hexagonal segments, automated gantry steering, quick craneless retrieval, and the first version of ZPIT. It's now a test bench for liner trucks, vertical cassettes and new belt systems.
- Hyperloop Test Tunnel was PT4; the first craneless, pitless retrieval of the machine. It's now a vacuum tunnel for Hyperloop vacuum pump system testing. It also connects SpaceX's Starlink factory to TBC under FM1209.
- Lastly, Prufrock-5 after completing a test tunnel connecting Ring Ranch and possibly the SpaceX Starmind Factory. I videoed it right before it was loaded up and shipped to San Antonio, Texas, for the Morgan's Wonderland Tunnel.

Thanks for watching!
Motion changes emotion.
My best ideas never came from sitting there thinking harder. They came on a hike, a walk, a run. Outside, moving, letting the thoughts flow instead of forcing them.
The mind works best when the body is moving.
Try Grok @Bot
Stuart Varney: What is this Grok @Bot? You use it.
Phil Rosen: I am using it.
@Varneyco: Who puts it out? What does it do?
Rosen: This is @elonmusk’s frontier lab. I will share personally, I was on Claude for the last year or so, and I would use Claude, ChatGPT, and a little bit of Muse in the last few weeks. Since I started to use Grok Bot this month, I have essentially cut all my other AI tools.
Varney: What's so good about it?
@philrosenn: It's essentially your own staff of AI agents. You can have a chief of staff agent managing your other AI agents, which, again, I get it, sounds a little ridiculous, and I tell my friends and my parents this and they don't understand, and I have to walk them through it on a Zoom call. I use Grok Bot for a lot of content creation now. I use it for some fact-checking stuff, some editing, research. I use it for helping me with my calendar.
It is tragic that so many people still think the news is real
A coworker of mine who once called Elon a Nazi finally said he scheduled to test drive a Model Y yesterday after he learned that I own 2 of them and we talked for an hour about how much I love them and how good FSD is. I asked him how the demo drive went and he told me he cancelled it because he saw on the news how teslas have been hitting people and crashing into trees and houses and that he doesn’t trust that kind of technology. Unreal how fragile people are and how blindly they just believe legacy media.

I don't fully agree. Happiness comes and goes.
What matters most to me is relationships, experiences, chasing your passions and making a difference with your time here.
Don't take more from this world than you're willing to give.

Taxes and red tape are a big part of why so many are leaving California. When a state makes it easier to build and keep what you earn, people go there. Good for Apple. Wouldn't be surprised if their HQ follows one day.

I don’t think people realize what Elon Musk is actually doing.
He’s not playing the game better than everyone else. He’s rewriting the rules of the game.
Every billionaire before him was offered the same deal: money for aura, silence for respectability. They all took it. He walked out.
I made a 4-minute video on the machine he’s fighting. Watch it before it gets buried.
