Key Points:
- SpaceX successfully launched the final three SES O3b mPower satellites into medium Earth orbit, completing a constellation aimed at enterprise-grade connectivity for airlines, cruise lines, and governments, distinct from its consumer-focused Starlink network.
- Tesla announced an October 1 event in Waco, Texas, to reveal the next-generation Roadster, expected to showcase a SpaceX-developed thruster package that could enable a 0-60 mph time of about 1.1 seconds, with production targeted for 2027 or 2028.
- Tesla is preparing to release Full Self-Driving (FSD) version 15, featuring a larger neural network and improved safety and collision avoidance capabilities, with early versions already in use in some robotaxi operations.
- Tesla's Cybertruck can now integrate with Powerwall 3 to extend home backup power by over three days, a feature that enhances outage resilience without the need for additional Powerwall installations, addressing a key limitation in previous setups.
