前段时间，在YC举办的AI Startup School上，YC首席执行官Garry Tan邀请到马斯克连线对谈。这次对 谈非常特别，台下围观的是一群非常年轻的创业者，年龄差不多在18到25岁。其中一些人，已经在AI 领域崭露头角。 面对这些明日之星，马斯克前所未有的坦诚。他讲到的内容非常细节、非常接地气儿，比如1995年，他 在Zip2地板上钻洞接网线；2001年，他飞到俄罗斯买洲际导弹；2008年，SpaceX和特斯拉差点双双破 产…… 再比如，他讲到怎么"简单粗暴"地用第一性原理思维扭转局面，把火箭的成本拉到极限，在6个月建成 10万块芯片的计算中心。还分享了对AI和人类未来的种种预测期盼。 这些内容打破了一个"天才创业者"的叙事，也展现了马斯克一贯的颠覆性思维和务实精神，非常具有借 鉴意义。 我们为你整理并摘取部分内容和观点，希望对你有所启发： 创业只是想做点儿有用的东西 Garry Tan：现在创业者也是越来越年轻了，能回想一下你在18、19岁学编程、甚至构思出第一个创业 方向Zip2的情境吗？或许我们可以聊聊最初的起点。 马斯克：回到1995年，我面前其实有两个选择：要么去斯坦福读材料科学博士，研 ...

The world’s largest Tesla Supercharger station is currently under construction in Lost Hills, California, named “Oasis.” This massive 168-stall site, set to fully open by mid-2025, will surpass all existing Tesla Supercharger stations. It features 11 MW of solar power from ground-mounted panels and canopies, 39 MWh of storage via 10 Tesla Megapacks, and 12 pull-through stalls for vehicles towing trailers. Currently, 84 stalls are operational, with the remaining 84 expected later this year. Located along Int ...
