SpaceX's newest satellites carry about 1,024 gigabits of bandwidth each. The generation before carried 96. That is a tenfold leap in a single design cycle, beamed down from orbit. Jumps like that do not happen in industries that have given up, if so can you name me any?
Hi everyone. Here are my Tesla delivery estimates for Q2 2026. The gap between my estimate and the analyst consensus is unusually large this time.
• My estimate: 466,000
• Analyst consensus: 406,024 (based on Tesla's survey of 22 analysts, known as the Company-Compiled Consensus, published on June 26)
Starlink V3 satellites
Bandwidth per Satellite:
• V2: 96 Gbps
• V3: 1,024 Gbps
Bandwidth per Launch:
V2: 2,600 Gbps
V3: 61,000 Gbps
Deployment per Launch:
• V2: 27 satellites (on Falcon 9)
• V3: 60 (on Starship)
Starlink V3 satellites will begin to be deployed in late 2026 on Starship.
Ferrari said the goal of the Luce EV’s design was to achieve the lowest coefficient of drag.
The Luce has a 0.254 Cd.
For some comparison:
• Model S: 0.208 Cd
• Model 3: 0.219 Cd
• Model Y: 0.23 Cd
• Model X: 024 Cd
Just proves that having the lowest possible Cd doesn’t mean you have to design an ugly car.
