The much anticipated FSD v14.3 is expected to reach wide release in a few weeks. Correct me if I'm wrong @grok, but my understanding is that this version is supposed to incorporate greater reasoning capability and a 10x parameter count increase. In other words, this should get us over the line for increasing deployments of Robotaxis and the Cybercab.

@DBurkland @pbeisel It’s in testing right now. Wide release in a few weeks.

I remember when the semi was first unveiled and people were saying that semi drivers wouldn't want to drive it.

WSJ: Tesla Finally Has Its First Semi-Truck and It’s Already a Hit With Truckers. "Truckers who drove it in pilot tests say they loved features including a centered driving position, faster charging and longer range for about $100,000 less than other battery-electric trucks. Angel Rodriguez, a 56-year-old truck driver for Hight Logistics in Long Beach, Calif., recently swapped out a 13-gear diesel truck for a Tesla Semi, which is automatic, for a one-month pilot test. “It’s just easier on your body. It’s less stressful because you’re not really having to engage the clutch and the stick shift.” Big F Transport employs five mechanics to service more than 40 diesel-powered rigs and a fleet of trailer chassis in Wilmington, Calif. “If we go all EV we will only need one [mechanic] to service chassis,” said Geovanny Melendez, the carrier’s VP of operations, who went to see the Semi earlier this month at a ride-and-drive event near the Port of Long Beach. Jennie Abarca, co-founder and CEO of King Fio Trucking in Long Beach, Calif., once worked as a truck dispatcher and her husband is a truck driver, so she knows all too well the toll a diesel engine takes on people’s lungs and hearing. She eventually wants to swap out King Fio’s 27 diesel trucks to create an all-electric fleet. King Fio already has 11 battery-electric trucks from Volvo and Nikola. But the company limits those trucks to shorter trips to and from local ports because they only have a range of about 225 miles. The Semi, by contrast, can travel 500 miles on a single charge, according to Tesla. For King Fio that means two or three round-trips a day from Long Beach to warehouses in the nearby Inland Empire or a single round-trip to Las Vegas. She has 20 Semis on order. “The Teslas change everything,” Abarca said. “It opens up a whole different type of delivery that I can make.”

@LimitingThe that's too bad, you're one of the best in terms of technical content and judgement

Nailed it. My motivation on X has been killed the last month. I feel like I've been disconnected from the Tesla community in terms of content consumption and interaction. And as a frequent poster, sometimes a high quality post will do a decent number of views, but other times it won't get any. Sometimes an emoji will perform better than thoughtful analysis.

@elonmusk The instability is the biggest hurdle. Between unpredictable reach and a 'For You' feed that feels disconnected from my actual community, the ROI on high-quality content has plummeted. Creators need a reliable feedback loop, not a void. And bigger payouts would be nice too lol

@LimitingThe I agree. My motivation to post and engage on here has plummeted, which is sad because I genuinely feel this is my community.

🚨 BREAKING: Republican Senators just attempted to CALL DEMOCRATS’ BLUFF and attempted to pass ONLY the Voter ID portion of the SAVE America Act But Democrats BLOCKED IT. That’s why we have to go ALL IN. They will NOT pass just Voter ID — regardless of what they say Dems LIE!

@40trillz IQ is the most accurate psychological measurement we have Yes, it doesn't measure all people accurately or fairly, but in aggregate it is a real thing Without intelligence you can't solve problems. Luckily, AI is coming to replace that lost intelligence

@LimitingThe Reality is as you make it. I’d probably failed a lot less in high school if I’d have been able to instantly generate songs and videos to better describe complex ideas than have teachers struggle teaching me ideas when they knew I’d rather be out hotair ballooning anyway

@LimitingThe Huh. This is stupid. It’s simple a statement that population will decrease. Not a statement that the % of smart people will decrease

@spaceMonster I think you're right I'm not a fan of too much hierarchy, but I'm also not a fan of no hierarchy.

@LimitingThe Also what is painfully missing is "knighting" Back in the days small accs could get a huge visibility bump and highly motivating 10sec of fame when a bigger account liked/commented on their content. Algorithm doenst care about that at all anymore.

@LimitingThe Funny as a small account I got both the quoted post from Diana and yours today, almost like the algo is in fact listening and working. Not sure how to trigger it in your favor but I see your post here and there as I would expect.

@LimitingThe I disagree. The feed finally doesn't center around 2 topics (e.g. Tesla and US politics) all damn day, and finally has some down to earth stuff. Much improved.

@johlugo I'm still getting okay traction with people that follow me. But it's just significantly more erratic and I'm not saying a lot of familiar faces that I usually do. Or at least it feels that way to me.

Thank you captain obvious. This is about the for you feed. I shouldn't have to sift through my following feed. That breaks the experience. I'm not seeing posts that I know I would like from people that I typically follow in my for you feed. I have to go to their account and look for the posts manually. People who would typically like my posts have disappeared, which indicates it's probably not showing up in their for you feed. This isn't rocket science.

@LimitingThe How do you know the people in your community don't see your posts and just don't care to engage, because it doesn't interest them? Things typically get views based on engagement. If you want to follow your people, there is a "following" column.

@LimitingThe Most people don't want thoughtful analysis, unless you're consistently dropping profound truth bombs throughout. They want to the point opinions, analytical conclusions, or subject matter they can digest in seconds. Maybe not what you want to hear, but the truth.
