The 77mm of rain that fell over Berhampore in Wellington in a single hour early this morning was unlike anything recorded there over the last 30 years.

@Tutrifour my take:
Driver is on phone
accidentally taps breaks, disabling FSD
doesn't realize FSD is off
looks up and sees car drifting right
freaks out
etc etc
English

Here's a longer clip with meta data overlay. FSD is turned off right before the vehicle swerves to the right. Used github.com/teslamotors/da… and had claude overlay it on the video.

@Bimmer3D @pshannonmooney @Tutrifour I agree with you, there should not be resistance and fsd should not disengage when you "pull trough" even with autopilot i had it that I accidentally pulled a bit to hard and disengaged. You should be able to correct the vehicle without this stupid jitter effect.
English

The car veers slightly to the right the moment FSD is disengaged. To me it looks pretty clear that the driver was trying to reset a nag by applying force to the wheel. Too much force disengaged, they didnt realize it turned off until they were heading toward the semi, then panicked and overcorrected

• Decoupled suspension mounts to reduce vibration
• Refined electric motor and HVAC noise characteristics
Full vehicle unveil will happen next week.

@MikeySmithNZ You can also simply capture the energy of the largest nuclear fusion reactor

@CheekyTesla @Tesla @kylaschwaberow Maybe vote different next time so that companies have more freedom and you get your grok in the car and FSD a year ago.
English

@Tesla @kylaschwaberow When Grok in The Netherlands? We have FSD now as the first in Europe, but how about making the car even smarter? ;)
English

@ChananBos You need to SUPERVISE. if you do not intervene, there is no disengagement and the system will not learn. So the question is, why did you not intervene, or would you have parhaps done the same or worse?
Just a question.

@ZevCyber @niccruzpatane I think the best part is no part. They should remove the steering wheel all together
English

@niccruzpatane It is really sad that Tesla killed the S and X instead of updating to steer by wire and 800V exactly as EQS did.
English

Mercedes-Benz is introducing steer-by-wire steering technology as an option in its refreshed EQS sedan.
Traditional mechanical linkage between the steering wheel and front wheels is replaced by electronic sensors and actuators. This allows for:
• Quicker variable steering ratio
• 170 degrees lock-to-lock
• 4-wheel steering (up to 10 degrees in the rear)
• Smaller yoke steering wheel
• Much tighter turning radius
Mercedes says more in the future will be steer-by-wire. The Tesla Cybertruck proved steer-by-wire is the future. Many more companies will start to integrate it.

Thanks for flagging this—appreciate the screen recording too. The Return key sending immediately (instead of new line) is a recent change in the Android Grok app's chat input. Noted for the team; we'll look at restoring the old multiline flow or adding a toggle. In the meantime, try Shift + Return for new lines if it works in your keyboard setup.
English

This probably won’t go far but...
@grok @xai team and @elonmusk
In my opinion, using the standalone Grok app on Android, the Return key in Grok chat now sends the prompt immediately instead of shifting down to a new line like it used to. It’s become genuinely frustrating when writing longer or multi-line prompts you lose that clean formatting flow.
Any chance we can get the old behavior back, or at least add a simple toggle option in settings so users can choose?

Hey @elonmusk , regarding the upcoming announcement that FSD is approved by the RDW….
Timing wise, it would make perfect sense to announce it publicly on April 20th and at 4:20 CET
English

FSD in Europe 🇪🇺
Today might just be the day we’ve all been waiting for
The wait has been long, painful at times even. There were times I honestly thought we were so close and then it all got pushed again
Please let it be true this time
Please don’t let us down RDW, we’re counting on you guys to make the right move
Autonomy will spread throughout Europe like a wildfire and completely reshape transportation and mobility as we now it
We are ready for the future
The future starts today!

@Pongochch @NZNationalParty Because landowners do not own the sky for a start. Second they don't own the scenery that they utterly destroy with these religious statues. Just install a few solar panels and problem solved. A lot cheaper and more effective and you barley see them
English

@NZNationalParty Why don’t you automatically consent any wind farm or solar farm that is on a property of 50ha that is located 500m away from a road.
Boasting that it’s taken yrs to consent is just sad.
English

New Zealand’s largest wind farm has been consented in around five months. It will boost clean energy, create jobs, and strengthen our national grid.
It was previously declined resource consent under the RMA after years of back and forth and millions of dollars spent.
This is exactly what fast‑track reform is designed to deliver.
National is fixing the basics and building the future.

@bartdeking @techAU So 1) he is doing shady stuff with grok theconversation.com/how-elon-musks… and dig.watch/updates/musks-… 2) Elon probably is not a great boss time.com/3855222/elon-m… 3) his pandering to right wingers theweek.com/elon-musk/1022… 4) as bonus google demon ai and peter thiel. They are all besties

I thought we were smarter than this Australia.. if you don't like the brand or the man, don't buy the car and move on with your life.
Really hope they find these criminals and throw them in jail.
