@SawyerMerritt Gates has been irrelevant for more than fifteen years. Why do people still listen to him?

Six years ago, Bill Gates said that an electric Semi truck would never work, and that they aren't practical.
Welp, today Tesla officially started mass production of their Semi truck, and it very much works lol.

But that’s only 2 more cars than 5 minutes ago! What a joke!

@RealUncleTesla This ongoing disinformation comes directly from Toyota's behind-the-scenes actions over the last decade. They did all they could to stop EVs, and now want to join in the game after Tesla proved the market is viable. Screw 'em.

Yesterday a friend told me about a 15 hour road trip they took last week and how grueling it was. I told him you gotta get a Tesla and let it do all the work while you sit back and relax.
His response was:
A) he wouldn't trust it because he heard they get into a lot of accidents
And
B) he would want a car with a solid state battery
I told him about the stats of FSD being 8x safer than a human driver alone but he said he heard the opposite. 🤷🙄
He then went on to say he wants to get an EV Toyota because he thinks they'll be able to make a better EV.
The general public has no idea. 😵💫

UPDATE: Three more Unsupervised Model Ys were added to Tesla's Austin fleet since my post, for a total of 4 today.

Tesla has just added another Unsupervised Model Y Robotaxi to its fleet in Austin, bringing the total number of Unsupervised vehicles spotted to 20. • Austin: 16 • Houston: 2 • Dallas: 2 via @RtaxiTracker

@thejefflutz I can't wait to start seeing these on the highway.

Congrats this is a BIG deal! A whole NEW SEGMENT for Tesla! Some said it could never happen! 👀

First Semi off high volume line

@ZevCyber Why post about this? Tesla cares about both charging and range performance, but with lower priority than what you'd like. That's fine. Buy another offering.
English
Tesla needs to focus on specs...
I say this as someone who is buying this over a Tesla because Tesla refuses to care about charging and range performance.
I care about FSD, but it isn't the only thing I want. I still want a good competitive car.

@starnevs @wholemars @robotaxi They're holding back until they have irrefutable data that overrides any politics.
English
@wholemars @robotaxi So the permit isn’t the hold up, it seems like Tesla is holding back for some reason.
English
Robotaxi is ready to go driverless in San Francisco
Flawless zero intervention ride. And very pleasant with my Netflix and Apple Music profiles syncing

A 3-row Cyber SUV would bring Rivian down to its knees

@DirtyTesLa This terrible UX invites bad data, since users are going to tap at random just to dismiss the screen.
English
None of these fit my disengagement reason and I don't want to send Tesla wrong data so I didn't pick one.
But now I can't enter my destination into the nav so I'm trapped here forever
English
This is the best vehicle design Tesla has ever come up with by far and I will stand on it against all the haters

Glossy Cybercab looks so good ⚡️

I’ve noticed automakers targeting 400+ range with massive batteries. It’s marketing for those that compare apples to oranges.
They’ll compare Teslas 300+ range and think it’s inferior, solely on range numbers. IYKYK. Don’t be fooled. $TSLA

What’s the biggest thing the general public misunderstands about Tesla?
English
Elon Musk appeared more petty than prepared theverge.com/ai-artificial-…

@GraeschMatt @subdivisionguy You're just wrong here. I've put in 10,000+ miles testing FSD and can tell you that the latest version constantly and accurately predicts potential future events.
English
@subdivisionguy The robot driver can never use the thousands of hours of driving experience I have to preemptively know when something bad is likely to happen like a human can. It’s just too qualitative and not enough quantitative. It’s an art, not math…..and I normally side with math
English
Do the airlines realize I’ll rarely ever fly again once FSD tesla lets me sleep in the drivers seat? I know I’m not alone.
English
@GraeschMatt @subdivisionguy You trust your life to technology every time you step on an elevator. And they're very very reliable.
English
@subdivisionguy …….and you trust that technology with your (and your family’s) life? Absolutely zero percent chance I’d ever allow a car to drive for me at any speed

Tesla is operating at a greater scale than anyone else with 1.3 million paid users. They are about to cross 10 billion miles traveled. They’ve generated billions of dollars of revenue from self-driving. And now they’ve got 19 driverless Robotaxis in 3 cities and more than 600 cars total.
Tesla is the only company to deploy self-driving at scale. And yet people like you keep trying to downplay it because it would be embarrassing to you to admit you’ve been wrong for years.
English
At Tesla, rapid robotaxi scaling is always just around the corner.

Elon Musk is the planet’s richest person by far, worth $839 billion as of Forbes’ annual World’s Billionaires list. He also ranks among the least philanthropic billionaires.
Sure, Musk has transferred $8.5 billion of Tesla stock to his charitable foundations (1% of his net worth)—but nearly all of it is still sitting there idle. Only an estimated $500 million, or 0.06% of Musk’s vast fortune, has ever been disbursed to those in need.
His lack of giving raises a question: What would our billionaires ranking look like if the world’s most generous people had never donated a dollar to charity? forbes.com/sites/mattduro…

It seems like the rollout of FSD v14.3.2 was stopped. In my opinion this was due to the disengagement feedback screen implementation. The biggest issue was the inclusion of and OTHER option and no inclusion of a NAVIGATION option. The screen currently does not time-out and go away unless a button is selected, and until a button is selected the map page is covered up. I don't think any screen feedback option should cover up the entire map screen ever, and without a timeout? This was confusing to me.
This should be an easy thing to tweak, and @yunta_tsai did respond "noted" to a post about this too.
I expect we will have a new version out very soon. @Tesla_AI
