It just cost me $76.68 to fill up my 2013 Honda Accord. I need a Tesla asap.

Before this year is over, there will be gas stations charging over $10 per gallon, and the nation will face a new crisis since all of those millions of gas station signs will not have enough room for that price.

@RealDanODowd While the waymo would probably add to the mess since we are talking about shit that might or might not happen.

In case you were wondering why Tesla self-driving is so dangerous, this guy is a senior member of the team developing it. He claims he has no idea how to handle approaching a road that's completely obfuscated by smoke. Hint: the answer is to slow down and proceed with caution, which this Tesla didn't.

CA and WA are solving wealth and income inequality. By driving out billionaires, they are driving down their gini coefficients. So if you live on the West Coast, you should be feeling better now.

@Pugfunance @AsiaTravelerBro @KingCyrusCrypto @AIDRIVR @DavidMoss No one said turn off, I said overrides. Yes, it overrides the decision to avoid the person. Maybe read the room before trying to show how smart you are. The topic is running over protesters by the way. oh, most of us are being sarcastic if you need that explained.

@CaptainGrouper @AsiaTravelerBro @KingCyrusCrypto @AIDRIVR @DavidMoss FSD doesn't turn off when throttle is pushed. It turns off when brake is applied, wheel is turned, or speed is exceeded, seat belts, doors open etc. Sometimes you gotta nudge em to go at lights, so throttle disengage would suck.

@KingCyrusCrypto @AIDRIVR @DavidMoss I'm taking delivery of a cyberbeast soon and am wondering if something like that is needed. Is there a car jacker/crowd protestor mode that let's you run over whatever to save your own life?

Not true for FSD. When you post this stuff please provide links to where you got this data because it doesn't match the stats I've seen elsewhere at all. And you realize most people don't know what FSD is. Most crashes in Teslas are driven manually, or with assisted cruise control. Which are not even close to FSD.

I was on @wholemars space this afternoon while my Model 3 drove me for a couple of hours to drop off my taxes. And found myself quite emotional listening to others' stories about theirs. I'll never sell it. It is the best thing I've ever spent money on beyond marriage and bringing children into the world. During the show it passed 159,000 miles. It is the 7,409th one Tesla made. Stood in line overnight 10 years ago to put down $1,000 before it was even announced. (I have a video over on Facebook of the first 100 people in line that I treasure today. Behind us were more than 1,000 in the Danville store). I really feel sorry for anyone who buys something else. I've driven many others since and they simply aren't even close to as good. Even the Chinese ones. They don't automatically drive nearly as well. My eight year old car is still way better than any other that's out today. Except a new Tesla. I studied automotive innovation most of my career because of my perch in Silicon Valley. When I was a kid the auto industry had its R&D centers somewhere else. Detroit. Stuttgart. Tokyo. Today they all have their R&D centers here in Silicon Valley because this is where the talent is that can build the future. Had the first ride in the Fiat 500. First ride in the BMW i3. First ride in the first Mercedes AI car. First ride in the first Tesla. Because two of my high school friends were killed in wrecks. My last book written with @IrenaCronin has a whole chapter about Robotaxis (written seven years ago). Uber was invented right in front of me in a Paris snowstorm. Did one of the first interviews with Lyft's founder. A week ago had a ride in the NVIDIA Mercedes at GTC. I have the first video of a Waymo EVER driving around a Silicon Valley freeway (it's up on YouTube). I had a front row seat on how Tesla outclassed the whole industry and brought software driven automobiles to the market. No one had done so before. Today my eight year old car is WAY better than when I bought it (I picked it up April 4, 2018). If I'm alive in 10 years we'll see maybe 100 million Optimus robots walking around everywhere and many vehicles that Franz @woodhaus2 and team haven't even dreamed up yet. All driving autonomously. And finally the death rate will start going down because of plans made more than a decade ago. There is a reason why I'm an Elon fan and it goes way beyond him giving me a ride in the first one before he gave his best friend a ride. It builds products the others can't match. Even a decade later. Even after Elon showed them. Even after they tore apart his cars to analyze how they were built. Even after I drove mine to Detroit to give people in traditional auto industry their first look back in 2018. And next comes Optimus, a new Roadster, a new semi, a new car without a steering wheel, a new transportation system, new tunnels to go faster across cities like Las Vegas, and more that I can't even dream up yet and I've been a futurist for a long time. It is so awesome finally seeing many "normal" people get what I've been saying for years and seeing the numbers of Tesla's on Silicon Valley's streets go up and up. So many over the years have given me shit about owning a Tesla. Or supporting Elon. Or being one of the first to take my hands off of the steering wheel and sharing that here on X. They all were wrong. Tesla is the world leader in all of transportation, even if you include all the Chinese new brands, which are making cars with more screens and better seats. Soon everyone will understand that transportation isn't about having a leather dashboard or seats, but about having better AI. And Tesla's is the best. And I'm talking about the AI running in my eight year old car. The AI that runs in today's Teslas is even better than that. And, yes, I know that lots of engineers claim theirs is better. But they won't give me one of theirs to drive around for a few weeks. There is a reason for that. Theirs isn't as safe. Isn't as smooth. Isn't as capable. And by the end of the year everyone will recognize that.

@AIDRIVR I’ve had FSD slam the brakes a few times before, never half this bad, but it’s incredibly bad. Just go. That’s what a human will do.

@AIDRIVR Disagree. Its not safe (particularly to occupants, plenty of things could go wrong) or comfortable, even without a car behind. I strongly believe FSD should have done the (technically) illegal thing and run it because there’s still time to get through before traffic flows in.

Just got a call from my local Tesla store asking if I’d like to transfer my FSD to a new car. I told them: 1. I’m not in the financial position to purchase a new car. 2. I’d like to see the FSD I’ve purchased outright back in 2019 to be able to perform the way it should on my car. 3. I’d like Tesla to allow transferring of my FSD whenever I’m ready without a time limit. @elonmusk

@Chansoo @TeslaJoy No they won't. Neither will any other software company. I problem is you also bought at a certain version. Just because I bought windows 7 because it was supposed to be the best and last operating system ever needed they didn't give me a Windows 11.
