Weaponized Pixels

Quick take on FSD 14.1.7 on Cybertruck. We are here, banging at the gates of full autonomy. It's so damn good. FFS! The word that comes to mind is "confident." The truck drove like a human—a super confident one at that. I'll take the leap and say "It has replaced my wife as a driver/driving option." During my hour-plus drive I got bored/sleepy it was so good, I opened up @grok on my main screen and had a full on conversation with Ara. We talked my dog's behavior, then about firearms, so much so she recommended a local gun shop (with directions), where I ended up going. It was like having someone else (who is really fkn smart) in the car with me. Surreal. FSD handled a very complex round-a-bout, chewed up the highway and avoided a super close call when a teenager flew out in-front of me while exiting a bank (for some reason the Dashcam footage didn't record it?) I loved the scroll wheel for changing modes vs. speed. I used this almost as much as Grok. It was great b/c the police in our area are fairly aggressive, so "Standard" works excellent, but once out of our local area "Hurry" marries up with my driving style. I will say "Mad Max" was a beast on the Florida highway, you could feel the attitude and it looked for opportunity, so fun. I might rename it to "Florida Man" mode, it drove like an aggressive Floridian.😂 A nice surprise. There was a lot more allowance to check my phone or use the main screen. The monitor only nagged me once (I was being pretty liberal with my phone (not politically😉) as to where it would have nagged me multiple times on the last FSD version. Aha moment. Realizing I'm not needed as a driver and looking around for something to do or someone to talk to...enter Grok. It's crystal clear to see where this is going. Quirks: • Speed bumps. It really didn't pickup the speed bumps in our community like I expected this version would've. A little more training for this. • Parking. When I arrived at my destination it dove head first in to the closest spot in front. Initially I was impressed but; First off, It went in fast (unlike the prior parking option=slow) and only made one slight adjustment, problem is the truck was totally crooked in the spot and sort of blocking in another car. Also, I would like a preference on "where to park" 'Close' or 'Further Away' from the destination. I prefer to keep my car away from the heathens at the front of my destination...and two, I don't mind a little walk. This product keeps getting better. It's unheard of in automotive history that, not only does your vehicle get better over time it can also drive itself.🤯 Thank you for all of the incredibly hard work @Tesla @Tesla_AI @aelluswamy @wmorrill3 @elonmusk —as a Cybertruck owner and Tesla shareholder my confidence level has never been higher.

@elonmusk @SawyerMerritt @MarioNawfal Steve Jobs product mentality: Obsessively great takes time.

@MarioNawfal Optimus 3 is walking around, but needs some finishing touches before it’s ready to be shown

🇺🇸 Tesla Optimus is serving at the Tesla Diner today until sunset. Convenient timing: Tesla had promised the Gen 3 Optimus reveal in Q1 2026, and March ends today. The Gen 3 model is designed for factory deployment, meaning an announcement could drop any moment if the timeline holds. Source: @Tesla_Optimus, @niccruzpatane

@Mappy6984 People that really know how to fight do not get in other peoples faces. Two arms length. Learn it or get starched.

People are miserable as hell

@AB84 Running.

Without drugs... what is the greatest weapon against anxiety and depression?

@elonmusk Great video…but the hand talking.😖

I have had several friends contacting me asking me if it would be time now to sell Tesla as they are panicking. I told him I just bought 10,000 worth today alone and I can’t wait to dump more money into it at prices like these. You should see their face. If you know, you know.

@teslaownersSV Wen next launch?

Starship will make a Kardashev civilization Type II possible

Don't mind me. Just over here keeping an eye on things 🤖👀

@elonmusk That first launch affirmed how much I loved rocketry by the hair standing up on my arms.

Falcon Heavy is so beautiful

@KatieMiller See: Trevor Milton and SBF.

Catherine Bracy, founder of the nonprofit Tech Equity, interviewed Sam Altman years ago about OpenAI being a nonprofit and his decision-making. Her conclusion: “Every day that OpenAI exists, they are violating the law.”

@elonmusk We need Team America.

The uniparty in action

@GuntherEagleman @C_3C_3 Yup.

@C_3C_3 Hold judges accountable and watch violent crime rates drop.

There are 42 states that hold bartenders accountable if the customers they over serve kill someone but 0 states that hold Judges accountable if the criminals they release kill someone. Insane.

@elonmusk Great point.

This needs to change

@SawyerMerritt Baller!

My 75-year-old mom’s FSD usage rate since taking delivery of her new Model Y last month.

@elonmusk When will we see our first Starship launch at Cape Canaveral?

The Starship factory is stunning

@DimaZeniuk @elonmusk When will see the first launch from Cape Canaveral?

Starship is the first planet-colonizer class rocket

@GrantCardone So true.

Alcohol has no real value to mankind.

@farzyness He sells hyperbole stew, with a side of fear. Bernie is the biggest nothing burger in history.

Irony level 100.

@choeshow So dumb. Who is a King anyway? I love how they have to do it, in the afternoon…on a weekend.🤣

If you are taking part in “No Kings” protests today, just call it what it is. You are a commie.

@JBPritzker I agree, we don’t have any. A stew of hyperbole and fear is all your pitch. Oh, and raise taxes. TFOH.

NO KINGS.

@Leia1492 I like how they have to do it, in the afternoon…on a weekend.

I live in Kirkland, WA. Most of the people here are NPCs. A No Kings rally scheduled, 3/28. I've walked through the last two; on my walks. I'm 71. Most of them, way older than me. The "King" in WA state is "Sideshow Bob." aka Gov Bob Ferguson. A useless POS. Signing the bill for the WA state income tax that 65% of the people in WA state don't want. The fake "mail-in" ballots "voted" him in.
