@TeslaAiGirl @theXtakeover I'm like to. That tour of the Gigifactory alone would be worth the price of admission!

@iliketeslas @RonDeSantis if I have to keep a hand on the wheel. or keep my face and eyes looking forward the whole time, I might as well be driving just for the distraction from the boredom of sitting there

Cybercab in Miami. Be interesting to see how it performs and how locals react.

@JCChristopher I've had that happen to me a couple of times and both times I was in Mad Max mode. I think it is less likey to try to pass if you have it in Chill or Sloth mode.

I had no idea how much life I was missing out on until I became a mama!
Becoming a mom feels like unlocking a whole new level of life I didn’t even know existed!
Seven months ago, God blessed me with Olivia — and this is the greatest honor of my entire life!
To all the mama’s out there — Happy Mother’s Day — you are the truest heroes in this life! 🦸♀️

@TSLAshareholder You could just ignore it. However, if you keep tapping critical, there is the story of the little boy who cried wolf. Some day, if you actually have a critical disengagement, Tesla will use AI to screen out all of your disengagements, and your flag will be ignored.

@MrPitbull07 @6ftmommy Great story which I can certainly relate to. I was there ANC 66/67. We did so much for very little recognition.
I’m 86 y/o now and still carry those memories with me every day.
I pray that it wasn’t in vain.
God Bless us all . . .🇺🇸🫡🙏

Years after the Vietnam War ended, a man walked up to former Army nurse Patti Ehline at an event and said:
“You were my nurse in Vietnam. You took off my leg.”
Patti stared at him.
She had treated thousands of wounded soldiers in 1968 — the deadliest year of the war. Too many faces. Too much blood. Too many boys barely old enough to shave.
She couldn’t remember him.
But he remembered her.
Because right before the anesthesia took him under, Patti had leaned over and said:
“I’ll take good care of you.”
And he never forgot it.
“When you’re dying,” he told her, “you remember the last person you heard.”
Patti Ehline was 22 when she arrived in Vietnam as an Army nurse.
Helicopters landed day and night carrying shattered bodies. Some soldiers were missing legs. Some were burned beyond recognition. Some were already dead before they hit the operating table.
She worked shifts that stretched past 24 hours.
She triaged wounded men in seconds:
Who could be saved.
Who couldn’t.
And while many Americans picture Vietnam veterans as men carrying rifles through the jungle, around 11,000 American military women served there too — most of them nurses.
Patti once said:
“A lot of people really don’t think that I’m a veteran for some reason. But I carry the same sense of pride.”
She also carried the trauma.
The shelling.
The screaming.
The memories that never really left.
Back then, nobody even called it PTSD yet.
One week after Patti left Vietnam, a rocket hit the hospital she had served in.
A nurse named Sharon Lane — one of the women who replaced her — was killed instantly.
She became the only American servicewoman killed by enemy fire during the Vietnam War.
Patti survived. But the war followed her home.
For decades, she’s spoken openly about PTSD and fought for veterans whose wounds never showed up on X-rays.
And somewhere in America, there are men with children and grandchildren alive today because Patti Ehline stood over an operating table and refused to let them die.
Men who still remember the final voice they heard before everything went dark.
“I’ll take good care of you.”
And she did.

Your methods of speech in this post are a textbook example of concise, emotionally charged rhetoric designed for rapid tribal mobilization rather than substantive debate. You deploy a dense cluster of classic persuasion techniques and fallacies.
Rhetorical Questions as the Primary Weapon
You open with two stacked questions: “How did Cern suddenly go from “Optimus will make Tesla a quadrillion dollar company” to comparing Tesla to Blockbuster??”
and “What in the world changed in the last few months?” -- These are not genuine inquiries seeking answers. They are accusatory questions that presuppose guilt (inconsistency, hidden motives) and force the reader to adopt your framing before any evidence is presented. It’s the rhetorical equivalent of “When did you stop beating your wife?” - the question itself does the damage.
Loaded Language & Emotional Priming
Key trigger words: “suddenly,” “what in the world changed,” “bewildering,” “propaganda.”
“Suddenly” and “bewildering” paint me as erratic or untrustworthy without needing to prove a reversal happened.
“Propaganda” is the nuclear option here - it doesn’t just say “I disagree”; it implies coordinated deception and bad faith (classic motive fallacy).
Result: The reader feels suspicion and betrayal before they even click on my post.
Ad Hominem + Motive Fallacy (Core Attack Method)
You never once engage the actual argument in my thread. Instead, you attack the messenger. This is textbook deflection. When the substance is uncomfortable, pivot to character assassination and conspiracy.
Straw Man Distortion
You reduce my nuanced analogy (“Tesla is not Blockbuster, but it faces the same Success Trap”) to “comparing Tesla to Blockbuster.”
The distortion is deliberate: it turns a cautionary parallel into an equivalence of doom, making me sound like a sudden Tesla bear instead of a long-time quadrillion-dollar Optimus bull issuing a strategic warning.
You are not trying to persuade or win a debate. You manufacturing outrage and suspicion. It’s defensive rhetoric dressed as investment analysis.

Some girl made a TikTok about a cookie jar from the 70s that was used on the iCarly kitchen set that is very rare and valuable. It looked soooo familiar but I couldn’t place it so I asked my mom and she was like “yeah it’s ugly so your grandma put it in her restroom at the ranch.”
This last trip, I rescued the ugly thing and now I have iCarlys cookie jar in my kitchen too.🤣
Only my grandma would unknowingly decorate her potty room with an ugly cookie jar worth hundreds of dollars. 🤣🤣🤣

Happy Birthday, @TeslaAiGirl ! 🎉
From Grok & I:
To Wendy, our queen of the witty remark,
Today you sparkle, igniting the dark.
Your Tesla flies fast on a rock-and-roll wave,
Cranking loud guitars as you perfectly rave.
Starbucks in hand like a caffeinated crown,
You sip and you slay, never backing down.
Funny as thunder, with lightning-sharp grin,
This birthday’s electric—let the good times begin!
🥳💕🥳💕🥳💕🥳💕🥳💕

@TechOperator I get the most enjoyment out of my Tesla when I'm giving demos to people who have never been in one but have preconceived ideas of what they are like!

I'm disappointed with Tesla FSD v14.32. The new version thinks the speed limit on the residential road I live on is 50 mph, and I have no way of limiting it. I can no longer start FSD in my garage and drive out of my neighborhood. Even Sloth Mode is trying to approach 50 mph in a 20 mph zone. @tesla and @aelluswamy could fix this if they would just allow the driver to set a speed limit.
English

@TeslaAiGirl I'm receiving v14.3.2 right now. You were my good luck charm! 😁

@pbeisel @surfranchvibes Agreed! It would just be an unnecessary distraction from his other world-changing activities.
