@WSJ OK… But aren't we openly doing the same exact thing in Ukraine?

Breaking: Russia is secretly providing satellite imagery and sharing drone technology to help Iran target U.S. forces in the region on.wsj.com/478OhaN

It's so successful that he has been begging everyone for assistance for the last two days, and now is crying that he doesn't need it in the first place. He has made a full of us around the world, because we elected this fool. As for your nonsense about Congress… Absolutely not true well, technically I guess it is true they never "declared war" but they do routinely "authorize the use of military force" which is substantially the same thing. The thing is, there is zero point talking to a Trumper. They support a personality that they would never allow their daughter to date, or their children to possess. They don't care that he lies, cheats, steals… They don't care that he is openly and notoriously the most corrupt president of the United States has ever seen… Facts do not matter. Insurrections become "tourist going for a walk"… Probably false lies of elections being stolen, made by someone who wouldn't know if that was the case, even if it so happened to be true, or take it as "stop the steal"… A 34 time convicted felon, who was indicted on multiple other charges is just having "the justice system Weaponized against him"… Well, he could've just chosen not to commit crimes… The justice system gets Weaponized against criminals.… But I literally do not know why I am bothering to waste my breath. The only solace I have is that no one treats Trump followers like they're stupid more than Trump himself… Fortunately there's fewer and fewer of them every day.

There have been no "lies" or "excuses" regarding this extremely successful military operation, you have simply been falling for Democrat propaganda. There was a discussion regarding the definition of this operation, and whether it should be labelled a "war"... that is just due to silly legal technicalities. Yes, only Congress has the right to declare war... but the last time Congress declared war was in 1942... the U.S. has been involved in many wars since. Presidents launch wars, and usually without any authorization from Congress, but whether it is labelled a "war" is again, just a question of legal technicalities. Has no relevance regarding the military operation itself. Trump has done a FANTASTIC job as President, in many areas... but the Democrats are brainwashed to look at everything he does through a lense of negativity and hate. I disagree with Trump and the GOP on multiple issues, but I have no problem recognizing the many accomplishments he has achieved as President.

Just spoke to @POTUS about our European allies’ unwillingness to provide assets to keep the Strait of Hormuz functioning, which benefits Europe far more than America. I have never heard him so angry in my life. I share that anger given what’s at stake. The arrogance of our allies to suggest that Iran with a nuclear weapon is of little concern and that military action to stop the ayatollah from acquiring a nuclear bomb is our problem not theirs is beyond offensive. The European approach to containing the ayatollah’s nuclear ambitions have proven to be a miserable failure. The repercussions of providing little assistance to keep the Strait of Hormuz functioning are going to be wide and deep for Europe and America. I consider myself very forward-leaning on supporting alliances, however at a time of real testing like this, it makes me second guess the value of these alliances. I am certain I am not the only senator who feels this way.

It's pretty amazing that the same crowd of people that took every fumble Joe Biden made and turned it into a dementia diagnosis, think this guy is perfectly fine. He can't even keep his story straight in the same Q&A session. If your parents did this, you would take the car keys away… Or it's possible he's just completely lying to everybody and does it so openly and brazenly because he has zero respect for the people of the United States or anyone other than himself… Personally, I think it's a little bit of both. #Dementia #IranWar‌

yes, but at some point should they not have to put some type of data beyond just fear mongering that this is an actual thing that can happen? There are so many failsafes in the network and the car that this is unheard of. It's starting to look like they've created a solution to a problem that doesn't exist.

@Tutrifour @MdeZegher I think this is the one thing we disagree on. Requiring an HV inspection keeps the infrastructure and other owners safe. The last thing you want is a salvaged title Tesla getting 'rebuilt' after an accident and then the first Supercharging session a thermal runaway event occurs

We want to help businesses and gas stations navigate the energy transition, avoiding wasted capital, always improving, and just getting it right. This is a good resource answering most questions in what makes Supercharger for Business so special.

@Tutrifour @MdeZegher There is a trick for some people out there… If you get into a wreck with your Tesla and you want to rebuild it… Pay for it yourself, and let the insurance reimburse you up to their limits… That keeps the title clean in the first place. Can't say how I know this works :-)

@MdeZegher How about you guys stop black listing cars with rebuilt titles from using the supercharging network. These cars are legally registered after passing required state inspections..

@TheTeslaHoe You can put them inside the glass, there's no reason to be outside

my starlink keeps flying off while driving im actually very inconvenienced rn

The amount of corruption that is taking place out in the open, can you even imagine what is going to be found the moment they start digging? But there is no talking to these people. These very same people that were screaming at the top of their lungs about Hunter Biden selling a $75,000 painting… Are the very same people that think is perfectly OK that Trump is literally making billions of dollars off of his office directly… Receiving a $400 million aircraft out in the open… He said it once that he could shoot someone on fifth Avenue and he would not lose a supporter, and for some of these people, he is 100% right… But it's definitely not a cult lol. But getting to your deeper point I actually think some of this is going to start next year when the house flips… I'm less convinced the Senate will, but be ready for them to Stonewall every subpoena, and try to run out the clock however, the degree of corruption that will be uncovered, will be hung around every Republican's neck that allowed this to happen. The only way for the GOP to survive is going to be to run away from him which they will conveniently do right after the primary is of 2028. This is a thing that people don't understand, the moment he can't help them anymore they will dump him like a hot rock. The only caveat to that is that he is amassing an absolute fortune which he can then use for political power in the future. That is going to have to be grabbed back.

When Trump leaves office: The Department of War will go back to being the Defense Department. The Trump Kennedy Center will go back to being the Kennedy Center. The Gulf of America will once again be the Gulf of Mexico. The unfinished East Wing (it won't be finished by the end of Trump's term) will be rebuilt by the next president, and it will not be a ballroom. Federal agencies packed with unqualified loyalists will fire those people and rehire the career experts Trump fired. The Department of Justice will go back to enforcing the law instead of protecting the president. Scientific agencies like NOAA, the EPA, and the CDC will go back to publishing research without political interference. The U.S. will re-align with its allies and not with its enemies. The presidential pardon power will stop being used as a rewards program for loyalists. Inspectors General will go back to investigating corruption instead of getting fired for it. The White House press room will go back to having briefings, with real journalists and not podcasters. U.S. foreign policy will stop revolving around flattering dictators. And the world will progress as though Donald Trump never existed.

The truth is the people that get the benefit from roads is not just the people who drive on them… It benefits everyone so this is one of those things that everybody should be chipping in. But we're spending $1 billion a day to go bomb another country… After her screaming that we could not afford to feed our own, or help our own get healthcare… I really don't blame people for giving the government the middle finger.

@rohanspatel @SawyerMerritt Yep. Just put a tax on tires. Much more fair.

NEWS: US House transport committee head wants to collect EV fees for highway repairs. Representative Sam Graves, said he plans to take up a multi-year bill in early April. Last year, House Republicans ​proposed a new $250 annual fee on EVs and $100 for hybrid EVs ​but it was not included in a massive tax and ⁠spending bill. The current five-year surface transportation law expires on September ​30. "We would like to get money from EVs," Graves said at a ​U.S. Chamber of Commerce infrastructure event, saying he expects the five-year bill to include $500 billion to $550 billion in funding for highways and bridges. usnews.com/news/us/articl…

I mean… We are using the roads and not paying a gas tax… Although I'm wondering if a very tiny tax on kilowatt hour usage would hit everyone less… Like .05% or something stupid but I don't know I have not done the math. Everyone gets the benefit of the roads, not just the people who drive on them so it might be a much fairer way to do it.

And by the way… The real test was 9/11. An NATO is a DEFENSIVE organization… Not OFFENSIVE. When we were attacked on 9/11, NATO ran over 350 air combat control missions over the United States, and then served and died with us in multiple foreign wars. If there ever was a test, they passed. That was the only time article 5, which states an attack against one is an attack against all, was ever invoked… And it was invoked to protect the United States of America. You want to know the funny part? The first rationale for bombing Iran would've actually given NATO the requirement to jump in… If Israel attack attacked Iran… And then Iran attacked the United States, it would have put article 5 in play again… And NATO would have stepped up as they would've been required to do… But by us attacking first and becoming the aggressor, we took that completely off the table. And now we have the nerve to complain about it. But you know… He's a stable genius. Oh and by the way, let's not forget that we already have our first Trump appointed Intel officer resigning, saying that the entire thing was garbage and Iran was not a threat. Go figure.

@JimAlger @LindseyGrahamSC @POTUS Because it was a test. And Europe failed. As always. Keep buying your energy from Russia! After 4 years of war....

Hold on… Let me get this straight… First we threatened to destroy NATO by threatening to invade a European country and take it over… Then we call the useless for months… Then with no warning and no preparation whatsoever to the world we bombed the crap out of a country because we thought the war was gonna be over in four days… Oh wait… it's a war that's not a war… Then we said that it would be over in two weeks… We went in because Israel was going to attack them and we were afraid they were going to attack us so we attacked them first, then we bombed them for "regime change" telling the people to rise up against their government… As if that's really possible in Iran due to their governmental configuration… Then we bomb them because we were concerned about their treatment of protesters, then it was because we wanted to prevent them from getting a nuclear weapon… Even though we supposedly "obliterated" their nuclear weapons capabilities, six months ago…all of that mixed messaging was just a test so that when we finally asked the world for help, and they said no we're not getting into your crap that you started without talking to us, now we say "we never needed your help anyway" like a three-year-old child…can you even buy your own BS? Seriously. If your child gave you these excuses, you wouldn't accept them. Just stop. It's embarrassing.

I'm going to agree with you on this one Dillon, the failure to show the telemetry data is telling… Plus, let's be honest here this would not just be an FSD failure, this would be a emergency breaking system failure as well. This would be in the car knew it had to make a turn, didn't slow down at all, which, if I were driving, the car would make me hit the brake and disengage… The driver did neither… And then went right into the wall, which is something that I would have to work to make my car do… Does that mean I know as a fact, it didn't happen? No. But I think those of us who drive these cars every day are getting a little sick and tired of the hate.

@Michael_L_Rauch probably because weve all used fsd for thousands of hours and know it does not do things like this and in nearly every instance its user error and the video didnt include the fsd telemetry data? why not include that its easy to pull

Not saying this is accurate or not, but most of the comments sound more like sports fans or religious faithful that are cheering that it is or overly defensive that it’s not possible. How about we actually get a full investigation & the facts before making a judgement? 🤷‍♂️

well, to be fair, what you generally see in these comments are the anti-Elon people rushing to say the car will kill you… And the pro Tesla people who in their defense have seen a lot of BS over the last 10 years rushed to defend the car… What I try to do is just post my experience which is in a 2024 model S plaid, with hardware four, running FSD version 14.2.2.4… I have had zero interventions in over 3000 miles, and I'm about to go coast to coast and I fully anticipate that will probably be the same but we will see… Personally, I do tend to doubt that FSD was actually engaged or if it was engaged that it wasn't being overridden because I can't imagine my car maintaining that speed on that sketchy of an area, knowing that a turn is coming… It's just not how the car reacts. The problem is that we have seen this countless times before… The splashy headline… In this case Fox even had "terrifying" for Clickbait effect… But the retraction months later? Barely a cricket. So I get it

@ValueAnalyst1 @FoxNews I have driven thousands of miles with zero interventions… So I'm not sure what you are talking about.

@FoxNews $TSLA FSD is DANGEROUS! If you use FSD, you're risking instant death with one second of notice. Elon Musk will say or do anything, tell any lie, to enrich himself. Don’t believe a word that he says, and don’t let your loved ones believe him. He is a liar, a thief, and a disgrace!

'TERRIFYING': Dashcam video shows the moment a Tesla Cybertruck, allegedly operating in self-driving mode, nearly sent a Houston mom and her infant off a bridge before violently crashing into an overpass barrier. The woman claims she suffered multiple injuries from the incident and is now suing the automaker for $1 million.

Parking on my car has gotten so good that once I cleared off the stuff in front of the garage it actually pulls into the garage stops, and unlock the door and put my seat back… As long as it triggers the garage door as soon enough. Can't really complain about that but we do need parking space selection… For example, I am disabled so I would park in a disabled parking space assuming I was in the car… There's no way to select that. The one other thing it's got to get better at is listening to the HOV lane selection…it will randomly pull in or out of the HOV lane and sometimes it's the most inopportune moments… Like when there's a CP officer around lol. And while we are on that subject, there is one quirk that I really wish they would fix and that is understanding when you can exit left from the HOV lane. I go to Disneyland all the time and it constantly will insist, demand to get out of the HOV lane to cut across four lanes of traffic when I could've just exited left on Disneyland Drive and literally end up at the exact same stoplight 20 feet to the right. But I am very quick to point out that these are preference quirks, not safety issues.

@heybryant2 I'd love the rolling stops but doubt that will be a thing for a long time. I usually park manually but I'd just like it to be a little better so I can go from Point A to Point B without ever touching the wheel. I tend to go through parking lots myself.

🚨 What improvements would you like to see Tesla make with the next Full Self-Driving version? For me, it's going to be: ☑️ Better parking ☑️ More assertiveness at intersections ☑️ Better speed reduction when entering slower Speed Limit zones

@heybryant2 @Teslarati As you know, we had rolling stops… The fun police got in the way. I don't think that's coming back for a while because technically you are supposed to stop at a police officer sees you roll through, you will get a ticket so I get it.

@Teslarati Yours except change the order: Tied for 1st is assertiveness and speed control Better parking is far behind at maybe 4th. Bonuses: rolling stops or fast stops (0.5sec) when there's clearly no other cars

I have a weird one... and that is the ability to either set a maximum speed, or at a minimum set a different speed profile, dependent on geo location. Can't go through my gated community in Mad Max mode and blow past the stupid speed camera so that I can donate $250 to the HOA. There are also very specific locations that we know are always being watched by speed trap Pirates… (I'm looking at you @CHP_HQ ) … it would be nice to set it to automatically slow down when you are approaching say the Rocky Peak on ramp to the 118 westbound, or approaching Tapo Canyon in Simi Valley… Just to name two very well-known locations where road pirates just love to sit and wait for unsuspecting law abiding adjacent individuals. :-)

After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today. I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby. It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC. May God bless America.

@scotsrule08 @Tesla_AI I'm sure it has already been said that I like most people don't read the comments before I click reply lol… But it probably has something to do with that angled red light to the left

FSD 14.2.2.5. Green light. Car inches forward then just… stops. Nobody there. No cars. No pedestrians. No objects. Nothing. Waited five seconds. Nothing. Had to hold the accelerator down to get it moving. I've seen others reporting this same behavior at intersections. Something is off or changed in this build. The car is seeing something that isn't there or it's hesitating on a decision that should be automatic. Green means go. 🚥

For the record after 9/11 @NATO stepped up, invoked article 5, AND FLEW OVER 350 COMBAT AIR PATROLS OVER THE UNITED STATES. And this man runs around telling the world they are good for nothing and they've never helped us. They were literally there for us when we needed them the absolute most. When this country was shook to his goddamn knees and was scared of it's own shadow, NATO gave us a blanket and told us it was going be OK, and then they took up arms and fought and died beside us. How dare us. How dare you Senator. #NATO #IranWar afhistory.af.mil/FAQs/Fact-Shee…
