Model Y Maniac 🇺🇸

I’m so happy with legacy Model Y’s white interior then I don’t think much about upgrading but probably will eventually, lured by the Performance’s 0.2s quicker to 60, more side bolstered seats, plusher interior, dynamic frequency damped suspension, etc. My biggest fear about the upgrade is how the perforated seats will play with my proclivity for spilling coffee

@ModelYManiac I liked that they added that little bit of flare on the door. My '22 MY was like your '21. Still awesome! Just a bit more awesome now!

I catch myself admiring the door design in my '26 MYP quite often. I like the multiple materials and textures. 😊

@dr__dwayne @spicco05 She’s beautiful in spite of her twisted frunk lid, and although endowed with only HW3, it’s the ticket to an AI4 upgrade, or free (vehicle lifetime licensed) FSD with a new Tesla

Panel gap perfection is purely cosmetic. That’s why it hasn’t been a priority for Tesla owners Your anecdote of the white NMY’s barely noticeable hatch gap asymmetry notwithstanding, the cosmetic quality of Teslas -even produced at the Fremont plant- is world class —comparable to any German OEM, once it gets production dialed in (~mid 2020 for Fremont Model Y, and probably mid-2025 for its New Model Y) Not that Fremont hasn’t struggled with perfection -Elon himself acknowledged this- but the meme of Tesla panel gap mayhem is largely the product of TSLAQ and short-seller detractors amplifying imperfections in early copies of Tesla’s technically ambitious S and X Of these three Fremont legacy Model Y’s, only TerraTern (2020.06.30) has noticeable alignment imperfections. Both RoadRaven (2021.12.23) and SilverSwan (2024.12.23) look perfect to me

Look 👀 what showed up in my Driveway Today. 2026 Model Y AWD Premium.

@DennisCW_ This Frost Blue Model X filled my window yesterday afternoon (Sunday 26.05.24 6:33 PDT)

Frost Blue is about to become the new white Tesla 😭 Model Ys in Frost Blue are gonna be EVERYWHEREEEEEE

@Brian.Maxwell on YouTube (@Brian_Maxwell_ here on 𝕏) is a great subscribe/follow. His recent video is a thorough review of the (overwhelming) evidence of #ElectionTheft2020 Given investigations underway in GA by DOJ and GBI, we could see numerous 2020 elections be decertified

To show that it’s hip with Statship and Elon’s multiplanetary plans Also approval of the SpaceXAI IPO The sky seemed to salute Starship V3’s maiden voyage. This clout is just so reentry

MYM’s log, stardate 26.05.24 (Sunday May 24) Why would the sun need sunglasses?

@dr__dwayne @spicco05 I can only speak for myself: Shortcomings (or overshootings) of panel edges from perfect by fractions of millimeters don’t matter Imperfections in how my Tesla parks itself do

@ModelYManiac @spicco05 A lot of Americans are used to poor quality American-made cars so probably think very little of Tesla's shortcomings.

@dr__dwayne @spicco05 I wouldn’t have even noticed. For a more target rich environment, you could look through my timeline, and probably find many defects with my Ys’ bodywork that I haven’t detected after years of ownership

@spicco05 I hope it's better assembled than this brand new 2026 Model Y that I was just driving behind. Check out the rear hatch alignment. 🤦‍♂️

@iam_elias1 @thewriterme ChatGPT, the product of the theft of the nonprofit organization OpenAI, falls lock stock & barrel for a fake medical condition

ChatGPT diagnosed 40 million people with a disease that was invented as a joke. Not a real disease. Not a misunderstood disease. A completely fictional condition with a fake name, fake papers, and fake statistics. And it told patients to see a specialist. The disease is called Bixonimania. A Swedish researcher at the University of Gothenburg invented it in 2024 to answer one question: what happens when you plant obviously fake medical information on the internet and watch AI absorb it? She deliberately chose the name bixonimania because it sounded ridiculous — bixon is a nonsense word, and mania is a psychiatric term that no legitimate eye condition would ever use. She uploaded two papers to a preprint server. Both were obviously fraudulent. AI-generated images of patients with dark circles gave the fake research a veneer of plausibility. Then she waited. She did not have to wait long. By April 13, 2024, Microsoft Bing's Copilot was declaring that bixonimania was an intriguing and relatively rare condition. On the same day, Google's Gemini was informing users that bixonimania was caused by excessive blue light exposure and advising them to visit an ophthalmologist. Later that month, Perplexity AI outlined its prevalence, one in 90,000 individuals were affected and OpenAI's ChatGPT was telling users whether their symptoms matched the fictional illness. One in 90,000. A precise statistic. For a disease that does not exist. Every red flag was visible. The name was absurd. The papers were crude. The condition made no scientific sense. None of the AI systems flagged any of it. They read the fake papers. They absorbed the fake statistics. They presented both to patients with clinical authority and zero hesitation. Then it got worse. Three researchers at the Maharishi Markandeshwar Institute of Medical Sciences and Research in India published a paper in Cureus, a peer-reviewed journal owned by Springer Nature, the parent publisher of Nature itself that cited the bixonimania preprints as legitimate sources. A real peer-reviewed paper. In a Springer Nature journal. Citing a fictional disease as established medical fact. Passing editorial review. Entering the permanent scientific record. It was only retracted after the hoax became public. Nature published a full investigation of the experiment. Alex Ruani, a health-misinformation researcher at University College London, called it a masterclass in how misinformation operates. Here is the scale of what this means. More than 40 million people turn to ChatGPT every day for health information, according to OpenAI's own analysis. ECRI, a US patient-safety nonprofit has named chatbot misuse the number-one health technology hazard of 2026. ECRI's report found that chatbots have suggested incorrect diagnoses, recommended unnecessary testing, promoted substandard medical supplies, and even invented nonexistent anatomy when responding to medical questions. Number one. Out of every health technology hazard that exists in 2026. An April 2026 study published in BMJ Open found that nearly half of the answers provided by leading AI chatbots to common health questions contain misleading or problematic information. Nearly half. Of all health answers. From the tools 40 million people use every day. Here is the line from the researcher that cuts through everything. The Bixonimania case is striking precisely because it was engineered to be so obviously fake. The real question it raises is: what is passing through the same systems that is not nearly so easy to spot? The experiment used a ridiculous name. Fraudulent papers. Visible red flags at every level. It was designed to be caught. It was not caught. The AI that told patients about Bixonimania is the same AI they asked about their chest pain, their medication, their child's symptoms, and their cancer screening schedule. 40 million people. Every day. And nobody is telling them that nearly half of what comes back may be wrong. Source: Osmanovic Thunström · University of Gothenburg · Nature · April 2026 · Link in the (comments)

@SaltyGoat17 I won’t be satisfied until all the members of the J 6 Coup Cover-up Committee are in prison

Who agrees?

Boring’s conveyor system for removing spoils may be a huge improvement over the previous tunneling systems, but it’s still a limiting factor, given the challenges in managing its length —up to 10 miles in the Music City Loop. The set up for boring the ‘CyberTunnel’ under the highway at gigaTexas involved a giant belt cassette for a tunnel only a few thousand feet long The solution I envision removes the spoils with specialized autonomous vehicles designed so that empty ones can pass over full ones within the tunnel by changing their shape Think of the vehicles as having the frontal profile of an inverted ‘U’, upper and lower cases for the 2 configurations, the latter able to pass within and under the former This system would scale nicely, eliminating the need to manage an ever lengthening conveyor and all the support structure for it within the tunnel. The spoil removal carts (SRCs) would run in continuous streams with full carts passing through empty ones, and more being added as the tunnel and SRC round trips lengthen

See how Prufrock continuously mines - pushing and building at the same time. The machines, from Las Vegas to Dubai, are remotely controlled from our Bastrop Operations Center. These advances help TBC deliver more miles each year in the battle against soul-destroying traffic.

@SamiulIsla47066 From lighting cancer sticks to powering the devices of the connected economy — Has any other port seen such reform? Since I only use the USB-C ports, I had to check — RoadRaven has 2 of these legacy ports — one in the center console, and one under the back seat release buttons

@liorsela Here’s more on the decision to discontinue Models S & X, from an interview with Franz and Lars. These models would require significant structural changes to maintain their industry leading safety performance on small overlap crash tests added by NCAP and IIHS

I don’t get that sense from the statements from Tesla and Franz, which emphasize that Models S & X became a labor of love. The final refresh may have been made with full knowledge the models would be discontinued, and intended to give these now classic cars the best send-off as Tesla shifted its focus and started to recommission the space of S & X lines at Fremont for Optimus

Unpopular opinion: Tesla’s decision to stop manufacturing the Model X and S wasn’t well thought out or long planned. Tesla lightly refreshed these models less than a year ago, adding a new Frost Blue color, quieter cabin, smoother ride, adaptive headlights, and a front camera. In my opinion, if Tesla knew these models would be discontinued, a refresh would not have been introduced.

Incredible value indeed! This is now effectively the “Standard” Cybertruck model (last year’s stripped down RWD version offered from April to September reduced to a footnote). Since when does a vehicle’s economy version go 0-60 in 4.1 seconds? My Model Y Performance is only 0.6 seconds to sixty quicker

I can confirm that Tesla has officially started assigning VINs to people who initially ordered the $59,990 Cybertruck Dual-Motor AWD, which means first deliveries should start in the coming weeks! • 325 mile range • 7,500 lb towing capacity • 0-60mph: 4.1s • Bed with motorized tonneau cover • Bed Outlets (2-120v, 1-240v) • 325kW max charging speed • Coil spring with adaptive damping • Durable textile interior • 18’’ Wheels with all-season tires • 10" ground clearance • Weight: 6,537 lbs • Same 18.5" front center display as trims Absolutely incredible value for all the people who ordered and locked in the $59,990 price.

The YASA YM360 axial flux motor is torn down on @live_munro by Paul Turnbull, who explains the motor’s phenomenal torque density —3X that of a typical radial flux motor like the one of comparable mass in BYD’s Tang EV In the pictured five piece disassembly, we see an assembled stator, a second stator with its cover plate removed, and the two rotors that cover both faces of the stator. The rotor houses a ring of steel “teeth”, each circumferentially wrapped by copper conductors Paul’s explanation for the YM360’s impressive torque-to-weight ratio is crystal clear: Observing that the steel has maximum magnetic flux density (per unit area), the motor’s geometry maximizes the area of the rotor-stator interface
