@ThemePark_Nerdo The fire was right at the area of the breaks. I expect that a bit of fluid of some sort came in contact with the hot surface.

I’ve never seen the LIMs overheat and begin smoking on BTM before, this is news to me.

@LCASTUDIOS_JAWS Only the finest reporting here.

@Quisp211 @DKEsquire The small area of fire appeared to be right on the surface of the brakes. It was bigger than just some paper. I expect a bit of oil or other liquid came in contact with the hot break surface.

@ScottSpillers @DKEsquire Pneumatic brakes, maybe paper ignited that fell down there.

A little mishap this afternoon during Big Thunder Mountain's first day of operation after the long refurb. #BigThunder #MagicKingdom #WaltDisneyWorld

Viewer sent video of a small fire coming from below the track in the load/unload area of Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Magic Kingdom. Cause of the fire unknown.

@LuckyDaniLV She did a great job!

@ScottSpillers Putting that PASS training to use! Cool as a cucumber.

@DKEsquire Looks like they have reopened. Glad there was no serious damage.

@DKEsquire The Customer Service team members didn't initially think it was too serious. It was likely some oil or a small hydraulic fluid leak that can be quickly repaired and cleaned up.

@Coreyc001cole This incident happened around 5:45pm after it had reopened again.

@ScottSpillers I was in line at 2 pm when we got evacuation off the ride.

@BiggieAtx They did, it just took a bit of time. Waited about 90 minutes and we would have been on the next train. At least everyone is safe and we have a story to tell.

@ScottSpillers they didnt evacuate the queue for a fire ?

@hhn_scott It did add a bit of excitement.

@ScottSpillers Just a little fog effect for extra fun.

@radiohouston Cast members were on it pretty quickly. The lead in this photo did great with the fire extinguisher. Some of the guests were briefly frightened but order was maintained and the cue was evacuated pretty quickly.

First of all, glad everyone is safe and cast members reacted quickly and safely!!! There appears to have been a small fire on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad today in the Right Side station. The ride reopened today after a lengthy refurbishment.

@Jules31415 All 20 here. I don't know if I should be proud or depressed that I work too much.

13 for me. What about you?

@tesla_na When will current owners (not only new purchasers) be able to buy Tesla insurance in Florida?

Tesla Insurance update With the latest version of Safety Score (v3.0), every mile you drive with FSD Supervised enabled will receive a score of 100. This allows you to maintain a higher average safety score over time, resulting in lower monthly insurance premiums. Applies to new policies in Indiana, Tennessee, Texas, Arizona, Virginia & Illinois

@brxAgain @RonDeSantis The Trop is what you would get if the old Seattle Kingdome sunk on one end. Nothing says baseball like a ball hit off a catwalk...

@RonDeSantis Why do you think the Trop is so bad? It's what Florida needs - nice and cool, protected from Thunderstorms, and seats plenty while the population keeps growing..

No way. When you walk up and see the Green Monster it is a unique experience. Not everything needs to be a modern luxury. There is a charm to the place especially given all the history there.

@iamjesserichard @aelluswamy Actually Smart Summon (ASS) should use the same smarts as FSD/RoboTaxi, albeit in a super-sloth mode. It is definitely not doing this now. ASS still makes some dumb mistakes and has to be very carefully supervised.

Did a little bullying at the end of my second ride. Watch how fast it switches direction. Wish Actual Smart Summon was this good! Soon @aelluswamy ?

Another unsupervised Tesla Robotaxi added to the fleet! Up to 3 different ones now running. 5118

You can just post a picture of your Teslas on 𝕏, and other people will reply with pictures of their Teslas.

The problem is that Tesla has treated FSD as both a vehicle option and as a software license. It was never clear which way it was headed. For example when a used Tesla with FSD is sold at a dealer ship it is often stripped of FSD and this is now always the case when buying used from Tesla. This greatly cuts into the resale the value. When Tesla started selling monthly subscriptions it was made clear that FSD was a software license and not part of the vehicle. Just like you don't need to buy new software when you replace a PC, you shouldn't have to repurchase FSD when you replace a vehicle.

Popular opinion: since FSD is not yet at the level it was promised when people were buying HW3 Teslas, they should be able to transfer it to their new Tesla.

The solution would have been to sell FSD as a software license and not a vehicle option. Once Tesla started allowing FSD transfers, I had hopes that they would go this route. Unfortunately, they did not. I've spent $23K on FSD since 2021 (2 vehicles). I had planned to purchase a CT but can't justify the cost if I have to pay for FSD again. @Tesla @elonmusk

Disappointing, and glad they’re offering order fee refunds for people that thought they could transfer FSD. But honestly based on how many people are complaining, FSD ownership does need to be sunsetted rather than kept around for years to come. People expect to be able to buy FSD once in 2016 and move it to a new car in 2026 that they will use well into the 2030s. I would love to do that as a customer, but it’s not a good business model for Tesla if they have to invest billions in training compute, engineering, validation, testing, legal liability, etc. This $60k variant is already selling at little to no margin. The only shot Tesla has at eventually making money on these units is FSD.
