@kuiperzone @LundukeJournal Using UK is better, as it refers to the entire country, while Britain leaves out NI. I am an Australian/UK dual national and it would be like saying I was born in Mainline Australia, which leaves out Tasmania

@LundukeJournal I was born in England, a part of Britain. One day, we woke up to find ourselves in the YouKay. I don't know where this is.

The United Kingdom has demanded that 4chan pay a £520,000 fine for failure to comply with UK age verification laws. However, since 4chan is based in the USA, the UK has no jurisdiction to fine Americans in America. “As has been explained to your agency, ad nauseam, the United Kingdom lost the American Revolutionary War. We are not in the mood to discuss the matter further, and have not been in the mood for 250 years.” The letter to the UK’s Ofcom ended by suggesting that “maybe, you could just stop sending Americans stupid letters and acknowledge the sovereignty of the United States.” 4chan’s attorney, @prestonjbyrne also included a picture of a giant hamster dressed as Godzilla.

@ray4tesla Before they waved you through, the person was standing in a stance of someone who was about to walk onto the road. FSD just recognises them as a pedestrian

Not sure why FSD 14.2.2.5 came to a complete stop in this construction zone—possibly reacting to the mobile flashing yellow light? That said, it did recognize and respond appropriately to the construction worker’s hand signal to proceed.

@havetorunalot @SawyerMerritt Where FSD is not deployed, the entire system is non functional and only emergency braking assistance is activated as per current regulations

@SawyerMerritt Shouldn’t the NHTSA be demanding low visibility warning systems in cases where FSD is NOT deployed, since FSD in its current v14.x appears to handle adverse conditions extremely well?

NEWS: The NHTSA has announced that its has upgraded the probe into Tesla's FSD (Supervised) in low-visibility conditions to what’s known as an “engineering analysis.” It’s a step that is often required before the agency tells a company to issue a OTA recall, but does not automatically mean that the NHTSA will issue a OTA recall. The NHTSA said its engineering analysis follows an earlier preliminary review and broadens the probe to about 3.2 million ​Tesla vehicles across multiple models equipped with the system, covering most vehicles on U.S. roads.

@teslayoda @Tslachan @elonmusk Throughout most of the world, including Korean and Europe, FSD can still be bought and transferred indefinitely. Here's the link in my country (Italy) tesla.com/it_it/support/…

@Tslachan @elonmusk You can only subscribe.

$TSLA If the V14 lite version is released, I'm willing to buy FSD right away. The HW3 owner has been waiting for a long time. Can it be released in the first half of this year? I'm curious about the approximate timeline. @elonmusk

@UnVerse1X Full self driving capability has been available for purchase throughout the EU for many years. I paid €10,000 for it in Italy in 2022

The test rides are all full but I can already see the option to buy it in the Netherlands.

@Rustavi Agreed. Tesla should update this page urgently. Any HW2 /2.5 owner could start a lawsuit claiming Tesla must provide the latest version as per this page

@TimEppy Thanks for clarifying. But shouldn’t Tesla clear about this on their page. Not everyone is an expert.

🚨 Quick note for NL/EU Tesla owners 🇳🇱🇪🇺 Tesla’s AI Computer page (tesla.com/nl_nl/support/…) confirms; If you bought FSD outright and have AI Computer 2.0/2.5, you’re eligible for a free upgrade to the latest hardware AI4 when FSD rolls out. Not for FSD subscribers (yet). Some early cars may also get free camera swaps. With FSD Supervised potentially coming soon to NL, check your car’s hardware in the app. It could matter fast. 🤞 #Tesla #FSD #TeslaEurope #AIComputer

@tpgoebel This became available in Europe 6 months ago and I have been using it every day as I have a 3rd party charger with no button release

Ooh this is good. Another way of releasing a stuck charging cable on a Tesla has been added.

@AlanMullett @nymbusjp RDW is a Netherlands specific authority. EU wide approval of FSD would be a separate process entirely, requiring a majority vote of all EU countries. However, if RDW approves, each EU country could choose to approve separately without testing required

@nymbusjp Well, RDW are used to traditional manufacturers who will take the vehicles away, spend months on the changes requested and then schedule delivery of the new vehicles sometime in the future. A "give us a moment... and, it's done!" response just doesn't compute.

The EU bureaucracy is just trying to justify its existence.

@GrintonTim @MundaneGrind @elonmusk @SawyerMerritt @wholemars @DriveTeslaca When I took delivery of my Tesla, it was literally the first time in my life that I sat in an EV. I didn't have a clue how the screen or anything else worked. No skill to check anything

@MundaneGrind @elonmusk @SawyerMerritt @wholemars @DriveTeslaca Why would you accept the vehicle without an inspection first?

Tesla has delivered me a damaged car in the form of a new 2026 Model Y premium.. this is unacceptable ! Worst experience I could ask for. I would really appreciate if someone can help me reach this message to Elon and team @elonmusk @SawyerMerritt @wholemars @DriveTeslaca @TeslaBoomerMama

@Rustavi @FinTesla RDW has already clarified that the approval level is as good as an experienced human driver, and not an impossible and inhuman 100% error free rate for any criterion

@FinTesla I suspect that they demand a system 100% error free even if it’s supervised. Which’s stupid.

🚨 Possible bad news for #FSD in the Netherlands. Rumors are circulating that the possible RDW approval date has shifted from March 20 to April 10. Sources (incl. someone who spoke to a Tesla NL manager) say tests are going very well and RDW is satisfied overall, but they provided Tesla with a list of improvement points, and gave until April 10 to address them. Others heard directly from RDW that March 20 isn’t feasible. Important; This is NOT official yet. Let’s wait and see what happens on March 20 first. But we should prepare for the possibility of a few more weeks delay. Also, FSD ride-alongs in other countries have been extended to April 30, likely connected to this timeline. Fingers crossed for good news soon. 🤞🇳🇱🇪🇺🧿 #Tesla #FSD #TeslaEurope #RDW

@E0_DS0_Omega @wholemars Please read the post carefully. Autopilot *does not exist* for that model Cybertruck. It must have been either manual steering with just cruise control on, or FSD.

@wholemars attorney statement in the screenshot says autopilot was engaged. so which is it

The media is running a story today about how a Cybertruck “allegedly” crashed on a Texas highway. Spoiler alert, the crash happened while the human driver was in control. The law firm, which is seeking $1 million, says that last summer Justine Saint Amour was driving her Cybertruck with Autopilot engaged. There’s just one problem — Autopilot is a legacy lane keeping system that never shipped on Cybertruck. The driver then admits that before the crash they disengaged the system and started driving manually. Indeed, the video shows the truck starting to turn before the driver disengaged and drove into the wall. Tesla hasn’t officially responded to the lawsuit yet, but available telemetry indicates the driver probably wasn’t paying attention, got startled, and crashed. There doesn’t seem to be any attempt to steer back towards the on-ramp in the video, rather you see the trajectory change from turning with the ramp to driving straight into it. When you crash your car, people tend to put blame on anyone but themselves. A high profile company like Tesla, with a CEO who is the wealthiest man on Earth? Yeah, they kinds of BS lawsuits happen often. Let’s wait for more data and discovery to take place, but based on the evidence i’m seeing so far that doesn’t look like something FSD — even an older V13 — would do.

@Cyber_Trailer @yunta_tsai @the_hoph He works for Tesla in FSD/Cybercab development

@yunta_tsai @the_hoph How do you know that the vehicle was driving unsupervised?

Our teams hate driving. So whenever there's a new vehicle bring-up, we work extra hard until it can take us home and back—not for demo, but for our sanity.

@teslayoda 1. Requirement for vertical integration. All the current supplier/partner solutions wouldn't be compatible. 2. Requirement for 15.5v/48v car systems means clean sheet for everything

Why isn't there at least one auto company, US or China, who's interested in licensing FSD?

@DuusLukas @TSLA_inside_ RDW is a vehicle technical homologation authority. They are not a tech business

@TSLA_inside_ With all the stuff happening in the tech world right now.. NVIDIA with Alpamayo, XPENG with VLA 2.0, VW also teaming up with XPENG on the AI part, they can’t keep closing their eyes for the future.. I hope they think about that when they make their decision

Dear Tesla fans, 3 days to go. Who thinks the RDW approval will come this Friday? $TSLA

@PinballReed @IowaTesla @Tesla Respectfully, getting damaged while parking at the airport is a 1 in 10,000 risk. For me it's not worth the battery wear and electricity cost as well as huge range loss keeping sentry mode on

@IowaTesla @Tesla Sorry. My wife’s car got backed into at the airport by a pickup truck which did a lot of damage. Had I turned off sentry mode we would not have gotten the license plate of the truck and we would have paid $1k to get it repaired and our insurance premium would have increased.

When your car is going to sit at the airport for a week, just enable @Tesla’s Low Power Mode and walk away. Your car will use basically zero power while it sits.

@youbecha64 @DJSnM @NBCUniversal As stated in the post all Government/NASA footage is public domain and can be used by anyone for any purpose freely

@DJSnM @NBCUniversal Screw NBC...but did they pay NASA/Gov for rights to rebroadcast?

Sigh... once again @NBCUniversal is too lazy to actually check that they own the copyright to footage before claiming it. This is straight from the STS 119 fly around, shot by NASA Astronauts using NASA equipment and soundly in the public domain. The documentary is a good watch but I'm having to switch out this footage because the publisher isn't doing a basic level of verification of ownership.

@AboutTesla To clarify, 2026.8 only gives comfort braking to less than 1% of cars that it is installed on - only Model Y Junipers

A new mainstream version 2026.8 started rolling out globally, mostly to HW3 vehicles initially but some HW4 vehicles are included too. It comes with a new feature: Comfort Braking.

@TMC_FSD @DavidMoss Absolutely certain. Several people who have used Robotaxi and left items in the trunk have reported the screen showing that they should remove their items. Also, huge security requirement to avoid Robotaxi being used as terrorist device (think about it)

@DavidMoss Are we sure that’s a camera?

Blurry terrible pic but closer up of Tesla Cybercab Camera inside trunk!

@piloly Bravo!! 😍 I paid €10,000 for FSD in Italy in 2022 and have kept my car with the intention of actually trying FSD when it is finally released soon, without pressure to transfer to a new car now

Good news for me. There is an important change regarding FSD transfers in Europe (in my case, Italy). It's no longer necessary to take delivery by the end of this quarter or by any other specific date.
