Everything I post here is me pointing out something to my friends and family. I’m not trying to grow my account or attract followers, but appreciate those who do. I value my real life so don’t expect me to always be online. Be kind.

The short answer is that I can't imagine getting along without FSD. I still have the ability to drive, but using FSD is an order of magnitude better (especially for people as old as I am). I intervene mostly with parking decisions. The software isn't nearly as smart in choosing the best visible parking slot as it is driving from point A to point B on a road system. In that scenario, the only deficiency I've found is in dealing with minimally signed detours (to be fair, I've sometimes had a hard time figuring them out too). I also had to intervene on ordinary roads to get over to the exit lane in time to take the right exit--once, out of hundreds of exits. Otherwise, I've rarely intervened--and then almost always to discover that I shouldn't have intervened because the software knew more than I did about what to do. Buy one.

Tesla FSD saved us from a potential bad crash tonight. Worth every penny. FSD already avoided the crash before I could have reacted. Our 2024 Model 3, running FSD 14.3.2. Milliseconds matter. Thank you @elonmusk @Tesla & @Tesla_AI Watch video in landscape.

@CarlSparre @niccruzpatane With that much solar on the roof I would gladly trade most of the batteries for more fresh water. Our reality of RV boondocking with solar is that coach batteries just fill the gap until sunrise. Drinking and washing are higher priorities long term.

@niccruzpatane Just build luxury trailers. On moving day summon an autonomous semi using the robotaxi app. An 800kWh battery is 20x overkill for a small parked residence. The truck end needs to do work daily to generate a return.

Tesla could do the coolest thing one day. Semi RV with Self-Driving, Starlink, etc.

In Tesla Dog Mode, air conditioning will stay on while the car is locked, keeping your pets safe and comfortable! Thank you @Tesla

There’s a recurring phenomenon that’s become almost predictable. Every time Elon and his companies lay out what they’re planning to build, a wave of people — including plenty of experts — rush to declare that it won’t actually happen. We’ve watched this exact cycle play out again and again. Reusable orbital rockets. Electric vehicles moving from niche to mainstream. Global satellite internet. Each time it was called unrealistic, overhyped, or impossible. And each time, what started as a bold vision turned into working reality through relentless iteration. Now the same voices are saying it about humanoid robots and true autonomy. “It won’t happen,” they insist. Haha, the experts have spoken again. At this point, after seeing the pattern repeat so many times, the real question is simple: Who has actually shown more expertise in making these kinds of ambitious goals come true — Elon and his team, or the people predicting failure from the sidelines?

@MyTeslaMoonship It’s more noticeable on long trips where we see older Teslas at each subsequent supercharger collecting more bugs than we hit on the same road.

@UniqueCatSound I hadn't noticed a reduction in bugs but that is quite a perk!

I’ve said it before and it still remains true - one of my favorite upgrades from Luna (‘22 MYLR) to Ganymede (‘26 MYP) is the oscillating AC. 🥰 So cozy!

@MyTeslaMoonship It’s like the grown up version of an Easter egg hunt where cool and practical gifts are waiting to be discovered all over the car. A pleasant surprise for me was how the new curve of the hood reduces bugs on the windshield compared to my old Tesla.

@UniqueCatSound There were a LOT of little upgrades!

His deinfluence tactics backfired - now I want another Tesla: 😬

SPACEX: Today, the FCC's Wireless Telecommunications Bureau and Space Bureau approved EchoStar’s sale of approximately 65 megahertz of spectrum to SpaceX for Starlink’s next-gen direct-to-device (D2D) offering. SpaceX acquires roughly 15 MHz unpaired nationwide AWS-3, 40 MHz nationwide AWS-4, and 10 MHz nationwide H-Block spectrum. The deal allows SpaceX flexible use of the spectrum for D2D service to smartphones and IoT devices from low-Earth orbit satellites, plus other offerings, under tech-neutral innovation waivers. The transactions include stringent buildout conditions and support America’s leadership in next-gen connectivity.

This made me go 😳! I needed to turn left, there is a utility truck in the oncoming lane, and a vehicle that needs around the truck. FSD let the other vehicle by first with no hesitation! 🥳

@LewisWithrow5 I think Optimus would be much more useful on the other side of the counter. I’ve seen plenty of company executives send a worker out for special coffee/food orders without a second thought. I want my personal “gofer” Optimus.

Recently I went to a fast food restaurant where there were two kiosks each with a short line and no-one at the counter. I stood at the counter as was ignored (the crew was very busy). After waiting a short while I asked in a clear voice "May I order the old fashioned way, please? "A woman in the back answered firmly "kiosk, kiosk". I don't want to learn your crappy kiosk interface. I prefer ordering by voice. Then it dawned on me.

🚀 Episode 29 just dropped! I’m beyond excited to share my deep-dive conversation with @CernBasher — Chartered Financial Analyst and CIO of Brilliant Advice. We explore how Tesla’s Cybercab is far more than a vehicle… it’s a potential “money machine” for individual owners! From building compounding fleets that generate serious passive income, to real-world economics on utilization, costs, and Tesla’s take rate — his spreadsheet models are next-level. We also unpack his unique view of Bitcoin as digital security technology for the coming AI-agent era, the massive lifestyle shifts ahead (goodbye idle cars and school-run marathons!), Optimus, and why Tesla’s vision goes way beyond just making cars. Mind-blowing stuff! 🔥 📹 Full video attached — press play and enjoy! YouTube link coming in the first reply. Ready to send your own Cybercab to pick up the kids (and have it pay for itself)? Drop your thoughts below 👇

@BLKMDL3 We use this on the bumper and side mirrors after each wash so the bugs wipe off much easier next time. It’s about $20 from Amazon and lasts us over a year.

2800 miles of bugs be gone

While doing my🇳🇱@Tesla FSD Supervised test drive with @pvandamcom, we encountered this situation where the road was too narrow to even move to the side to let the other car pass. FSD then decided to back up of a while until there was enough room for the car to pass. Amazing! 😍 #FSDEurope @teslaeurope @TeslaOwnersNL @TeslaClubAT @elonmusk @wholemars @SawyerMerritt @Tslachan @KRoelandschap

Starlink has delivered free, life-saving internet when humanity needed it most: - Ukraine (2022 to ongoing) - US: Hurricane Ian in Florida (2022) - US: Maui wildfires (2023) - US: Hurricanes Helene & Milton (2024) - US: Texas Hill Country floods (2025) - Tonga (2022 volcano + tsunami) - Jamaica & Bahamas (Hurricane Melissa 2025) - Indonesia & Sri Lanka floods (2025) - Iran (2026 protests & blackouts) - Venezuela (2025–2026 crisis) - Philippines, Japan, Spain, Portugal, Vanuatu, Ecuador… and counting….. Everyone counts the death toll, but no one bothers to count how many lives are saved by getting help at the exact moment it’s needed most Legacy media loves to say Elon Musk “isn’t philanthropic enough” because he doesn’t write enough giant checks to NGOs Writing a check for a press release is easy... Deploying a infrastructure for free to keep people connected when their entire world collapses is actual impact As Elon said, if you care about the reality of doing good instead of the perception of it, giving away money effectively is hard. Building companies that solve civilization-scale problems is the ultimate philanthropy Real philanthropy is not measured in dollars donated. It’s measured in problems solved when it matters most
