@livesmore @RaoulGMI What

@RaoulGMI wait till its pouring rain- fsd unusable- unfortunately- tesla owner as well - otherwise great in nice weather

Tesla FSD is nothing short of magic. Just rented a Cybertruck, picked it up at the airport and it drove us directly to the Airbnb. None of the stress of a new city, new roads, new car. Had it for 5 days and never drove myself. It drove perfectly. So easy and liberating

@mikepat711 @Tesla_AI A percentage of the media also see what we see because they own them and still lie.

Seeing what the media writes about FSD vs what I experience daily with FSD is by far the greatest reality narrative asymmetry I’ve ever experienced directly. Keep grinding hard, @Tesla_AI. The truth always reveals itself eventually.

@pbeisel Great words

Elon says FSD 14.3 is coming. But if you’ve been following along, it was also “two weeks away” a few months ago. That’s drawn a lot of criticism, understandably. Let’s step back and talk about what’s actually going on: engineering reality. I’ve spent years running engineering teams at Apple and Rivian, and what you’re seeing here is not unusual. Not even a little. I’m not here to defend Elon or say communication couldn’t be better. It could. But what’s happening behind the scenes is far more ordinary than people think. First, understand what kind of company Tesla is. Tesla exposes more of its internal process than most companies— you’re watching how the sausage is made, often in real time. Compare that to Apple. Products appear at a moment in time, fully formed. What you don’t see are the features that slipped, were cut, or quietly postponed to make the deadline. Most companies communicate through layers of marketing at discrete events (e.g., NVIDIA GTC). That may include a CEO keynote—but it’s still tightly controlled. Tesla, largely via Elon, doesn’t. And that creates friction. Most people are used to being in the dining room. With Tesla, you’re watching the sausage get made whether you like it or not. If that makes you uncomfortable, this model will drive you crazy no matter how it’s explained. Now, about FSD 14.3— the so-called “reasoning” release. My view: when Elon originally referenced it, it was real. It was on a roadmap with a timeline. But then reality hit. Somewhere along the way, engineering discussions likely exposed a fork: ship what’s partially there, or go deeper and "do it right". That kind of shift happens constantly. Plans change. Timelines slip. This is normal engineering behavior, not dysfunction. The difference is: you’re seeing it. At companies like Apple, those decisions are invisible. Deadlines are protected by cutting scope. At Tesla, you’re watching the scope evolve in real time. On the technical side, 14.1 and 14.2 were already producing “reasoning tokens,” as Ashok (Tesla AI VP) noted. But producing tokens isn’t the same as using them effectively. 14.3 appears to be where those tokens actually start driving behavior, more human-like decision-making in edge cases. My guess is this is where things got more complicated. The work likely started to overlap with what xAI is doing. At that point, the question becomes: do you ship an interim solution, or integrate a more capable reasoning layer? That’s not a small decision. And it likely has downstream impact— potentially even on Robotaxi timelines— because these same reasoning challenges show up there too. So the team probably made a call: go deeper, even if it costs time. And here’s the part people underestimate: great engineering teams often convince themselves the extra work is worth it… and that it won’t take that much longer. They’re usually wrong on the timeline. But often right on the outcome. At this stage, FSD isn’t about raw safety (it seems to have nailed that)— it’s about behavior. Making decisions feel natural, human, predictable in edge cases. That’s a much harder problem. So if you’re following Tesla closely, the best thing you can do is understand the process and accept the messiness that comes with it. If you want tightly controlled messaging and polished delivery, companies like Apple exist for that. Tesla is something else entirely. Fire away.

@LamarMK Half decade away if all goes perfect

Rivian is coming with their R2 Robotaxis partnered with Uber. It's an exciting time for the future of autonomy.

@macfarlanemoney What version are they looking at😆

It keeps getting worse... NHTSA just escalated its probe into $TSLA to an Engineering Analysis. The final step before a potential mandated recall. The focus: The "degradation detection system" meant to warn drivers when cameras are blinded by fog or glare. Scope: ~3.2M vehicles (Model S, 3, X, Y, & Cybertruck) Crashes: 9 incidents identified, including 1 fatality. If a safety defect is confirmed, an OTA recall is likely.

@CuriosityonX A typical blue collar worker

If aliens visit us, who should be in charge of speaking on behalf of humanity?

@ZevCyber @AndyZeGerman Is your exceptions set to perfect?

@bob161610 @AndyZeGerman You understand that outliers are a problem when you have millions of vehicles? It just shows we aren't there yet. Why Elon says Cybercab production will be slow initially, as they need a test fleet of these to train and gather data with in a geofenced area. Not unlike waymo.

One thing is now clearer to me. It actually goes up the slope and it is really at a late point that you see the layout of the intersection. That is all I am saying.

@NinosMaron Cash pump scheme

Rivian should focus on a 45k profitable car that people want to buy instead

@ZevCyber @AndyZeGerman First off It’s an outlier.

No idea, but we can't have a good FSD system and have situations like this going hand and hand. If it was accidentally canceled, the system needs to be difficult to accidentally cancel. If it was canceled on purpose, the system needs to be good enough to not have to cancel on purpose. We are in the in between era, where Tesla fans try to blame drivers for using the world changing system that is so incredibly great and then they run into trouble so it is their fault. To be honest, this hasn't changed since 10.69 whatever OG beta was.

@ZevCyber @AndyZeGerman Why did the driver not really react in 4 seconds? That’s a lot of distance and time?

@bob161610 @AndyZeGerman The longer video is available elsewhere. FSD 13 was engaged prior to T-4 seconds. I have used FSD extensively since OG beta on HW3. I have used FSD14 on CT.

@Exodus15_11 You obviously have never tried it😆

Imagine being an evangelist for technocracy. What a delusion.

@TechOperator @Exodus15_11 😆

@ZevCyber @AndyZeGerman Well the entire 4 second video is of the human in control. Ever used FSD or just armchairing it?

@AndyZeGerman Yes, shows the pitfall with a vision only system. I don't think generalized FSD is possible vision only. Need memory/accurate maps.

@esjesjesj On her phone? Doing makeup? Anything…

Why would she turn off autopilot just to immediately crash into a wall.

@amazing_physics He says a lot of stuff but never backs it😆

Dr. Steven Greer says he has prepared a speech for President Trump to announce the existence of aliens visiting our world for a millennium.

@thebetterless @micheal_ws18 Then who pays?😆😆😆😆

@micheal_ws18 Basic healthcare Clean water Education Public information The essentials shouldn’t be a privilege.

What should be free but isn’t?

@NickTaber 😆

“Medication is just one tool in the toolbox.” The toolbox also contains: More medication. Different medication. Medication for the side effects of the first medication.

@Br_McC13 @dead_baseball Plus no one knows the actual speed.

@dead_baseball To be fair that’s not a speed limit sign.

Conveniently cut off the part where FSD was going 60 in a 15 mph zone...

@Chansoo @herbertong Yup.

🚨 Uber plans up to $1.25B investment in Rivian The partnership aims to deploy up to 50,000 R2 robotaxis, accelerating the push toward Level 4 autonomy. Backed by Rivian’s data flywheel, RAP1 inference platform (800 TOPS), and a multi-modal perception stack, Uber is building a foundation to scale autonomy quickly over the next few years. $UBER

@Megalithic12000 So you cannot tell us the method but can tell us it is the hardest?

Modern builders use uniform blocks because it's simpler. Whoever built this chose the hardest possible method and executed it flawlessly. Did they choose complexity because for them, it wasn't complex at all?
