Tesla’s telemetry bug is making data validation hard. With billing to 3rd parties set to start Saturday, we’re blocked.Fx requires vehicle software rollout—can Tesla delay a few weeks?Otherwise, major 3rd-party apps may report wrong data. @elonmusk @teslaownersSV @wholemars

Longevity in action. Larry Lewis (shown here at 99!) lived to be 106, and ran 6 miles+ every morning, rain or shine, even at 104. Check out what he says & see his take on what allowed him to maintain such vigor for so long. Respect!

Being busy is a form of laziness. Focus on one thing at a time and you won’t be busy anymore.

@bschippers Love this! I'd like to hear how you balance family and business. You seem to do it so well.

I spend a lot of time thinking about safety and charging- Like a lot and I wanted to share some thoughts below. Safety Score... A few weeks ago, TezLab rolled out an early iteration of Safety Scores for Superchargers. When you plug in and navigate to our map, we ask you to submit a safety review. It takes about 20 seconds and is fully integrated into our charging experience. It’s simple and makes a huge difference for fellow road-trippers. For this initial version, the safety score consists of a simple star system built around 3 questions: -Felt Safe -Lighting at Night -Public / Busy Area Why Safety Scores Matter: 80% of EV drivers report that safety is one of their top concerns when charging in unfamiliar locations, especially at night. 1 in 4 EV owners has encountered a poorly lit or isolated Supercharger, causing them to feel unsafe while charging. According to a recent survey, 63% of solo travelers prefer Superchargers that are located in well-lit, busy areas, and 58% would like the option to know safety scores before planning a charging stop. From my own experience having driven over 190,000 miles across many years, and watching the Supercharger network grow, I’m well aware that not all chargers are created equal. Some chargers are well-lit, while others are hidden behind dilapidated malls and give off an apocalyptic vibe. Some travelers may be into that, while others prefer a clean, well-lit (trash cans please), high-foot-traffic environment, especially if traveling alone. Why Is This Important? We are obsessed with improving the charging experience for everyone who uses TezLab. It’s not just about our charging suggestions—great graphs with useful data while you charge—but also about what’s around you and, most recently, the safety score. We’re already seeing strong community engagement: Thousands of safety reviews have been submitted in just a few weeks. These reviews are helping build a better, safer charging experience for everyone. We’re going to add more layers to the safety scores (let us know what else we should ask) and ensure that when you’re planning your next road trip, you can select a charger where you feel safe and the vibe matches what you’re looking for. Much of the safety score data as it gets larger and larger is going to be automated and shared on X. In the meantime, we’re going to be sharing the data with our friends at @teslascope to help get the word out. Lastly, we recently met with Tesla, and they’ve asked us to share our aggregated safety data with them. We will, ensuring that this valuable insight benefits all drivers as we move forward. Next time you’re on a trip, consider adding a safety score to your next Supercharge—it’ll help all of us as we transition to EVs. @tesla_raj @teslaownersSV @Tesla @elonmusk @DirtyTesLa
