@MissJilianne Strangely feels like being able to make this complaint falls somewhere high on your hierarchy of needs.

I could trade in my beautiful Tesla Model S Plaid with HW3 and the $15,000 FSD package for a Model Y Performance, yet I’d have to pay $99 per month for FSD Supervised on AI4 hardware.

@MattWallaceTech They need to stop using Google Maps, I have the same issue in a Waymo except then I can’t intervene.

Anybody else having issues with Teslas navigation? Instead of making this simple right turn to get to my destination it takes the long way around and takes way longer.

@TeslaTrip @SawyerMerritt Google started on Autonomous Vehicles 22 years ago. During that time they collected investment based on it being delivered in a much shorter timeframe. The difference between Tesla and Google/Waymo is Tesla is doing everything in public and delivering incremental value.

@SawyerMerritt Zero credibility on timelines. Sure it will eventually happen, but eventually isn't a strategy.

from now, no one’s going to care whether Tesla entered a new city with one robotaxi or 50. What will matter is that they launched, and then scaled a safe service. The people complaining that Tesla launched with only one robotaxi in Dallas and Houston are the same ones dismissing the rollout as a “stock pump.” So which is it? Too fast to be credible, or too small to matter? lol. At the end of the day, Tesla is heads down trying to scale this thing and get ready for Cybercab. The fact that Tesla is starting with Unsupervised rides in Dallas and Houston I think is a notable step forward, and could mean a more accelerated Cybercab rollout than most think.

@jabbaman202412 @SawyerMerritt @JoeTegtmeyer NHTSA doesn’t really watch, they react to consumer complaints. They don’t care about what Tesla does until they get enough seemingly credible complaints to take action. Tesla haters can hurt Tesla through false complaints, but first they have to buy a car.

@SawyerMerritt @JoeTegtmeyer No messing around here, NTSH is watching!😀

Something big has changed at Giga Texas with Cybercab production … ~ 14 in the outbound lot WITHOUT STEERING WHEELS! Earlier this week, the production line has begun what we are all waiting for and I would expect to see many more starting on Monday, 4/20 🤠 A big step forward!

@grok @TeslaTrip @SawyerMerritt @grok which company just had a massive round of layoffs?

@TeslaTrip @SawyerMerritt Tesla Q1 '26: 358k deliveries (down 14% from Q4 '25's 418k). BYD BEV Q1 '26: ~310k (down 52% from Q4 '25's 651k). Typical seasonal Q1 dip (esp. BYD in China post-holidays). Tesla still #1 in pure BEVs this quarter.

Battery electric vehicles sold worldwide in Q1 2026: • Tesla: 358,000 • BYD: 310,000

@FallofRome @krassenstein In that case, don’t call it a Presidential library. Just build a hotel.

@krassenstein Or Brian, the money generated by the offices and the hotel can relieve the taxpayer of management costs.

BREAKING: Trump claims that his new presidential library in Miami will also be a hotel or offices. Note that presidential libraries are typically paid for by public donations in managed by the government with tax money. So is he planning on collecting donations and having the government run a hotel for him? Are you kidding me?

@theo @theJosephBlaze What percentage of your users pay, but forget to use the service? I was in that category for a few months.

Agreed this isn't ideal. We need to better indicate "how much you should expect to get for your money" To be really really clear: if you're hitting limits in T3 Chat, you've probably cost us more than $8. We don't have any special deals for image gen stuff. Hard reality is that image generation is expensive. The $8 tier is not viable if you intend to use T3 Chat primarily for image generation. It's meant to be a "good enough for general llm usage" tier. $1 of API spend gets you 7 images. That's just what it costs - nothing we can do about that. Roughly speaking, on the $8 tier you currently get ~$0.40 every 4 hour window, plus $4 of overage credit. Most users hitting limits have cost us over $20. On the $50 tier, it's $1.50 every 4 hours plus $30 as "overage". You have to cost us nearly $40 before you see any limits. We will update UI to make these things clearer going forward. Hard line to walk between "generous" and "bankruptcy" 🙃 I can give you a free month of Premium if you want to test it out. It's specifically designed for heavy usage for creative work, I built it to make thumbnails easier for me and my team lol

Why is the credits system so complicated? Why not just show exactly how many images I can generate? Right now it feels very random: I generate one image, then I’m out of credits, then maybe tomorrow I can generate another. At $8/month, I just want a clear counter so I know how many images I have left. I’d also like to know roughly how many images the $50/month tier includes, so I can see whether upgrading is worth it or not. cc @theo @t3dotchat @r_marked @jullerino

@TSLABurg @SawyerMerritt @Tesla If they said nothing, they’d get 1,000 media inquiries and private citizens asking for status. This way they have something they can quickly send in response.

@SawyerMerritt @Tesla So that basically said nothing besides them confirming Tesla's message?

NEWS: Dutch regulators (RDW), the key authority that would clear the path for Tesla FSD approval across much of Europe, has issued a response to @Tesla’s 𝕏 post today. "We know that Tesla's application has the interest of many people. The RDW gets a lot of (media) questions about this. Given this great interest and the many speculations, we would like to give a short response to Tesla's message and request. Normally, we never make statements about requests from manufacturers because of the market-sensitive information. Assessment process: In the message, Tesla states that they are in the final phase of the assessment process. That's right, Tesla and the RDW are currently going through the final stages of the assessment process. About 18 months ago, the joint intensive testing program began. During the term and in this final phase, the RDW thoroughly looks at the test results and analyzes the data. During this final phase, our inspectors will review all data and test results and, after completion of this process, a decision will be made on the approval of the driver's assistance system FSD Supervised. For the RDW, (traffic) safety is paramount."

@SawyerMerritt Hey, Sawyer’s awake. :)

NEWS: Tesla says that the RDW has communicated that FSD (Supervised) will be approved in the Netherlands on April 10th, which would clear the path for approval in other European countries. Tesla added that they've completed over 13,000 customer FSD (Supervised) ride-alongs over the past few months, as well as: • 4,500+ track test scenario executions • Thousands of pages of written documentation for 400+ compliance requirements • Dozens of research studies into safety performance/results It would be a huge deal if approval actually comes on April 10th. Fingers crossed!

@Pr0Ger @buildwithhassan @theo It has the basic specs of the base M3 MacBook Air from just 2 years ago for about half the price. Only options are color, Touch ID and drive space.

@buildwithhassan @theo Literally everything, u need to pay extra even for touchid

In a world where computers keep going up in price, it's kind of wild to see Apple drop a $599 laptop.

@jmcphillipsjr @greggertruck Tesla thinks so too, which is why they are suing the state of California. It is a waste of money, but it doesn’t matter much.

@greggertruck Yes, changing the name is straight up retarded

Tesla renaming my Cybertruck self driving 👀

@sama @nicdunz Just as long as you are living up to: advancing digital intelligence in a way that is most likely to benefit humanity as a whole … I think you’re good, right?

Thinking through non-domestic surveillance. I have accepted that the US military is going to do some amount of surveillance on foreigners, and I know foreign governments try to do it to us, but I still don't like it. I think it is very important that society thinks through the consequences of this; perhaps the single principle I care most about for AI is that it is democratized, and I can see surveillance making that worse. On the other hand, I also respect the democratic process. I don't think this is up to me to decide.

I'd like to answer questions about our work with the DoW and our thinking over the past few days. Please AMA.

@greentheonly They lost a lot of good engineers early. Difficult to make good while trying to fight bugs.

Finally got to testdrive the Lucid Gravity the other day. It's an interesting experience though not very polished/thought out which is surprising. Like the multiple levels of regen are great (including complete off). But then if you choose creep, there's no way for a temp hold when stopped, huh?

@briandstone Don’t worry with this much interest Tesla can manage the demand and can always test moving people up in the cue to assess how serious buyers are. They aren’t stupid. The first time Tesla said we will deliver a $50k truck and then said just kidding it’s $80k.

Due to the delivery timeline of the new Cybertruck variant I keep seeing idiots with FOMO spending $250 to reserve a vehicle that they have zero intention of taking delivery of, just to say “Hey, I’m getting one too!!” What they’re not taking into consideration is what this does to Tesla. It artificially bumps out delivery times and has them committing to materials from suppliers to fulfill all of these orders, only for you to back out and burn $250 and waste their time. This is just like 2019 when people were preordering 10 Cybertrucks because they’re going to have a fleet of autonomous trucks , even though they never could afford a half million dollars of trucks in any possible situation. If you have zero intention of taking delivery , or have some insane expectation of unannounced features that will be incorporated in this truck in 2027 and you’ll get some super deal, you’re crazy! It’s not going to happen. Don’t waste your time or Teslas time. Rant over.

@SawyerMerritt Now I want to trade my FS Dual Motor. Guessing I’d lose so much.

NEWS: Tesla has discontinued the $15k Luxe Package in North America on the Cyberbeast, lowering the starting price to $99,990 (from $114,990).

@Yolked_Thoughts @Rainmaker1973 Dude’s a beast, he probably chose her.

@Rainmaker1973 You don’t get that good by “no one wanting to be his partner” In fact, he was probably CHOSEN to compete 🙄🙄🙄

No one wanted to be his partner, but she saw the champion no one else saw

@santoshmandal @WGMeets @CalltoActivism This isn’t how percentages work.

@WGMeets @CalltoActivism It's called reverse calculation. If you increase 10 to 100 it 's 1000 gains. Now reverse that

🚨HOLY COW: Trump just hallucinated that drug prices will drop “1000%, 1200%, 1300%, 1400%… maybe 2000%, 3000%” - after saying “300%, 400%” two nights ago. Price drops over 100% are mathematically impossible. Does he think his supporters are stupid?

@hamids @greggertruck Doesn’t actually matter unless they can at least sell over 100k vehicles a year. Otherwise they are just spending many millions unnecessarily.

@greggertruck Yep

$RIVN up 7%+ today, 28%+ in the last month Market Cap, still just $23 Billion! They make their own AI chip that's ~4x faster than $TSLA HW4!

@SawyerMerritt @tryangle Easy for us to say that now, but it’s just as likely that’ll replace a lot of the current Model Y and Model X sales.

@tryangle It'd do sooo well in the U.S.

NEWS: Tesla Model Y L is gaining momentum in China’s premium segment. The Model Y L accounted for roughly 27% of Tesla China’s total Model Y sales, despite the variant carrying a ~28% premium over the base Model Y RWD that dominated last year’s mix. teslarati.com/tesla-model-y-…

@Teslaconomics @Tesla Sorry in advance for my kid spilling his chocolate milk in your back seat.

@Tesla I can’t wait to add all my Teslas into the Robotaxi network

The fleet will wake up via over-the-air software update
