@RyanJTorres @WeatherTechRcwy Eons ago I went there for the motorcycle races. Pretty much hung out at the Corkscrew the whole weekend. During the sidecar race one came in hot, way hot. The bike launched off the top lip and went airborne crashing into hay bails. Both riders walked away.

@Guntalk @SheriffJim4445 Went to Starbucks once just to troll. Ordered a medium roast, black. Barista looked at like I was insane. Did finish it but it was some of the nastiest tasting coffee I’ve ever had.

I agree with @SheriffJim4445 You should be able to order coffee in three words or less. 😉.

@BammerinFL @truthandtesla Take a hard look at the Model Y. Between the frunk, sub trunk, and cargo area it can haul a lot of stuff.

I am 62 and I have owned the following vehicles in my life: 1963 Volvo 122S 1962 karma ghia by Volkswagen 1975 toyota corolla 1963 Chevy station wagon 1986 Honda accord LXi 1992 Honda Accord LXi 1995 Eddie Bauer Ford Explorer 2000 Eddie Bauer Ford explorer 1999 econoline Ford V8 stretch van 2008 Chevy suburban 2008 Audi A6 station wagon 2011 convertible mini cooper 2016 Ford f150 2018 240i convertible m series bmw 2006 Honda Accord 2008 Ford F350 Latiet diesel 2023 Tesla model 3 performance 2024 Tesla cyber truck foundation series 2026 Tesla Rwd model Y Ask me anything. I am an entrepreneurial female who has owned many businesses and have raised three lovely young men. I have owned, as you can see, my share of cars throughout the years. I am dumbfounded how anyone can buy anything but a Tesla after all I have lived and what I know. Feelings about Elon aside, which I do not fathom either, Teslas by 100x are the most amazing vehicles especially for the price of anything I have ever owned. Everytime I get in the cybertruck, I re live my awe all over again, from the tight turns it takes, how low I can lower it while loading, how it powers my cabin when power goes out, I could go on and on and on - about all the features I love about it besides the basic Tesla features. It is the most amazing vehicle ever produced. I am shocked that anyone can ever buy an ice vehicle if they really researched and knew what they were choosing. Safety, lack of driving fatigue you don’t even realize you have until you don’t have it anymore, quiet, peaceful ride experience, charging clean in my garage for $1 a night, lack of maintenance concern ever, service (I have found to be so pleasant), buying experience (literally takes 5 mins), ease of having others drive with key share, there are just so many things…… it’s remarkable to me when my Tesla is driving down the road by itself, and I look around at that 99.9% of those around me all driving themselves-how dangerous they are compared to me. No shade on them but the fact is, they are a huge liability on the road and I am not. Every accident I have seen in the past three years is an accident that would not have happened in a Tesla world. And I have seen a lot - even fatal ones. It’s so sad to me how the entire global public is being gaslit about teslas - it’s clearly a designed slowdown of adoption - because adoption that would happen if the truth was revealed, would be catastrophic to the old paradigm, the old supply chain, the unions, the car dealerships, the gas stations as they sit a top tanks they would have to be pulled out of the ground (expensive), the insurance and medical industry that makes so much money off the accidents. The list goes on and on about the disruption it would cause if the truth really got out. So the powers that be, lie, to slow down the adoption they know is inevitable, to give themselves time to pivot out of the already obsolete. I am a 62 year old female who has seen and lived a lot in my life - this current state of affairs regarding the wool being pulled over the eyes of the masses, regarding the utter superiority of Tesla- is the most profound phenomenon I have ever lived. It’s truly uncanny.

Watched a bunch of coverage of Artemis II with my son the last couple weeks, so I decided to watch Apollo 13 for the first time in years on the 26th anniversary of its launch yesterday. I forgot how good this movie was.

@mrtimer2022 For me a V3 or V4 seems to deliver at the same rate. Those V2 are like filling up your ICE vehicle with an eye dropper. To answer your question the closest V4 is 45 miles away.

I don’t usually supercharge… but when I do, I prefer v4 speed! Pure rocket fuel! 🚀 Do you have v4 near you?

@mrtimer2022 @ChatCharge No we didn’t. Honestly I was overwhelmed to actually meet the people from social media that I’ve been following. First timer thing. Where I live there are only 88 BEVs in my parish as of 03/2026. So being able to actually talk to Tesla owners is a rare opportunity.

We made it to Laguna Seca!! For my first time here, I already hit a 140.597 on the wet track. Hopefully the track dries out so I can keep improving.

@TesLatino Missed the Mercury missions as I was too young. Watched the Gemini and Apollo missions. When we set foot on the moon it was a pivotal moment. And we did it with slide rules and minimal technology. Trust me when I say that that there are Boomers who are wiping away a tear.

I can't believe that there are 4 astronauts about to splash down from the most impactful space flight in over 5 decades and NASA only has 1.7 million people watching their feed. Maybe they needed a cleaner window to keep the views looking nice and crispy.

@JoshWest247 @Hilbe 19” Continental Pro Contact came with my 24 MY. New they have 9/32 of tread and right at 25,000 miles they’re at 7/32. Granted I’m a mellow driver and don’t mash the juice pedal often but I might be able to get 50,000 miles out of them.

@ALScyborg @wholemars @boringcompany If the Boring Co decides on New Orleans it’s going to be a serious engineering challenge. The city is built basically in a swamp. We have to bury our dead above ground as the water table is so high that the coffins will float out.

🚇🔥 Episode 24 of Future Link is LIVE! Picture this: You’re stuck in gridlock again, horns blaring… and then one company says “Send us your wildest one-mile tunnel idea — and we’ll build the winner for FREE!” That’s exactly what @boringcompany did with their Tunnel Vision Challenge — and I break it ALL down in this episode. As the third human on Earth with a Neuralink brain implant 🧠, I dive deep into the three winning proposals (Dallas, New Orleans & more), the genius business connections it created, and why this contest is rewiring how we think about cities, traffic, and the future. The full video is playing right here 👇 YouTube link dropping in my first reply — hit subscribe! What would YOU build a one-mile tunnel for? Freight pods? Pedestrian paradise? Something totally wild? Drop your ideas in the comments — I read every single one! 👇 @boringcompany
