First in depth review of FSD v15 on Robotaxi. This video highlights key moments, uncut video in comments. After hearing @aelluswamy mention Robotaxi was running FSD v15, I immediately went on a ride! There are definitely parts of the drive that behave different than the current customer version of FSD. At the very beginning of the drive, the Robotaxi encounters a stationary car which was waiting to supercharge. The wheel is twitching to go around the car. I believe this is to slowly inch to the left to gain more context and visibility to proceed, rather than diving straight in as 14.3.x would have. Ensuring the road is clear prevents the need to reverse in the event of a car coming from the opposite side. Exactly what I would have done. The acceleration and braking behavior of the model are much better than v14. It is MUCH better at predicting the following distance from the car in front. I experienced no brake stabs at all. The turn signal behavior is exactly where I would like it. Not too early, but not too late as to alarm the driver behind of a last minute turn. Unlike 14.3.x, it gets into the lane that it needs to much earlier in order to avoid messing up the flow of traffic later. In the middle of the drive, I noticed we were slowing down in the middle of the road. Not abruptly, but a calm deceleration. Turns out it was waiting for 2 ducks to pass! Great job on that. The ducks didn't get startled because the car saw them earlier on and reacted accordingly. Instantly as the duck gets on the curb, it continues. No hesitation. It also avoids a pothole that Robotaxi and my personal car always used to hit. It drives by people on the sidewalk without jitteriness or sudden movements. v14.3.x sometimes gives too much space between the car and pedestrian causing it to cross in the adjacent lane. At a red light, the lane that the Robotaxi was in had more cars in front of it, so it turned from a speed of 0 to get into the shorter lane. This smart behavior allowed it to make the green light as the cars it passed got stuck when the light turned red. FSD performs U-turns flawlessly without slowing down or extensive checking for clearance. Lane changes don't seem sudden as they do in v14.3.x. The initial turn of the wheel is smooth. The gold path on the Robotaxi's screen smoothly changes lanes, making the car perform a smoother transition. Overall, the whole ride was executed EXACTLY as I would have done it. For this ride, I give it a 10/10. There was no point where I was confused in why Robotaxi made the decision it did. The model is more confident, assertive and humanlike. I did not get to observe yellow light behavior or school zones in this ride, but I am sure the car handles them well. All of the little things this ride exhibited make the car blend in really well in Houston traffic during rush hour. Outstanding job on @robotaxi Self-Driving v15 @Tesla_AI, @aelluswamy, and @elonmusk 👏 This video highlights the best parts. Complete raw video is in the comments.

@RandyWKirk1 I believe most of these were credibly debunked as the driver wasn’t supervising as directed or was on the accelerator etc. but being cautious is fine it’s a great product and I’m happy to support and drive supervising it. It’s only a matter of more miles.

@muskonomy Good for Elon HE GETS IT.

NEWS: Elon Musk rejects the far right label in an exchange with The Economist "I support the normal people. What you call the far right, falsely." He challenged the interviewer to say what is extreme about 3 positions. "Here are the principles and tell me which of these sound terrible. That we should have secure borders, that we should have safe cities, that we should have sensible spending. Which of those three are far right fringe?" Elon then turned on the framing itself. "I would like to just admonish you and the media for the absurd characterization of the far right. It is false and misleading and nonsense." He asked that the exchange survive the edit. "Please keep this part in." Elon said the same speeches get judged by who delivered them, describing a habit of reading Obama and Clinton speeches to people and telling them Trump said it. He named Rupert Lowe as an example of who he means by normal people. (Source: The Economist, July 2026)

@theallinpod This is why sponsorship that was done in the past worked and should be reinstated .

Friedberg’s Ideal Immigration Test: Worker or Welfare? (Or Makers vs Takers) “I'm all about discerning immigration, not on the lines of some cultural definition, but really around that simple framing of are you going to get social support services or are you going to work? Going back to my makers vs takers point, if the primary motivation for an individual to come to this country is to be given benefits, to be given payments, to be given social services, to be given support, I think that that person should be denied immigration. If the primary motivation for the individual to come to the United States is to work to progress themselves, to become a maker, to create things, to work in such a way that they can generate income, save capital, buy things, advance their family's position because they are denied those rights due to the tyranny of the place that they're coming from, then they should be granted immigration status to come to this country and contribute. Because at the end of the day, what people may not like to hear, which is the truth, is that every single one of those people is actually net positive in growing our economy. And everyone thinks it's a zero-sum game with respect to jobs in the United States, and we shouldn't let people into this country that create jobs. But the fundamental truth is that anyone that is productive, meaning they create more value than they take in, grows the economy and more jobs get created, and overall, we all benefit from having those individuals here in this country. And by the way, if you are going to work, you are going to culturally assimilate, because that is what the United States is based on, which is productivity, work hard, create things, and have individual agency, have the ability to progress yourself in this world, in this society. And if you take advantage of that opportunity, you're going to love the American ideals that this country was founded upon.”

@ARKInvest @CathieDWood Dear Ark the cost of energy will never let them charge.25 / mile in CA !!!

You may have heard our research on Tesla Robotaxis... @CathieDWood just rode one through Austin. No driver. No safety monitor. Ride along with Cathie as she shares her thoughts from the passenger seat, including a newly discovered line item for our model.

@JoeTegtmeyer @Tesla What about using StarLink universally and by pass the boarders ? @Tesla

Driving a @Tesla in Europe is fun and works well (will be even better with FSD) … BUT, there is one very common and annoying issue that really needs to be addressed. Crossing country borders, especially for those who live close to the borders is extremely annoying because connectivity is often lost and can only be regained quickly by doing a two-button reset on the move. This is really a big issue because you also lose navigation while the connection is lost and happens so frequently this is becoming the unofficial standard practice. I’ve heard from many European @Tesla owners that they really wish there was a better solution and it would make ownership and driving a much better experience. Hopefully @teslaeurope and @Tesla can figure out and offer some kind of software update to eliminate this frequent customer complaint issue!

Great review of the Flachau Tesla Takeover Joe !

@TeslaClubAT We Loved coming to Flachau Tesla Takeover from California. Thomas & Tamara really enjoyed it. Well done ! We had an amazing E bike ride Sunday 41 Km

Post-Takeover emptiness hits different. Yesterday: the most amazing community feeling we could have ever dreamed about 🫶🏼 Today: the drive home and way too many memories. 💔💭 Tag someone who was there. We need to talk about it.

@teslaownersSV Flachau was amazing and worth the trip! Tesla Europe is alive and well. We had an amazing E bike trip up the valley today ! we rode 26 miles or 41 KM on E bikes !

🚀 What an incredible Tesla Takeover moment! Here with leaders from 15+ clubs across Europe – a true powerhouse of passion, innovation, and community driving the future forward. From the energy in the room to the shared vision for Tesla and sustainable energy, I’m blown away. A massive thank you to the entire European Tesla community for your warmth, dedication, and unstoppable enthusiasm. You’ve made this trip unforgettable and shown once again why Tesla’s global movement is so special. Grateful to stand shoulder to shoulder with all of you. Let’s keep accelerating! ⚡

@teslaownersSV @JoeTegtmeyer @teslaeurope It’s great to see the Tesla community getting together around the World ! Österreich ,Flachau is beautiful.

Thank you @teslaeurope for supporting the Tesla Takeover Europe

@Gfilche @Tesla I hit critical thinking that that might get them to look at it. I prefer to hit the microphone and tell them as an option.

Love @tesla FSD but this new pop up everytime I disengage is super distracting and I never end up clicking the right option, so I feel like the data is worthless. I like the idea of user feedback but so far this one is a net negative to the experience

@teslaownersSV @elonmusk The cybertruck SUV would be awesome! Love my beast !

Hey @elonmusk a bigger Tesla is much needed for bigger families.
