@wintonARK @elonmusk It’s not bizarre at at all. Tesla is a 50k car, not cheap and people buy electric cars to save on gas not spend more on things like fsd. Tesla will have to include fsd in the price of the car. That would make the car cheaper and far better than any competitor

It really is bizarre.
Most of my friends don't have FSD (or a Tesla).
And it is the single biggest lifestyle difference between us.
They drive their cars.
My car drives me.
They don't get how much--even at its current capability-level--the product changes life-feel.
FSD truly is a mass luxury product. That it is still so narrowly enjoyed is mind-bending.

@Viralfizz If it was US the road would have been blocked to traffic for hours!

This scene, in particular, stays with me because it holds so much within it friendship, family, sacrifice, love, and a quiet sense of longing. As an actor, you search for moments that feel true… and here, I found myself drawing from my own experiences of each of these emotions. Maybe that’s why it stays with me the way it does. Some scenes don’t end when the camera cuts they live on with you. This is one I’ll carry, always.

@GuntherEagleman Everything’s good but why would you wear a cap like this doing a thing like this and it does not move an inch!! How? And why??
English

@IndiaExplained Everything can end up as a uniquely Indian thing because there are more Indians than anyone who end up in more unique situations than anyone with more wives and husbands than anyone asking for more things more times than anyone…

@Teslaconomics Ok so even a model 3 can do that for you. Your tweet does not justify why you are praising the cybertruck

This is a KING COBRA...so confident that he's unafraid of Mike aka @therealtarzann Seriously tho, Mike could've said all this at a safer distance, don'tcha think? Love how he said, I'm gonna let him chill 🤣
Like and Repost if the u jumped when the snake did! 😅🤣🐍

@pbeisel Tesla is stuck because of the term FSD. Now they cannot escape till it’s actually FSD. 99% won’t cut it. But what if they change the name to SD. And work on the paying attention part and try to bring it to zero. That would satisfy a lot of customers. Just change the expectation.

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.

@DBurkland @pbeisel It’s in testing right now. Wide release in a few weeks.

@Amockx2022 It is his opinion. Is he an expert on anything? No he is a social media star with his opinions.

Japanese actor Hiroyuki Sanada spoke about the contradictions of human nature:
“Some people dream of having a swimming pool at home, while those who have one hardly ever use it. Those who have lost a loved one feel a profound sense of loss, while others often complain about their living relatives. Those without a partner long for one, while those who have one often don't appreciate it. The hungry would give anything for a meal, while the satiated complain about the taste of their food. Those without a car dream of owning one, while those who have a car are always looking for a better one.”
The key to happiness is gratitude: truly seeing and appreciating what we already have, and understanding that somewhere, someone would give anything for what we take for granted.

@__Poisonivyyy Ok so that’s her claim. Anybody have a doctors report? Obviously she went through hell but being sliced 17 times? Holding one’s head. You gotta make sense.

@SawyerMerritt Problem with autopilot is if you engage the steering or use turn signal, it disengages and due to regenerative breaking the car begins to stop and you immediately get into sort of panic mode and not everyone is equipped to handle that situation well.

UPDATE: Elon Musk says the driver of this Cybertruck disengaged Autopilot four seconds before crashing, which means the driver was manually driving during this entire clip that Fox shared.
Elon: "As anyone knows who uses it, that video is not how Autopilot drives."

@RichKettle07 As per stats the only one who comes close or could be better was McGrath. His numbers are phenomenal.

@YearOfTheKraken Yeh sab kehne ke liye film dekhne ki Kya zaroorat thi. Kisi apne Muslim bhai se info le kar yahi sab bol deti. Faltu main pehle 500 rs dhurandhar 1 ko diye aur ab 500 aur dhurandhar 2 ko de ayi aunty.

@mythicbxrn Yup he is fooling masses just like Modi did for decades now right? Seems like the masses like to be fooled. Make peace with it!
