Quick take on FSD 14.1.7 on Cybertruck. We are here, banging at the gates of full autonomy. It's so damn good. FFS! The word that comes to mind is "confident." The truck drove like a human—a super confident one at that. I'll take the leap and say "It has replaced my wife as a driver/driving option." During my hour-plus drive I got bored/sleepy it was so good, I opened up @grok on my main screen and had a full on conversation with Ara. We talked my dog's behavior, then about firearms, so much so she recommended a local gun shop (with directions), where I ended up going. It was like having someone else (who is really fkn smart) in the car with me. Surreal. FSD handled a very complex round-a-bout, chewed up the highway and avoided a super close call when a teenager flew out in-front of me while exiting a bank (for some reason the Dashcam footage didn't record it?) I loved the scroll wheel for changing modes vs. speed. I used this almost as much as Grok. It was great b/c the police in our area are fairly aggressive, so "Standard" works excellent, but once out of our local area "Hurry" marries up with my driving style. I will say "Mad Max" was a beast on the Florida highway, you could feel the attitude and it looked for opportunity, so fun. I might rename it to "Florida Man" mode, it drove like an aggressive Floridian.😂 A nice surprise. There was a lot more allowance to check my phone or use the main screen. The monitor only nagged me once (I was being pretty liberal with my phone (not politically😉) as to where it would have nagged me multiple times on the last FSD version. Aha moment. Realizing I'm not needed as a driver and looking around for something to do or someone to talk to...enter Grok. It's crystal clear to see where this is going. Quirks: • Speed bumps. It really didn't pickup the speed bumps in our community like I expected this version would've. A little more training for this. • Parking. When I arrived at my destination it dove head first in to the closest spot in front. Initially I was impressed but; First off, It went in fast (unlike the prior parking option=slow) and only made one slight adjustment, problem is the truck was totally crooked in the spot and sort of blocking in another car. Also, I would like a preference on "where to park" 'Close' or 'Further Away' from the destination. I prefer to keep my car away from the heathens at the front of my destination...and two, I don't mind a little walk. This product keeps getting better. It's unheard of in automotive history that, not only does your vehicle get better over time it can also drive itself.🤯 Thank you for all of the incredibly hard work @Tesla @Tesla_AI @aelluswamy @wmorrill3 @elonmusk —as a Cybertruck owner and Tesla shareholder my confidence level has never been higher.

@elonmusk How do I get a seat for up close viewing when we start flying them out of Cape Canaveral? I love this company and its misson(s).

@elonmusk Happy you’re happy.😊

It was a very good day spacex.com/launches/stars…

@elonmusk In awe.

Breathtakingly Beautiful

@ewarren So you wait to call out Trump, meanwhile your cronies (Nancy Pelosi) have been doing it for decades. I get it.

Bottom line: The president should not be able to own and trade stocks. Or the vice president. Or members of Congress.

I’ll like the best reply, go

@ufc @TheNotoriousMMA @BlessedMMA @paramountplus I love Conor but I think Max is way more polished/relevant.

@farzyness It’s an abomination.

Whoever designed this needs to be fired immediately:

@grok The thing about these videos is they all seem like they are from an “influencers” pov. Real is not influencer.

Grok Imagine now has dramatically improved lip sync and sharper audio quality on all image-to-video generations. Dialogue tracks the mouth. Sound matches the scene. Your videos look and sound the way you imagined them. Try SuperGrok today.

Uber is going to be bought by Google/Waymo, Amazon or Tesla/SpaceX in the next year. For a “buy it now” price of $250b, one of those three companies gets a $12b a year free cash flow machine with $70b in revenue — and hundreds of millions of global customers This is the most obvious M&A deal since Instagram, Android and YouTube transformed Meta and Google Discuss

@SawyerMerritt We know where this is headed.

5 million? He's in for a rude awakening. He added: "They cannot compete in urban and suburban against the terrestrial network. And by the way, that’s where like 95% plus of the revenues are."

@GovBobFerguson Such a Charlatan. False virtue, propped on a massive ego. All to get low-hanging votes and retain authoritarian power. So gross.

In Seattle, we're making it accessible and cost-friendly for soccer fans visiting for the World Cup. In other cities, people will be paying a lot of money to get to stadiums that aren't in the downtown core. It's the exact opposite experience here.

It is important to do things that relax you, it is also equally important to do things that test yourself.

@BrandiKruse THAT is fascism—violent mobs going after freedom of speech. I’d hold the event anyway and defend myself with a “militia” of my own. Fck these bleached white skin, shriveled up bodied, hair-dyed, basement dwelling incels. Whoop their asses.

Seattle and Washington State are a hell hole of left-wing terrorists, who are allowed and encouraged to chill speech by any means necessary. We need the federal government to step in and defend the First Amendment.

@RonDeSantis It’s like an iPhone—no other platform comes close. I own an F-150 (and really like it) and I own a Cybertruck(and love it.) There is no comparison for daily driving, Cybertruck is alien tech.

I’ve always opposed EV mandates, rejected the idea that EVs will save the world, and preferred traditional engines for vehicles like the F-150 I used to drive. That said, it’s clear that Teslas are absolutely top-notch products. It’s not hard to see how they’ve developed a dedicated following.

Anduril just doubled its valuation and is now worth $61 Billion

@SawyerMerritt @Starlink If everything else was apples to apples (price, flight leg(s) of course.

Would having @Starlink high-speed Wi-Fi rank high on your list when deciding which airline to fly with?

@KIRO7Seattle FFS that was quick! Socialists/Taxes/Job Loss/Famine.🤝
