FSD just handled a stopped Amazon truck perfectly at highway speed! 🚀 Cruising over 50 mph on FSD when an Amazon delivery van pulls over and the driver hops out right in front. 📦 FSD starts decelerating confidently and fluidly—no abrupt moves. The driver waves me around, and the car picks it up instantly: detects the gesture, gets the “go around” intent, and navigates past safely. Zero jerk, zero drama, just clean and confident execution the whole time. 😎👌 This real-world awareness is next-level—the AI read the human signal and handled it like a pro. Anyone else had FSD pull off something impressive lately? Share your stories! 👇 #Tesla #FSD #FullSelfDriving

Whatever the mainstream media wants you to believe about Elon, this is the truth: he's changing people's lives for the better. “When you haven’t heard someone talk for four years, the thought that they might be able to talk again was mind-blowing."

I was on @wholemars space this afternoon while my Model 3 drove me for a couple of hours to drop off my taxes. And found myself quite emotional listening to others' stories about theirs. I'll never sell it. It is the best thing I've ever spent money on beyond marriage and bringing children into the world. During the show it passed 159,000 miles. It is the 7,409th one Tesla made. Stood in line overnight 10 years ago to put down $1,000 before it was even announced. (I have a video over on Facebook of the first 100 people in line that I treasure today. Behind us were more than 1,000 in the Danville store). I really feel sorry for anyone who buys something else. I've driven many others since and they simply aren't even close to as good. Even the Chinese ones. They don't automatically drive nearly as well. My eight year old car is still way better than any other that's out today. Except a new Tesla. I studied automotive innovation most of my career because of my perch in Silicon Valley. When I was a kid the auto industry had its R&D centers somewhere else. Detroit. Stuttgart. Tokyo. Today they all have their R&D centers here in Silicon Valley because this is where the talent is that can build the future. Had the first ride in the Fiat 500. First ride in the BMW i3. First ride in the first Mercedes AI car. First ride in the first Tesla. Because two of my high school friends were killed in wrecks. My last book written with @IrenaCronin has a whole chapter about Robotaxis (written seven years ago). Uber was invented right in front of me in a Paris snowstorm. Did one of the first interviews with Lyft's founder. A week ago had a ride in the NVIDIA Mercedes at GTC. I have the first video of a Waymo EVER driving around a Silicon Valley freeway (it's up on YouTube). I had a front row seat on how Tesla outclassed the whole industry and brought software driven automobiles to the market. No one had done so before. Today my eight year old car is WAY better than when I bought it (I picked it up April 4, 2018). If I'm alive in 10 years we'll see maybe 100 million Optimus robots walking around everywhere and many vehicles that Franz @woodhaus2 and team haven't even dreamed up yet. All driving autonomously. And finally the death rate will start going down because of plans made more than a decade ago. There is a reason why I'm an Elon fan and it goes way beyond him giving me a ride in the first one before he gave his best friend a ride. It builds products the others can't match. Even a decade later. Even after Elon showed them. Even after they tore apart his cars to analyze how they were built. Even after I drove mine to Detroit to give people in traditional auto industry their first look back in 2018. And next comes Optimus, a new Roadster, a new semi, a new car without a steering wheel, a new transportation system, new tunnels to go faster across cities like Las Vegas, and more that I can't even dream up yet and I've been a futurist for a long time. It is so awesome finally seeing many "normal" people get what I've been saying for years and seeing the numbers of Tesla's on Silicon Valley's streets go up and up. So many over the years have given me shit about owning a Tesla. Or supporting Elon. Or being one of the first to take my hands off of the steering wheel and sharing that here on X. They all were wrong. Tesla is the world leader in all of transportation, even if you include all the Chinese new brands, which are making cars with more screens and better seats. Soon everyone will understand that transportation isn't about having a leather dashboard or seats, but about having better AI. And Tesla's is the best. And I'm talking about the AI running in my eight year old car. The AI that runs in today's Teslas is even better than that. And, yes, I know that lots of engineers claim theirs is better. But they won't give me one of theirs to drive around for a few weeks. There is a reason for that. Theirs isn't as safe. Isn't as smooth. Isn't as capable. And by the end of the year everyone will recognize that.

@elonmusk I pray this isn’t a April fools joke 😂

FSD 14.3 is in Tesla employee beta now and will probably go to wide release end of week

Tesla vehicles have the lowest rollover risks in their respective classes. The Model Y had the lowest rollover risk ever recorded for an SUV when tested by NHTSA in 2021 (7.9%). The Cybertruck has the lowest recorded rollover risk among all pickups tested by NHTSA (12.4%).

Tesla Semi just won over the toughest crowd in transportation: actual truckers. Drivers who tested the pilot models say it's a game changer. The cab puts you dead center so there's no right-side blind spot, plus screens show everything around the truck. It goes 500 miles on a charge while competitors barely hit 225. Charges to 60% in 30 minutes, which is 4x faster than other electric trucks. Costs under $300k, about $100k cheaper than rival EVs. California trucking companies just ordered over 1,000 Semis. That's double the number of electric big rigs currently operating in all of Southern California. The automatic transmission is easier on drivers' bodies compared to wrestling a 13-gear diesel all day. Less maintenance too since there are fewer moving parts. Tesla is expected to ship 5,000 to 15,000 Semis this year from the Nevada Gigafactory before ramping to 50,000 annually. @elonmusk might've actually cracked the trucking code. Source: WSJ

NEWS: Google is rolling out AI-powered EV trip planning and battery predictions in Google Maps to over 350 car models with Android Auto. The update recommends when and where to charge based on your vehicle and battery level, showing estimated battery at arrival and adjusting ETAs with charging time, something that Tesla already does, but this Google Maps update will reduce the need for multiple apps in non-Tesla EVs. Google: "To deliver accurate battery predictions for hundreds of vehicles, we combine AI with advanced energy models that analyze car details — like weight and battery size — alongside Maps’ real-time information about traffic, road elevation and weather. This will allow us to bring intelligent trip-planning features to most U.S. EVs soon."

@Teslarati Strange how everyone has different experiences mine has been amazing the last bugs update seems to have made serious improvements to parking too brought me to the door parking lane at the store yesterday and parked right up by the front. Usually it takes me to the back.

I’m just going to say it and I know I’ll get some hate for it, but v14.2.2.5 is the worst FSD release since v14. Constantly in the wrong lane, a lot of weird maneuvers, so many additional nav errors, routing, speed control, parking, and that’s just to name a few. v14.3 cannot come soon enough.

@elonmusk @wholemars 🚀🌖

Stand By Me

@nypost They really didn’t need to include the part about Elon musk they could have just said to protect her and that’s it but needed the clicks smh sad

Deranged mom knifes 14-year-old daughter to death, claims it was to 'protect' her from Elon Musk trib.al/80c3PUL

The zoomed-in section is cute

Two riders experiencing @Tesla FSD Unsupervised yesterday in Austin for the first time. "Woowwww, that's awesome. Look at this thing man! Inches out and then goes. Crazy; Allows this car to park, it stops, gives it room for it to park. Nice."

🚨 Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang just dropped a BOMB on Tesla’s autonomy 🔥 “Tesla’s stack is the most advanced autonomous vehicle stack in the world… I’m fairly certain they were already using end-to-end AI.” The guy powering the entire AI world just called Tesla #1. This isn’t hype. It’s straight validation. Robotaxi era is coming FAST 🚀🤖 #FSD #Tesla #Autonomy #AI #Nvidia

Stainless Steel Starship

Tesla is making a big investment in Japan with service & Superchargers. Many of the parts in Teslas are made in Japan. Panasonic has been our biggest strategic supplier over the past 2 decades.

Back to work See you at Tesla Diner tomorrow

Tesla Semi's total cost of ownership destroys diesel economics The numbers are wild: • Electricity: $0.15-0.25/mile • Diesel: ~$0.75 - 0.80+/mile • Electricity costs 60-80% less than diesel per mile • Near-zero maintenance (no diesel aftertreatment, fewer moving parts) • Remote diagnostics = maximized uptime • OTA updates = continuous improvements • Operators will spend less time at service centers and more time on the road Fleet operators achieve positive ROI before their standard diesel replacement cycle

FSD scared the crap out of me and my wife. We were headed out of town and my wife was taking zoom calls in the backseat and I was relaxing letting FSD do all of the work. We were following behind a cement truck and as we went through the intersection, the cement truck ran the light at the last minute, as soon as FSD was able to see the light it turned red and FSD slammed on the brakes. My wife’s laptop went sliding across the car, but we got stopped, and then FSD backed us up behind the line.
