@DevinOlsenn @JustThink65 @wholemars My honest speculation is that they had to kick it out the door for stakeholder appeasement. It wouldnt be the first time a company has done so with a beta product.

@JustThink65 @wholemars I think they’ll be fine since so few people will use it.
Not trying to take a shot at Rivian - but they haven’t sold that many gen 2 vehicles and what’s going to be the adoption rate for this $70 a month Adas? It has to be low.

Rivian Universal Hands-Free vs Tesla Self-Driving
This was my first time testing Rivian's new Universal Hands-Free, and I was honestly surprised by how it performed. I understand this is their first attempt and it will only improve from here, but truthfully, it is worse than any version of FSD or Autopilot I have ever used. I respect Rivian as a company, but I always try to remain unbiased in my opinions, so here are my unfiltered thoughts on where UHF stands today. Hoping to test it more as the system receives major updates!
Hope you all enjoy the video.

Feeling it at the pump? A couple of tips here for you.
English
I don't disagree. I think this was compelled by having to report to shareholders that they had something (when it wasn't ready). But this is the consequence of getting something out too early without calling it 'beta.' People have strong expectations of something claiming to be 'finished.' :\
English
@XFDModular They’ll improve over time, but contrary to some people’s opinions, it will take years and years just to get where Tesla is today, even if Tesla stopped advancing.

During the 2022 surge (Russia-Ukraine invasion, Feb-Jun peak):
- Crude oil: WTI +~60% to $114 avg (peak $130), Brent to $139
- Natural gas: Europe TTF +180% initially, US Henry Hub +~100% to $8.78 peak
- Coal: +130% early
- Wheat: +60-100% (Ukraine/Russia supply hit)
- Fertilizers: +100%+
- Nickel/palladium/aluminum: +50-200% (Russia exports)
- Diesel/gasoil: +36-41%
Broader ag (corn, soy, veg oils) +20-140%. Energy led, but food/metals tied to supply shocks followed. Data from EIA/World Bank.

I'll give you an example. Whey Protein Power.
Lasts for several years on the shelf, a great essential food source, and surely to be impacted pretty immediately by fuel prices (as will all dairy related products) once stock runs out.
English
Many EV owners think they are smart and won't be impacted by a fuel crisis. Nope, you'll be just as screwed as everyone else. The entire country runs on diesel.
You'll be able to drive to the shops with a smug smile, but the shelves will be just as empty.

Now that natural gas has just hit the fan, should Australia halt our gas supplies leaving Australia?
This can be done under the ADGSM.

@KellyAyotte I'm calling on New Hampshire to leave ISO-NE, build a lot of nuclear, and let them play with their stupid windmills on their own. Then refuse to sell energy to any state which blocks a gas pipeline into New Hampshire.

Electric bills are too high.
I’m calling on ISO New England to make immediate reforms to save nearly $1 billion and help lower electric prices.

@TechOperator @RealJamesWoods I over report. IT doesnt like it when I report their emails as phishing attempts. They get more irate when I tell them, “stop writing emails that look like phishing attempts.”
English
@RealJamesWoods Assuming every email is phishing is the only way not to get phished.
English
Unfortunately I did click the link, but when it asked for my X password, I didn’t give it. That’s when I knew there might be a phishing attempt involved. Pretty authentic looking email though. Better than most.

@RealJamesWoods Hey James, if this was an email, please don’t click the link. It’s a phishing scam.

@elonmusk Grok 4.20 fast seems to be “retarded” compared to prior versions. Losing or forgetting piece of the conversation, totally screwing up dates (it thinks today is a Tuesday when its a Wednesday, despite having the correct date), and generally comes off as more foggy minded.
English
What are your initial impressions of Grok 4.20?
Major upgrades are still landing every week.
Testlabor@testerlabor
Grok 4.20 is now officially out of Beta. It's now on Auto, Fast, Expert & Heavy.

@wholyv @KendallLaFolle1 Nah, its all about identifying common blocks. You get used to seeing this and stop getting overwhelmed.

you know what? I will just stick to software.

@TechOperator @Michael_L_Rauch Joking aside, the largest oddity about this (to me) is the terrible quality of the video. Tesla cameras, even HW3, are better than what looks like early 2000s webcam video
English
@Michael_L_Rauch Fake news. Everyone knows the Cybertruck would have destroyed the bridge if this were real. 😉
English
Not saying this is accurate or not, but most of the comments sound more like sports fans or religious faithful that are cheering that it is or overly defensive that it’s not possible. How about we actually get a full investigation & the facts before making a judgement? 🤷♂️

'TERRIFYING': Dashcam video shows the moment a Tesla Cybertruck, allegedly operating in self-driving mode, nearly sent a Houston mom and her infant off a bridge before violently crashing into an overpass barrier. The woman claims she suffered multiple injuries from the incident and is now suing the automaker for $1 million.

Five years ago today, I excitedly took delivery of my first Tesla, a moment I’ll never forget.
I told my family and friends with genuine enthusiasm that, for me, the ICE age was truly over.
While some may still find reasons to drive gas-powered vehicles, thankfully, none apply to me.
