@brandenflasch @SawyerMerritt Not a call out - just curious

@doakills @SawyerMerritt Not even close

Tesla now has four V4 Supercharging stations open across the U.S. capable of delivering up to 500 kW charging speeds. • Kissimmee, Florida (opened this week) • Gatlinburg, Tennessee (opened last week) • Taylorsville, Utah (opened Jan 2026) • Redwood City, California (opened Sept 2025) As of this week, Tesla's Giga New York factory will now only produce these new V4 cabinets, which means 500kW Tesla Supercharging stations are going to start popping up everywhere pretty soon. Note: 500KW charging is currently only available on the Cybertruck. S3XY vehicles get 250kW charge rates they already experience on existing Superchargers.

@brandenflasch @SawyerMerritt Is this Nashville site reported as Gatlinburg? Supercharger.info shows it open today?

@SawyerMerritt Gatlinburg is not V4. V3.5.

@BLKMDL3 It's up there for me, love it man

This green is perfection

@OutofSpecDetail Just needs that black headliner!

Model 3 Performance has the best interior hands down (hand in my case) for the money. Such a nice place to be.

@SawyerMerritt Gonna be so damn sick 😦

The new Pad 2 at Starbase looks awesome. Can't wait for the 33 Raptor V3 engine static fire!

Getting closer to Starship launch! 🚀

Initial Super Heavy V3 and Starbase Pad 2 activation campaign complete, wrapping up several days of testing that loaded cryogenic fuel and oxidizer on a V3 vehicle for the first time. While the 10-engine static fire ended early due to a ground-side issue, we saw successful startup on all installed Raptor 3 engines. Next up: preparing the booster for a 33-engine static fire

Yep. Just base it on v14, give it manual lane changes and red light/stop sign stopping and send it. It wouldn't take turns or do anything else, but it would 10x+ safety and give them the plug for advertising fsd "Hey next time would like to take this route hands free, subscribe to fsd" and sprinkle the user with trials.

Tesla NEEDS to do a free version of FSD Delivering cars with just TACC is a fucked up situation Please Tesla, this will supercharge adoption. It’s not for me, i’m a paid FSD user. But we need to hook the users who don’t want to or can’t pay.

@forstall_ @SawyerMerritt Painful brother 🤦

@doakills @SawyerMerritt "f they truly cared about the god damn roads it would have been fixed years over" because they didn't have funding

NEWS: US House transport committee head wants to collect EV fees for highway repairs. Representative Sam Graves, said he plans to take up a multi-year bill in early April. Last year, House Republicans ​proposed a new $250 annual fee on EVs and $100 for hybrid EVs ​but it was not included in a massive tax and ⁠spending bill. The current five-year surface transportation law expires on September ​30. "We would like to get money from EVs," Graves said at a ​U.S. Chamber of Commerce infrastructure event, saying he expects the five-year bill to include $500 billion to $550 billion in funding for highways and bridges. usnews.com/news/us/articl…

Again my comments have absolutely nothing to do with paying for roads. It’s question of theater. If they truly cared about the god damn roads it would have been fixed years over as inflation has increased, spoiler it hasn’t. And yes you’re right, hybrids played a role, but CARB has also increased non-bev / hybrid vehicles to levels that were never seen and yet the tax remained. It’s all games and theater. If they truly cared to have a functioning tax this would have been ran and changed accordingly across the decades at this point.

@doakills @SawyerMerritt Because federal didn't have enough funding because like you said it hasn't been adjusted since 1993 especially when hybrids effectively cut the tax for all by half.

That’s cool but the states are over leveraging because federal funding has done nothing other than cut checks to fund projects vs collect tax. The federal fuel tax hasn’t increased since 1993, meaning no cost adjustments have occurred for inflation at all. I get your all sensitive to EVs paying there share, and this isn’t my take, I’ll gladly pay roads as I drive them, but when the government itself has done absolutely nothing to flip this script and these politicians only want to attack and lay ground work one way, it’s obvious, and makes no sense when the remaining is staying status quo, and maybe I’m wrong, maybe they are increasing it across for all drivers, it until official bill language is available it’s all games and theater as usual. To answer the second bit, the state has to collect additional funds because there isn’t anything being driven from a federal to support states at a meaningful capacity. Again, prior reply, they need to adjust for federal if it changes, not eliminate it.

@doakills @SawyerMerritt state pays for state funding for roads. there's federal funding for roads. you're no longer paying for federal funding. you need to pay federal gov if you want roads to be maintained.

Via a state tax - just paid for both my cars in Washington - $661 - of that 150 + 75 went to state “infrastructure”. So if they pass this federal then the state nonsense and dipping twice shouldn’t exist at all at the level it does. They already struggle with people renewing and this will just double down on it.

@SawyerMerritt to those complaining: how do you pay for roads if you didn't collect a tax?

@SawyerMerritt This is fine except the states should be reducing their surcharge as well and maybe the federal tax on gas should increase as well? 250 on EVs doesn’t even touch what folks driving a ice vehicle pay at the federal level. Lot of sideways logic here passing taxes like this.

@CyberMikeOG Yeah nice try honestly.. even on older FSD builds I never seen it come even close to this, I’ve had moments of hugging paint lines hard but not straight nose diving into a shoulder.

Was this Cybertruck on FSD? I’ve never had my car approach a right hand turn at this speed.

When you save the best car for last. 📸 @doakills

@DBurkland @DragTimes @TX2K Oh for sure all day, you won’t find a single one these going for anything near msrp.

@doakills @DragTimes @TX2K Indeed, beautiful car too! For the value though I'd still take the Plaid and a Cybertruck for the same cost as the ZR1X :)

Is this what the ZR1x vs Plaid race will look like next week when I race them at @TX2K ?

@DBurkland @DragTimes @TX2K I’m going all three of the launch setting and tires are dialed and person driving isn’t sleeping. That ZR1X is a crazy unit

@DragTimes @TX2K As much as I love the Plaid I am willing to bet the ZR1X take it 2/3.

Stupid my mom’s and wife’s pixel 10 pros are working great. All my chargers, Tesla usb-c, cause it to reboot / loop. It will run for awhile and just freeze and go unresponsive on touch panel but phone is working still? The auto rotate bugs out. I’ve reloaded the firmware and it’s on latest patches.. @madebygoogle never worry though they don’t pay attention to notes left by customers and just send it back / cancel repair ~4 hours later after it was delivered.

@doakills Smart move. Surprised google didn’t take care of you.

NEW APP: FUSIONCAM FOR VIEWING TESLA DASHCAM FOOTAGE 🚀 It's been a long time coming, but today I finally released the first public version of my new multi-camera Dashcam viewer app named FusionCam! FusionCam is a minimalist app for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS that lets you view Dashcam and Sentry Mode footage from Tesla vehicles in a synchronized multi-camera grid with real-time telemetry overlays such as speed, gear, and Autopilot status. It scans dashcam folders, automatically groups events, and allows you to play back footage or export composite videos with a clean, streamlined overlay. The app began as a personal project I created for myself to more easily share dashcam clips recorded by my Tesla vehicles. Over time it evolved to the point where I decided to formally release it on the App Store as a complement to the excellent functionality Tesla has already built into their mobile app. Download v1.0.3 below and let me know what you think! - iOS & iPad: apps.apple.com/us/app/fusionc… - macOS: apps.apple.com/us/app/fusionc…

@DBurkland lol I’m still optimizing myself back to iOS, retired my pixel 10 pro because of hardware failure and google refusing to own it, so I’ll just use my iPhone 15 pro max until I decide my upgrade again in the fall..

@doakills Let me know if you hit any bugs. More optimization can definitely be done but I figured if I kept tweaking it I’d never get anything shipped 😂

@DBurkland Just getting home need to get my thumb drive out and give it a go.

@doakills Thanks dude!
