Meet Ian, 68 years old. He just bought his first EV, a Tesla with FSD. He wrote to me about what a life-changing experience it has been: “I have Parkinson’s and FSD is a godsend. It really helps me by not needing to constantly keep my foot on the accelerator pedal.”

Congratulations to Ian and his wife Helen on the new Model Y! Glad my videos helped 🙌

@ryanjaycowan @TeslaAUNZ How can someone send you a message here on X? I don’t seem to be able to contact you, unless it’s via comment 🤷‍♂️

@ryanjaycowan @wholemars @TeslaAUNZ Love this! Thanks for sharing Ryan! ❤️

@ryanjaycowan @TeslaAUNZ Welcome to the irony of EV ownership. Charging the ICE car because no one drives it.

@ryanjaycowan @TeslaAUNZ When I did the FSD demo at the EV show I got talking to the Tesla staff there, and even they said the biggest demographic they’re seeing coming through wanting to try FSD are elders who still want their independence but know their reflexes etc aren’t as good as they were.

@ryanjaycowan @TeslaAUNZ This is 100% heartwarming. Nice work Ian, you legend - I hope you enjoy many more years of safe, comfortable driving and independence! Lifechanging technology. Thanks for posting, Ryan!

@ryanjaycowan @TeslaAUNZ Love this story!

@ryanjaycowan @TeslaFrenzy @TeslaAUNZ He will love steer by wire in the Cybertruck

@ryanjaycowan @JoeTegtmeyer @TeslaAUNZ How cool must be many other things it's helping with. I just enjoy sunglasses and a nap.

@ryanjaycowan @TeslaAUNZ My father has a neurological disorder as well and by the end of the day he's very tired from being intentional about his balance so the ability for him to merely hit Home has been wonderful. It's truly incredible technology & has improved his quality of life & our peace of mind.

Free Cone Day is here! Come celebrate with us at a DQ location on today by getting a FREE small vanilla cone 🍦

@ryanjaycowan @TeslaAUNZ That's awesome. This is what every FUD writer should be considering when they're trying to put their readers/listeners/watchers off from buying one. Zero consideration for those who massively benefit from the technology

@ryanjaycowan @TeslaAUNZ I recommend a Tesla to my sister who had MS as I thought it could be enabler for her in the future.

@ryanjaycowan @jchybow @TeslaAUNZ Congratulations 🎉 Ian you are so deserving :)

@ryanjaycowan @JoeTegtmeyer @TeslaAUNZ I don’t think Elon ever realized that FSD was a godsend for seniors and certain people with medical issues.

@ryanjaycowan @TeslaAUNZ For the last 15 years we have only owned BMW's. We purchased our Model Y 3 weeks ago and FSD outright. This is by far the best car we have ever owned, it's not even close.

@ryanjaycowan @wholemars @TeslaAUNZ My mother has a similar story with Neuropathy in her feet. So glad Ian gave it a chance!

@ryanjaycowan @TeslaAUNZ Love this, thanks for sharing Ryan!

@ryanjaycowan @TeslaAUNZ My late brother, who suffered many years with Parkinson’s, could have been driving safely another decade than he did.

It’s time to dance! Get it on tournament action with Bonus Bets from FanDuel.

@ryanjaycowan @TeslaAUNZ Congrats to Ian on his new Glacier Blue Model Y I love these stories I recently helped one of my patients to buy an Model Y too.

@ryanjaycowan @TeslaAUNZ Mines the same White seats ( of course) and Glacier Blue!

@ryanjaycowan @TeslaAUNZ Congratulations Ian! I’m in Melbourne and picked up my Tesla Model Y Long Range 2025/6 in November from Tesla Mulgrave. The whole experience was magic! I have Glacier Blue as well, it’s a great colour and I love FSD. I’m 72

@ryanjaycowan @TeslaAUNZ Great! A better option would be for him to stop driving. Give it up, ya know?

@ryanjaycowan @TeslaAUNZ This is a wonderful story and that MY looks 🔥

@ryanjaycowan @TeslaAUNZ I will definitely give fsd a try the moment I can ❤️

@ryanjaycowan @TeslaAUNZ Throw open the doors to retirement complexes. FSD is freeing the silver-haired! Hallelujah!

@ryanjaycowan @TeslaAUNZ Congrats to him. FSD literally changing lives

@ryanjaycowan @TeslaAUNZ Legend

@ryanjaycowan @TeslaAUNZ Ian wins. Our auto sector loses. As usual.

@ryanjaycowan @TeslaAUNZ I first became interested in Tesla Self Driving because my dad and brother have trouble driving for health reasons.

@ryanjaycowan @TeslaAUNZ Maybe Tesla should advertise this…oh wait they don’t advertise. They hope the randoms on X will keep saying it to the same people over and over again…smh

@ryanjaycowan @TeslaAUNZ May they get v14 soon so they can be bit more free :)

@ryanjaycowan @wholemars @TeslaAUNZ

@ryanjaycowan @TeslaAUNZ Ian… Welcome to the future. Teslas changed the way I drive as well. All you do now is sit back, relax, and tap that blue Start Self Drive button. You’re going to love it. Welcome to the Tesla family.

@ryanjaycowan @JoeTegtmeyer @TeslaAUNZ this tech is a miracle.

@ryanjaycowan @TeslaAUNZ I needed FSD when my broken knee was healing and immobilized for 2 years. Was in OKC. My hotel had a museum: was an old Ford Plant.
