@spotted_model @thecyberfam @cybertruck Nah was a short ride home, the rubber end of the tonneau just keeps it firm enough to not slide. I wanted it in the bed but was afraid the young branches would snap. 😂

@technojawa They won’t partner with Tesla most likely because robotaxi is already encroaching their domain. Better to pick on the small guy so they can negotiate from a position of strength. 🙄

Big moves from Rivian 👀
RJ Scaringe@RJScaringe

I’m excited to announce a partnership with @Uber. As part of this, Uber plans to invest up to $1.25 billion in Rivian and deploy up to 50,000 R2 robotaxis. This partnership accelerates our path to Level 4 autonomy and supports our goal of building one of the safest autonomous platforms in the world—across both shared and personally owned vehicles. The combination of Rivian’s rapidly growing data flywheel, our in-house RAP1 inference platform (800 TOPS), and our multi-modal perception stack provides a powerful foundation to scale autonomy quickly and responsibly over the next couple of years.

Nope. But it’s still a mystery. And the cops never called me back. 😂 I love X because people were blowing up and enhancing the screen on the woman’s phone like we were in CSI. Looked like the Turo app. But I’ve also learned this a cover for theft scouting. So WTFK. And my charging port was miraculously OK. 🤣

My mom took delivery of her second Tesla today, a Model Y Performance! Three years ago, it took a lot to convince her to give Tesla a chance. Her 2023 Model X was her first EV. When it came time for a new car this year, she said she will own nothing but Tesla the rest of her life. She relies heavily on FSD and couldn’t have a car without it. Thank you to the wonderful people at Tesla Sarasota for being so kind and accommodating to my mom today!!

Why in the world is Consumer Reports quoting these insane, unrealistic insurance rates for Teslas? I’ve never heard of anyone paying $400/mo to insure a Model 3.

@thecyberfam @cybrtrkguy Yeah I was curious how long calibration was taking so I opened audio menu during the drive and it would show those other messages depending on what music I had on at the moment. Seems faster calibration will need sound turned off and no climate control for a bit

@_protons @cybrtrkguy Very interesting, I never saw any of that. Did those messages pop up or only show on the "audio" screen if you were looking?

@BigImpactHumans Yeah, life got too comfortable for a lot of folks. Many generations grew up now in the 1st world never having faced any sort of real strife or consequences. Countless bodycam footage online showcasing this entitled and insufferable behavior from all types. It’s a disgrace.

For almost all of human existence (tens of thousands of years right up until the Industrial Revolution), our lives were dominated by one single thing: the endless struggle for food. Every culture poured the vast majority of its time, energy, manpower, and resources into getting food. Hunting it. Gathering it. Farming it. Storing it. Distributing it. For most of history, 80-95% of people in every society were directly tied to agriculture. Even as late as 1790 in the young United States, about 90% of the population farmed. Globally, it was still 60-70% in 1925. Take the Roman Empire. Everyone talks about the emperors and conquering armies. But Rome’s true superpower was its food system. They mastered acquiring vast farmlands through conquest, built aqueducts for water, and created the cura annonae, an incredibly efficient logistics network that shipped hundreds of thousands of tons of grain from Egypt and North Africa every year. This grain dole fed hundreds of thousands in Rome itself and kept the empire stable. “Bread and circuses” wasn’t just a slogan. Food security was the foundation of their power. Then mechanized agriculture changed everything in the blink of an eye (historically speaking). Today in developed countries like the US, UK, and Germany, only 1-2% of the workforce works in farming. One modern farmer can feed hundreds of people. We’ve suddenly been given something our ancestors never had: enormous amounts of free time. But I wonder… have we really adapted? That ancient restlessness, the constant drive, vigilance, and hunger that kept us chasing the next meal for millennia, is still hardwired into us. With the food struggle largely solved, where does all that energy go? Endless scrolling, outrage, status games, manufactured crises, and general societal craziness? Maybe we’re not crazy. Maybe we’re just bored hunters with full bellies and no saber-toothed tigers left to chase.

It was 4 seconds from the time of FSD disengagement until the impact. However, it was 2 seconds from disengagement until the start of the turn. Which FSD should have slowed down for. That's 170 ft to go from 60 MPH to 20 MPH. Or about 0.63g of stopping force... that's hard braking.
Chad Moran@ChadMoran

Here's the original video, which looks like it's actual speed. I used two markers and consistently measured it. It took 75 frames in a 30 FPS video to travel 212.63 ft equating to 57.9 MPH (probably 60). The incident occurred in August of 2025. These are just facts. Yes the driver should have intervened sooner. Yes, FSD was approaching way too fast.

Trump: Cuba, it's a beautiful island. Great weather. I will be having the honor of taking Cuba. Whether I free it, take it. I think I can do anything I want with it, if you want to know the truth
