The Cyber Guy

@French_Jim @JoNationLive You break into the segment by making the technology extremely easy to use. You make the UX so that it doesn’t require a baseline level of technical knowledge in order to use effectively. look at the iPhone and why it is so popular with the elderly. It just works.

@JoNationLive Unfortunately, the population that needs Tesla FSD is mostly technology laggards. How does Tesla break into this segment?

Picked up a pizza order. As I walked out, an elderly couple was getting out of their new Tesla Model Y. I said, “Beautiful car.” He said, “Thank you. It’s the best car I’ve ever owned.” I said, “Why?” He said, “You see me—I’m 78 and can barely walk, let alone drive. I’m taking my wife out for date night again after 52 years of marriage. We couldn’t do this with our old car. I didn’t buy this to save the planet. I bought it to save me.” 😢 All choked up, I said, “Thank you for sharing. You two go enjoy your dinner!” I see and hear this so often from elderly people buying Teslas, but it never gets old. Tesla is freedom🫶🏻

@rajuvamsi007 @TexasTSLA Wouldn't it be the opposite?

@TexasTSLA Model Y is mid life crisis car. M3P is the fun one

Why did I get so bored with this car? My Model S - I enjoyed it and loved that look. Felt premium and drove with a premium feel Model 3 was cool and my first FSD experience that plus no doors was hilarious. Model Y LR RWD. FSD feels too smooth and perfect. Cabin is so quiet, ride is so smooth. The car is quick but not fast..should I have gotten the model y performance? What am I missing? Why do I feel bored already 😞

@CryptoCyberia Another great example of why it's important to follow the 3-2-1 backup rule for any important information.

This is hilarious ngl

@maestro__exe @elonmusk Because there are ongoing costs due to the iterative development of FSD

@elonmusk Why do people have to pay for the FSD after buying the vehicles??

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

@blueskykites @Tesla Good thing they give 30 days of free windshield and tire coverage

FML 🤦🏻‍♂️ barely a week old and Model S gets a stone chip in driver’s view.

@JSX423 @Tesla_AI Usually unless the speed limit is 55 or greater, the left lane isn’t a “passing lane”

Another day and another time of FSD in Hurry 'thinking it's going fast in the fast lane' embarrassingly (for me) getting passed at +15mph because traffic on this 35mph road averages 55 to 60 like I say everytime. STAY OUT of the PASSING lane, FSD! @Tesla_AI

@ChadMoran Holy shit they must have a terrible driving record. My MY Premium is $150/mo for full coverage

Show me a more out of touch group. There's a big difference in value vs affordability. Yes it's a good value, but it's not affordable. I convinced my friend to buy a Model Y and was quoted $400/mo for insurance. Went with an IONIQ that was cheaper and $110/mo for insurance. Oh and add $100/mo for FSD... C'mon.

@UK_Daniel_Card My go-to joke for situations like this was “it knew you called dad so it decided to straighten up its act!”

the IT dude looks cool, the judge seems like a bit of a knob!

@MyTeslaMoonship People don’t have lidar so they slam into things in the fog.

I had an odd conversation today. One coworker was asking me about my Tesla and FSD. We were just casually chatting and he was very curious. Another coworker came up and said “because we don’t have fog.” Me and the other guy stared at him confused. He mentioned something about radar and I said that mine uses vision. He said “yeah because it doesn’t have lidar, the cars can’t see in the fog and slam into things.” He mentioned a video of a Tesla hitting a barrier in fog? I hadn’t seen that one. I told him that mine has driven through fog just fine, but I remember that @JoshWest247 had some issues with fog recently. We kind of just all shrugged and dispersed. Anyone have recent issues with fog or know of that video that my coworker referenced?

@pmtiegs Also you should try to make sure they aren’t overbuilding your system. Too much heat or cooling capacity can lead to short cycling and excess cost. It’s pretty common for HVAC companies to overdo it.

@pmtiegs You should do a heat pump instead of a furnace js

Alright folks, anyone here an HVAC expert? I’ve got the guy down to $22,300 for this setup installed in the attic, but that still seems crazy high. Getting other quotes but wanted to gut check.

@DirtyTesLa Bad

Would you call this a good park job or a bad park job? 100% FSD

tsk tsk @Betterment - time for a new alias. Let this serve as an example why everyone should use email aliases and not trust websites (even banks) with your real email address.

"Couldn't match" does not mean "doesn't match" for the record.

@emkenobi 'Couldn't match' does not mean 'doesn't match'.

I would like to apologize to all the conspiracy theorists I called crazy. Looks like you were onto something lol.

@JamesPGoddard90 You're lying :)

The bullet used to kill Charlie Kirk does not match the rifle allegedly used by suspect Tyler Robinson. The murder weapon and the alleged murder weapon are not the same weapon.

Luckily the Tesla navigation will route you around superchargers that are offline, so no worry of showing up to one that's not working. Florida Power & Light have reported that their grid is more than capable of handling the uptick in charging due to evacuations/hurricanes. Tesla also deploys mobile charging trailers to the worst-hit areas following storms so that people don't go without.

@Cyber_guy @DonaldCapak @elonmusk They certainly can, so don’t be too naive. The electrical grids in the US are a hot fragile mess but hopefully a few hundred miles will be a good enough distance to get to safety.

@DevinOlsenn There are countless videos. Some people don't seek them out. That's part of the learning experience for most Tesla first-time buyers. The happy surprises are a good thing, not a bad thing.

This video is a double edged sword for me. On one hand I love that she is enjoying her Tesla. On the other hand - it’s a bit concerning that someone who has owned a Tesla for four months had NO idea the car would plan your road trip for you with supercharging stops and show things like capacity at the supercharger. Tesla really needs to put together a short 60 second commercial with all of the things the car can do for you and blast it all over the tv/internet. I was hoping the Tesla Vision contest from last year would result in some good content that Tesla would have then promoted online to help educate people - but that hasn’t happened I don’t think. x.com/devinolsenn/st…

Have you seen the runs on gas stations in instances like that? If you have an EV, you've got a full tank every time you leave your garage. That'll get you 250-300 miles easily before you have to charge again, and there's so much charging infrastructure now that it's not an issue. Plus, the charging station won't 'run out' of fuel.

@elonmusk EVs I thought were supposed to be about zero emissions but that was never mentioned. It was all about amenities. Either way, I wouldn’t own one, can’t imagine evacuating for a hurricane and trusting I’ll make it to my destination w/o stranding my family.

@TheOnlyFronk @elonmusk Model 3 standard. Get one used in a few years and it'll be the best possible vehicle for the money. It's already the best vehicle for the money, but if you don't want to spend new car money, don't get a new car.

@elonmusk I want one bad, but we just dont buy luxury cars. It is a terrible waste of money. Can you please make a version for normal people? Commuter 2 door with non leather seats and no sunroof? Something that costs less than any other car in Canada. You gotta beat them to win.
