For this drive I'm going to be donating $.10 for each mile that I put in between these charities. I hope you'll find one that you can give to as well.

Even the singer at the Red Dog Saloon is talking about the SpaceX IPO today. He dedicated this song to it right before I started recording...

Thanks to some very kind people in the Alaska Tesla group I just completed a drive on FSD in Ketchikan, AK! This was my 49th state to drive using FSD. The future is here. Today. #48Plus

Check out my friend @reedes. He has what may be the first truly mobile instance of Openclaw. Where will he go next??
Breaking new ground with my camper van with an onboard Openclaw instance. After much experimentation it (or rather he) is now operational running in clamshell mode on my 2020 M1 MacBook Pro. I can chat with him while underway via Messages over CarPlay. 1/2 #vanlife #rvlife

Yes! And Boston, and NYC, and Philly, and...⚑️🚘πŸ”₯
FSD 14.3.3 drives so fucking well. Without exaggeration, the best self-driving experience in the world. It makes life in Southern California 1000x better. Thank you Tesla team. (it’s weaving through traffic and politely waiting for a cyclist to cross lincoln blvd rn)

Things are afoot... Great drone work, Joe. As always.
It’s Cybercab Bonanza day at Giga Texas! Fresh off the posting yesterday showing Cybercabs autonomously driving out of the production like exit point and taking the ~2 mile trip to the W EOL and @Tesla being granted a Level 4 Autonomous @Roxotabw service license in Texas, today we see a lot of Cybercabs on the move, with the hatch open showing the wheel covers prepped for shipping, ~ a dozen lined up at the factory exit point and much more! Check out this Cybercab action today!

Thanks to Everyone Who has reached out to me. I truly appreciate it. I've been trying to respond to so many things today but X keeps reporting that they all "fail to post". I will troubleshoot and get back to you. For now, be safe, use FSD! #48Plus #Grateful

Interviewed my almost 95 year old dad about his experience with his one month old Tesla Y. Here’s what he said both the good and the bad. Please show anyone on the fence about getting a Tesla Full a self Driving car or truck. It may change their mind.

Some things are worth taking a few days to verify properly. This is one of them... I'm proud to announce that I have successfully driven through all 48 contiguous states plus DC in my 2026 Tesla Model Y Juniper on FSD 14.3.2. And I did it solo. Actually, let's be accurate. I rode. FSD drove. πŸ—“οΈ May 20-29, 2026. πŸ—ΊοΈ 7,241 official miles. 9 days, 21 hours, 50 minutes. ⚑ Not a single gallon of gas. Not a single steering input. FSD drove every mile. πŸ’΅ Total cost: $901 in Supercharger fees. Same trip in a comparable gas SUV: ~$1,303. The moment that defined the trip: the tri-state corner of MT/WY/SD, the most remote stretch of the drive from a Supercharger standpoint. I could have taken a safer route but I wanted to get there on a single charge. I knew the risk. Turned off the AC, sweated through 95Β°F inside the cabin, arrived at 2%. Cost me a little backtracking to officially enter Wyoming. Worth every mile. 🎯 Call it a Gentleman's Cannonball Run. I pushed hard every single day, but with rules. Sleep every night. No tickets. No driving tired. Highway speeds. Supervising an autonomous system while exhausted is reckless. I know a little something about that. Those aren't arbitrary rules, safety is my first priority. I'm an airline pilot. ✈️ Based on everything I've been able to find, this trip may represent three records worth noting: πŸ† First FSD drive through all 48 contiguous states plus DC. Solo. πŸ† Most US jurisdictions covered in a single FSD trip (49) πŸ† Possibly first and fastest EV drive through all 48 states plus DC All claims subject to verification. If anyone has done this before, I genuinely want to know. My data is fully logged and available. #Tesla #FSD #ModelY #48StatesPlus #EVRoadTrip #GentlemansCannonball #FSD14 @Tesla @DavidMoss @WholeMars

While @davidmoss is definitely the OG, this guy that @SawyerMerritt talks about is The Godfather!!! πŸ‘΄πŸ»πŸˆβ€β¬›πŸŠπŸ€Œ
None of us can compete with Keith lol. He's now driven 73,240 miles (117,868 km) on @Tesla FSD Supervised since last November, or an average of 400 self-driving miles per day. Wild.

I also want to give a huge thank you to Omar at @wholemars, who built a live tracker for David's Canada run and has been incredibly generous helping me troubleshoot how FSD reports drive data. Follow along or put your own car on the leaderboard: πŸ† fsddb.com/leaderboard

Shoutout to @DavidMoss the OG FSD long-distance champion. His December cross-country trip inspired mine, and he's as genuinely good a person as he is a Tesla enthusiast. Even more so. He, @DevinOlsenn, and @Scotsrule08 just completed the first coast-to-coast FSD drive across Canada today. πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ fsddb.com/trackers/canadac2c Their encouragement throughout my drive meant everything.

I had four things in mind going in: do it safely, find the shortest route by time & distance, refine that route to use only the Supercharger network, and do it all on FSD. All four. Done. βœ… Plus, I'm the first to do it. We covered everything, busy city streets, bumper-to-bumper highway gridlock, construction of every kind, toll booths, border inspection points, muddy dirt roads to the middle of nowhere, and wildlife. FSD handled it all safely and left me rested enough to actually enjoy the journey. πŸš— I may have also set a solo time record (for all EVs) doing the lower 48 plus DC, but that's not why I did this. I did it to show that FSD is ready, right now, to get you and your family there safely. There are still some convenience quirks in the last hundred yards, but the road? It's got that handled. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ PS: Apologies for the long video. And for the cheesy ending. The wildlife made it home safe too. Highlight reel to follow. I regret nothing. πŸ˜‰

At the Supercharger with just 1 state left. Almost done with this #48Plus solo FSD drive. (Unofficial lives-saved tally: 11 birds, 4 cats, 1 bobcat, 7 deer, 1 calf, and one turkey who clearly had places to be.) Before I cross this last state line in a couple of hours, I want to pause and actually thank the people whose work made this possible: @elonmusk: Without your vision, none of this exists. Full stop. You executed it, sleeping on factory floors and grinding through the parts nobody sees. That gap between dreaming it and actually doing it is where most ideas go to die. Not this one. @aelluswamy: VP of AI/FSD, building the intelligence that kept me on the road mile after mile @larsmoravy: VP of Vehicle Engineering, responsible for the range and efficiency that got me here @mike_megapack: VP of Energy & Charging, the reason there's always been a Supercharger where I needed one @MdeZegher: Director of Charging, keeping the network running and growing @Tesla & @Tesla_AI: the engineers who actually built it Every mile of this trip ran on what you've built. This technology saves lives. Genuinely grateful. πŸ™βš‘ #Tesla #FSD #48Plus P.S. I am completely serious about the animals πŸ˜„

Spent an embarrassing amount of time in Lamar, CO hunting for a proper metal spoon while my car charged. πŸ₯„ A kind woman at a bar just gave me one. Wouldn't take a dime for it. That's it. That's what did it. Her small act of kindness made me want to return it, to her town, and beyond. Because this drive is giving me something I didn't expect: time to think about people outside myself. 48 million Americans face real food insecurity. In this country. So I donated $100 each to the Rocky Mountain Food Bank and the Lamar senior center.
