After buying an electric car.. I don’t think I can ever go back to gas cars. The only maintenance I’ve done in the past 3 years is get new tires.

One of Elon's most vocal critics just bought a Cybertruck. Brian Krassenstein, who has spent years publicly clashing with @elonmusk, announced the purchase yesterday. His reason had nothing to do with politics. He has a young family and the Cybertruck is the only pickup truck in America to hold both an IIHS Top Safety Pick award and a perfect 5-star NHTSA rating simultaneously. When your fiercest critics are buying your product because the data leaves them no choice, that's a different kind of win.

Only when you drive the Cybertruck do you realize how incredible it is: a bulletproof tank that moves like a million dollar sports car! Reason for the angular shape is that the thick, ultra-hard stainless steel body panels cannot be stamped like the thin, feeble, paper-strength mild steel of other trucks. Cybertruck body panels would break 5000 ton stamping machines.

Why drive your kids in any other car?

the new immersive sound max mode in the Tesla spring update sounds great! You can really hear the song come to life as you slide the slider up.

Every one of these dots is an actual crash from the fleet. Real world speeds, collisions, and people. Not just the regulatory test cases. The richness of this data is what enabled the result. With simulation we can replay the crashes and measure the forces on the human body model. Then sweep through restraint deployment times to find that deploying earlier gives the time for the bag to be inflated optimally and seat belt pretension before the occupant has moved out of position. But it takes time for crash accelerometers to be certain. Lowering that time threshold risks unwanted deployments. Using vision gives the vehicle confidence to reduce that timing. The camera sees the impending impact and together with the sensors tell the restraint controller to reduce the filter and act sooner. The Y Axis shift in Predicted Injury Severity is based on sensors in the human body models from rerunning the crash simulations with the faster detection threshold. Such a reduction in injury severity across the spectrum is unheard of, let alone doing this via an update over the air. I'm extremely proud of the analysis team's work and dedication. Going above and beyond to ask "we have the safest car on the road but can we make it even safer?" And then working with the vision team to build the predictions needed to make it happen. Rigorously tested in simulation and then in physical crash testing. Now deployed and improving lives. I watch the video on loop and just imagine each dot, a person.

The human-perceived RGB is image 1 and the Tesla AI photon count reconstruction is image 2. This is why Tesla FSD can see so well at night or through extreme glare.

WE SET THE NEW YORK CITY TO LA FSD CANNONBALL RUN RECORD! Zero disengagements or human intervention on FSD v14.3.2 for 2,833 miles! 49:55:57, beating previous record by ~8.5 hours! Huge shoutout to copilots @DBurkland @AaronS5_ for joining along. Videos coming soon. @Tesla_AI

Tesla Smart Summon no longer feels like a gimmick. With FSD v14.3.2 it immediately activates, has no issues in heavy rain, and pulls over just like Robotaxi.

Forestry saw, three chain saws, an axe, hatches, pruning shears, Starlink, diesel for the tractor, spare chain and blades, files, and other tools. I used to lose an hour or more a week to loading just the bits I expected to need. Now just keep it all in the vault.

I have friends who never touch the wheel anymore because of it

FSD possibly saved a child today.

I’ve always opposed EV mandates, rejected the idea that EVs will save the world, and preferred traditional engines for vehicles like the F-150 I used to drive. That said, it’s clear that Teslas are absolutely top-notch products. It’s not hard to see how they’ve developed a dedicated following.

What do you notice about this clip? Can you see it? FSD did.
