Tesla FSD (Supervised) has just officially been approved in Belgium! 🇧🇪 This is now the 5th European country to get FSD approval.

FSD approved in Denmark

🇰🇷🇰🇷 Korea is Awesome 🇰🇷🇰🇷

Crazy busy week, but feeling fantastic. Starting a new business always gives me so much energy. Been working 7 am-11 pm for 7 days straight, but I’m in such a flow state that my Oura ring shows only very few stress peaks. Can’t do this for weeks anymore like in the past though :)

🚨 BREAKING: NATO SecGen Mark Rutte just STUNNED the Democrats, coming out in 100% support of President Trump's Iran triumph "The Commander-in-Chief, the leader of the free world, President Donald J. Trump, I REALLY commend what is happening here! Taking out Khamenei, taking out the nuclear capability and ballistic missile program in Iran." 🔥 "This is crucial. I spoke with ALL the key European leaders...there's WIDESPREAD support for the president's doing."

Great news for 🇪🇺Europe. Grok comes to Tesla vehicles.

My prediction: No European car companies may survive the next decade, they all missed the boat on EVs. Most don’t even realize it yet.

I wish I’d have neighbours like that. Even most of my friends don’t (want to) see what’s coming. Hardly any of them are preparing for it either, they seem to think it’ll all be fine. Was this why Jews didn’t flee Germany in the 1930s? Did they not (want to) see what was coming?

Een bedreiging in Vlaanderen. Geen boetes mogelijk voor smartphone gebruik in het verkeer alsook voor te snel rijden. Zeer waarschijnlijk zal deze Tesla af en toe door foute signalisatie of niet duidelijke signalisatie te snel rijden. Maar er is geen chauffeur. Wie ga je dan beboeten? Waarom zet men niet hier op in om Vlaanderen de eerste regio te laten worden waar autonoom kan gereden worden? Neen, uit wanhoop gaat men liever nog wat trajectcontroles bij zetten. Uw Vlaamse overheid.

Dangerous precedent. Taking this argument a step further could lead to the US taking control of Europe as well.

In de Verenigde Staten ligt de verzekeringspremie tot 50% lager wanneer voertuigen uitgerust zijn met Tesla’s zelfrijdende technologie. De sensoren die deze systemen mogelijk maken, zijn vandaag al standaard aanwezig in een groot deel van het wagenpark ook in Europa en dragen aantoonbaar bij aan een significante daling van het aantal ongevallen. Steeds meer voertuigen zijn standaard uitgerust met geavanceerde rijhulpsystemen die het reeds toelaten om gedurende korte tijd het stuur los te laten (conform de Ursula-EU beperkingen), waardoor zelfs het kort raadplegen van een smartphone in volledige veiligheid kan gebeuren. Technologisch zijn meerdere constructeurs hier vandaag al toe in staat, maar de huidige regelgeving hinkt achterop en laat deze mogelijkheden nog niet toe. Uiteindelijk lijkt het erop dat overheden, moreel ontspoord, eerder kiezen voor het behoud van boete-inkomsten dan voor het faciliteren van bewezen, veiligere technologie.

Ik weet niet waar België zit op de Laffer curve, maar in het beste geval naderen we het maximising point. In het slechtste zijn we er al over. Dan zullen de inkomsten weer tegenvallen en blijven tegenvallen bij elke nieuwe belasting. Dat ze a.u.b. niet zeggen dat het weer de schuld van de ondernemers en beleggers is. Zuivere economische theorie. Helaas.

Talent is moving from Apple to Tesla to realize and bring to market the most advanced AI-controlled humanoid robot the world has seen. Optimus may not be the first product on the market, but I don't know of any other product that comes close to Tesla's Software and Hardware level. The hands are a good example of this, because with hands that can't do everything a human can do, it won't be possible to bring a humanoid robot to market that can do everything a human can do and that's the goal. If you have another goal thats fine, but then you are not developing a humanoid robot that will do all and everything and thats needed. As with FSD, there are delays with Optimus, which is just a sign that Tesla wants to do it right and not take shortcuts like e.g. autonomous cars with many sensors and Lidar, a fools errand, which ultimately only lead to a local maximum and a dead end. A specialized robot that can perform one task well may look great at first, but it can't compete with a robot that can perform every conceivable task well, and that's the key difference. You don't want to have four different versions of humanoid robots at home for 4 tasks, and you don't want to have ten different versions in your factory, as this is insufficient, limits productivity and flexibility, and incurs high costs. Also, never forget that mass production and financial flexibility and strength is one of Tesla's core competencies. Once they find the best solution for designing and producing Optimus, it will be a product that no other company can compete with. Until then, you'll have to expect delays and lots of nice videos from other vendors featuring humanoid robots that can perform a limited number of tasks well but cannot be further improved and thats for me as an $tsla investor just a marketing stunt with no relevance.

Fully autonomous already today in 🇩🇪 Giga Berlin In December with safety driver in all larger cities in 🇩🇪🇫🇷🇮🇹 In February 2026 FSD supervised likely for all Tesla owners in 🇳🇱 and maybe later all of 🇪🇺 Europe And 1-2 years later fully autonomous Cybercabs Tesla is an AI company and the AI autonomous service comes with a car. $tsla

For those affected by the severe flooding in Indonesia, Starlink is providing free service to new and existing customers through the end of December. We’re also working with the Indonesian government to rapidly deploy terminals and restore connectivity to the hardest-hit areas on Sumatra → starlink.com/support/article…

Tesla has been working hard toward shipping Full Self-Driving (Supervised) in Europe for over 12 months now. We have given FSD demos to regulators of almost every EU country. We have requested early access, pilot release programs or exemptions where possible. We have developed & shared detailed safety evidence for FSD, now public in our latest Safety Report. And we have driven over 1 million kilometers safely on EU roads across 17 different countries (internal testing).  Our main path to success is partnering with the Dutch approval authority RDW to gain exemption for the feature. This involves proving compliance with existing regulations (UN-R-171 DCAS) filing an exemption (EU Article 39) for yet-to-be-regulated behaviors like Level 2 systems off-highway, system-initiated lane changes with hands-off the wheel etc.  Some of these regulations are outdated and rules-based, which makes FSD illegal in its current form. Changing FSD to be compliant with these rules would make it unsafe and unusable in many cases. While we have changed FSD to be maximally compliant where it is logical and reasonable, we won't sacrifice the safety of a proven system or materially deteriorate customer usability.  As a result, we are gathering evidence to get exemptions on a specific rule-by-rule basis. Unfortunately, the real world fleet-proven safety wins alone are considered insufficient.  Currently, RDW has committed to granting Netherlands National approval in February 2026. Please contact them via link below to express your excitement & thank them for making this happen as soon as possible. Upon NL National approval, other EU countries can immediately recognize the exemption and also allow rollout within their country. Then we will bring it to a TCMV vote for official EU-wide approval.  We're excited to bring FSD to our owners in Europe soon! rdw.nl/en/contact/our-contac…

Just say yes to FSD EUROPE WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR????????????????????????????????????????????

Tesla starting Robotaxi in Japan is very good news. Japan is pretty cheap nowadays because of the low Yen, but taxis are still outrageously expensive due to a shortage of taxi drivers (most are older retired men). I was in Japan 2 weeks ago and spent a small fortune on taxis. Several trips were at least USD 250 (Narita-Tokyo, Fukuoka to Beppu etc.), and even in Tokyo a short ride is easily USD 25 or more.

In the end, life is just one big memory— a reel of moments to savor alone or hand down like heirlooms to relatives who’ll retell them crooked, but warm. So make them loud: a slammed door that still echoes, a joke that cracked the table in half, the way your mother’s soup tasted like Sunday at 3 p.m. Burn them bright enough to outlast the forgetting.
