Day 1 vs. Day 3,652 @tesla - Celebrating my 10 year anniversary at Tesla today! After a decade at Tesla, I feel incredibly honored for all of the achievements our company has completed including an estimated 7,516,772 vehicles delivered during my tenure. Looking back, it has been beyond challenging while being one of the most rewarding companies I have ever worked for. The non stop commitment to changing the world to be a better place by transitioning the world to sustainable energy (abundance) is driven by the most talented, driven individuals that solve the toughest problems most others would never ever touch. We are encouraged to fail fast, learn from it, and implement improvements and solve the problem. Every day feels like a new day, it never feels the same and this is what makes working for Tesla so exciting. I started at the ground level as an owner advisor in our location in Walnut Creek CA. Now, I am fortunate to work on North America Sales Operations overseeing US, Canada, and Latin America including Signage, Business Generation and many other projects I cannot speak about....wink wink. I am so thankful to my wife for all of her support over all of these years, I would be lying if I didn't almost give up many times but she kept me grounded and gave me confidence to continue going and to look at all of the positives vs. negatives @LatorresPack Thank you to @elonmusk for being a visionary leader! Your inspiring drive has fueled my decade-long journey at Tesla, and I'm grateful for your unmatched innovation Thank you to @troyrjones for recruiting me from the watch industry.

Bernie is lifetime politician & grifter living off of Taxpayers since 1981 Using a Capitalistic society — he’s made millions on his book, “It’s Okay to be Angry about Capitalism” & then bought multiple Real Estate acquisitions, for himself 😂
Bernie Sanders is a fraud.

5 drives and a couple hours in with the new second build of FSD v14.3.4 (2026.14.6.11): FSD v14.3.4 so far has been insanely good, so good that I’m currently sitting at a 175 mile FSD streak. I haven’t had to disengage it yet since receiving the first build on Thursday. Didn’t expect or see much change tonight, and I assume it was just quick bug fixes but I’ll share how my drives went anyways. After receiving the new bug fix update tonight, I went to pick up dinner at a taco stand about 20 minutes away. The drive went perfectly and as great as v14.3.4 has been so far. Smooth, quick creeping at unprotected intersections, good speed control around town and then Hurry Mad Max did a great job on the highway getting around slower cars. Parking at the taco stand went very well, in fact I’ve never seen the parking lot and line so busy there and FSD found the first available spot and parked very well. It did it in one attempt and was pretty straight. Something I noticed on my third drive was going into Beverly Hills when the speed limit drops to 25 it was very quick to drop its speed down as it saw the speed limit sign. Super awesome behavior and a great improvement from before in that spot. I also saw the same steering wheel twitch in the same place as the previous build as well. On my fourth drive, I had it navigate to Rodeo Drive, set the arrival type to Pull Over and it found the first space with enough room and pulled up like it would be dropping someone off. Felt very Robotaxi like how it made the approach. I kept going home and doing some of my normal driving routes and it all went well, exactly how I’d expect and how it did before on v14.3.4. Overall, feels as good as it did before, no changes seen/noticed- it seems like just a super quick bug fix update to something small or the car itself- this is not a bad thing as FSD v14.3.4 has been fantastic overall on both builds. Thanks @Tesla_AI for the quick update cadence!

Hit my best score ever today at Eagle Vines Napa—88—and finally made it into the 80s club on the 6400-yard tee box. Next goal: low 80s. I am loving my @pxg fitted set and my new mai tai head cover from @Trader_Vics

8 drives and 5 hours in with FSD v14.3.4 and here are my thoughts: FSD v14.3.4 brought noticeably improved driving with some great UI changes and additions. Mad Max is mad again! In heavy LA traffic today, Mad Max is making these epic lane changes again, similar to when it first came out, and especially on city streets the change is noticeable. The lane changes are very calculated and confident too. The “Curbside” Arrival Option wording has been replaced with “Pull Over” and I think this is way better. You don’t always pull up along a curb or street so it just pulls over right at the destination and it’s way more clear. UI changes: FSD now displays the arrival options as you’re approaching the destination and tells you on the screen how it will park- this is helpful if you want to change anything. It pops up about 0.2 miles away from the destination, I think it might be helpful for some destinations but it feels too early at times if that 0.2 miles is in traffic or a turn before. After you type in a destination or ask Grok to navigate somewhere, it now pops up as a message on the screen where it is heading to. This actually feels more like a Robotaxi experience. With the new UI changes, you can really feel Tesla is gearing FSD towards everyone having a more Robotaxi-like experience without users having to think about what it will do next or where will it go, and so they know what to expect. I think this was a nice addition and big change once you use it. This will be especially helpful for newer FSD users. It’s actually quite nice to see ahead of time in bigger letters where it will go/how it will park as sometimes I change between driveway or street at home so I know where it’s headed, so if I have a car in the driveway I can make sure street is selected and I don’t forget. The nag seems the same usually, except in some cases driving into sun and traffic it felt more sensitive twice. Lane changes with this build are confident and in some cases, earlier than before on city streets which is good. Had only one almost late lane change before a turn, but Mad Max got around them no problem. Recently, before this update, in Mad Max and Hurry profiles on city streets it would get comfortable in its lane and not get around slow cars quick enough- that’s now improved and great to see especially in rush hour! Made some awesome moves today. Leaving stop signs, Mad Max still has a smooth and linear acceleration curve, it wasn’t jerky or choppy. Mad Max is now my favorite profile again for city streets and its speed control has been great. Lane choices are better before staging/getting over for upcoming turns but I did have a twitchy steering wheel at one turn tonight. Hurry profile seems to have also gotten a bit more assertive again, which is great! Parking: some parking jobs were good tonight, and some it didn’t one shot. Twice it didn’t back up as far as I would, probably needed another 4 inches. Spot selection might be slightly better than v14.3.3, but still needs to pick them quicker especially in parking garages so it doesn’t loop or take too long. It really needs to pick the first good spot it sees always in garages. The speed it drives in empty parking lots are quicker than before and it’s awesome. Actually Smart Summon reaction time when you start it is still phenomenal and so quick, so fun to have your car drive you around parking lots while in the back seat. Overall, FSD v14.3.4 brings some huge UI additions and some improved driving behavior, and it definitely feels like a more major update than just a point release. Thanks @Tesla_AI for another banger update!

My experience with Schwab was absolute 💩 - I put in for $50k of shares and they gave me 13 shares. Never trusting them again.
Charles Schwab performed the absolute worse in the $SPCX IPO. I was fortunate to not trust a single brokerage (multiple accounts). But friends were not: example a 30 year customer and ton of money asked for 500 shares and got 2. @CharlesSchwab has a lot of answering to do.

Within ~5 years, probably ~5 times as many satellites as rest of world
They did it. SpaceX has now launched more satellites than the rest of humanity, combined, all time.

Changing my Hepa Filter for Bio Weapon defense mode on my Cybertruck. Huge shout out to the engineers and design team that made this the easiest filter to change as it was not so easy on past vehicles. I suffer from terrible pollen allergies and this is an absolute game changer for breathing the cleanest air possible.

Okay this is genuinely insane. SpaceX just unveiled a satellite whose only job is to run AI. Not internet. Not GPS. Just compute, floating in orbit. It's called AI1, and the reason behind it breaks your brain. AI data centers on Earth are hitting a wall, not a chip wall, a physics wall. They need staggering amounts of power and water just to stay cool, and we're running out of grid and land to build them. So Musk's answer is: stop building them on Earth. In orbit, the sun never sets. Free power, 24/7. No water for cooling, you just radiate heat into the vacuum of space. The two things choking AI on the ground barely exist up there. And here's the wild part: Musk says it's easier to build than a Starlink satellite. Strip out the complex antennas and it's "a lot of solar cells, a radiator, and some laser links." One AI1 carries the compute of an Nvidia GB300 rack, the same hardware data centers fight over down here. AI1 is just the first one. The plan is a constellation of up to a million of them. And the timing isn't an accident, SpaceX goes public this week at a ~$1.75 trillion target. This isn't a rocket company anymore. It's positioning itself as the power grid for AI, in space. The race for AI compute just left the planet. Literally. @SpaceX

I had to copy @niccruzpatane and remove the backseat pad of my Tesla Model 3 Performance so I can hear the electric motors sound like a spaceship. There is a massive difference and this is going to make track days even more fun!!
This is the acceleration sound of my Model 3 Performance after removing the rear seat cushion. It’s sounds epic, just like a spaceship. Volume up.
