Quick take on FSD 14.1.7 on Cybertruck. We are here, banging at the gates of full autonomy. It's so damn good. FFS! The word that comes to mind is "confident." The truck drove like a human—a super confident one at that. I'll take the leap and say "It has replaced my wife as a driver/driving option." During my hour-plus drive I got bored/sleepy it was so good, I opened up @grok on my main screen and had a full on conversation with Ara. We talked my dog's behavior, then about firearms, so much so she recommended a local gun shop (with directions), where I ended up going. It was like having someone else (who is really fkn smart) in the car with me. Surreal. FSD handled a very complex round-a-bout, chewed up the highway and avoided a super close call when a teenager flew out in-front of me while exiting a bank (for some reason the Dashcam footage didn't record it?) I loved the scroll wheel for changing modes vs. speed. I used this almost as much as Grok. It was great b/c the police in our area are fairly aggressive, so "Standard" works excellent, but once out of our local area "Hurry" marries up with my driving style. I will say "Mad Max" was a beast on the Florida highway, you could feel the attitude and it looked for opportunity, so fun. I might rename it to "Florida Man" mode, it drove like an aggressive Floridian.😂 A nice surprise. There was a lot more allowance to check my phone or use the main screen. The monitor only nagged me once (I was being pretty liberal with my phone (not politically😉) as to where it would have nagged me multiple times on the last FSD version. Aha moment. Realizing I'm not needed as a driver and looking around for something to do or someone to talk to...enter Grok. It's crystal clear to see where this is going. Quirks: • Speed bumps. It really didn't pickup the speed bumps in our community like I expected this version would've. A little more training for this. • Parking. When I arrived at my destination it dove head first in to the closest spot in front. Initially I was impressed but; First off, It went in fast (unlike the prior parking option=slow) and only made one slight adjustment, problem is the truck was totally crooked in the spot and sort of blocking in another car. Also, I would like a preference on "where to park" 'Close' or 'Further Away' from the destination. I prefer to keep my car away from the heathens at the front of my destination...and two, I don't mind a little walk. This product keeps getting better. It's unheard of in automotive history that, not only does your vehicle get better over time it can also drive itself.🤯 Thank you for all of the incredibly hard work @Tesla @Tesla_AI @aelluswamy @wmorrill3 @elonmusk —as a Cybertruck owner and Tesla shareholder my confidence level has never been higher.

Uber is going to be bought by Google/Waymo, Amazon or Tesla/SpaceX in the next year. For a “buy it now” price of $250b, one of those three companies gets a $12b a year free cash flow machine with $70b in revenue — and hundreds of millions of global customers This is the most obvious M&A deal since Instagram, Android and YouTube transformed Meta and Google Discuss

It is important to do things that relax you, it is also equally important to do things that test yourself.

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.

Anduril just doubled its valuation and is now worth $61 Billion

To change pfp or not?

May the fourth be with you

Hey @Apple can you give us users our own preference (sort of like browser option preference) for when I push my iPhone side button to use @grok My core ethical and moral values will never let me use a product (ChatGPT) overseen by an immoral, lying, charlatan such as Sam Altman. I’m not alone in this sentiment. The first product that creates this quick button option for AI app preference will win my business. I’ve been with Apple/Mac since 1993 (and have held a giant AAPL stock position since 2002) so I’ve been hardcore Apple, for a long time. I can honestly say that Steve Jobs would have never partnered with Sam Altman. Ever.

What will the @SpaceX ticker be? “X”

I would like to offer to pay the salaries of TSA personnel during this funding impasse that is negatively affecting the lives of so many Americans at airports throughout the country

If you “had” to put all of your dry powder on one IPO, would you choose; @SpaceX or @OpenAI ?

Following any and all Cybertruck, angle heads out there! Comment below or show your 📐 and I’ve got you.🏝️

Are there any Cybertruck owners out there I’m not following?📐 Reply and I’ll follow! Share this and connect with owners who own the best vehicle ever produced!🙌🏻

I was told if you just post a picture of your Cybertruck you can get a lot of likes.

ASS for Cybertruck is overdue. Summon @cybertruck 🤞📐

HODL

So buy more $TSLA or wait for a SpaceX/XAI ipo?

YES

Time remaining to charge Cybertruck.🙌

When did X @premium over-double in price @grok ? I was not aware of this now X is trying to charge me for an entire year to renew, had I know the price doubled I would not have re-upped. The Price for ‘Premium’ works better for our budget but it will not let us out of ‘Premium ” charges until Dec 2026. Not a good policy.
