I may be a little obsessed with Tesla. And our cat, Bingley.
I've been into self-driving cars since college. Just found this yesterday - a paper I wrote for my junior year tech writing class. If you want a resource who is familiar with the state-of-the-art (um, circa 1993), you know where to find me.

Just had my first Tesla service appt - wow! I was hesitant about doing everything via app, leaving it locked w/o dropping off keys, etc .- boy, I was wrong. So easy, so smooth, all of it. Didn't have to speak to a human but I did - to thank them. Brilliant work, @Tesla

Hey Rob @TeslaPodcast - will you be covering the Tesla earnings call? Pretty please?
Hey Rob @TeslaPodcast - will you be doing a earnings review today?
Puking in my mouth. Does joy always taste like bile? It does today.

My interpretation: Optimus Production v1 vs. v2 is really HW4 vs HW5.
Prediction: Tesla/Boring build underground mass transit for Austin in 2030. Cheap tunnels + self driving vans dynamically handle traffic flow. And the vans will exit the tunnels, drive streets to drop off closer - solving last mile problem. All for a fraction of current systems.
For the first time (for me) FSD just completed a trip with 0 interventions. This trip was 45 minutes and has a lot of complicated issues (complicated downtown area, faster parts, etc.). Flawless. Failed many times with V11, V12 no problem.
#Tesla FSD subscription fee my thoughts: 1 month subscription : $129 6month subscription : $119 12month subscription : $99 1 week subscription : $49 Weekend Subscription: $20 Covering different needs of customers, eventually leading to a 12-month subscription rate

Even more impressive in person. This is the Boston/Boylston location for those nearby.

It does not matter how accurate or careful you are: some of that super glue is ending up on your fingers.
